    Which case is better?


    Well, I'm gunna be building a computer for the first time (as seen in my last thread here). I was carefully comparing some parts (and still kinda am), and found a few other cases cheaper (except the last, but because it has 8 fans), and also looks like some could be better functionality-wise, fan/cooling-wise and room-wise, because I'm going for a top end gaming computer, so I'm assuming (remember, first time maker here) that the components are going to be considerably bigger than normal ones, but all the cases are full-size so it should be OK. Here's the list of the cases:

    The case I was considering first: Antec Twelve Hundred Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

    XCLIO Blackhawk Color Black Finish 0.8 mm SECC / ABS Plastic ATX Full Tower Extreme Cooling PC Case

    NZXT Zero Black/Silver Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case


    XCLIO A380COLOR-PLUS Black 1.0 mm SECC / ABS Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case

    XCLIO 1000 Black / Silver 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

    Personally i would choose the "NZXT Zero Black/Silver Aluminum ATX" but if if you plan to use plenty of fans maybe the "XCLIO A380COLOR-PLUS Black 1.0"? You could also google "Aerocool" first link that comes up - a pretty nice make of atx cases with good cooling facilitys :)

    I'd go with Cooler Master's HAF 932 (It's my current case). Plenty of rooms, plenty ventilation, large silent fans, good build quality overall.

    I think I'll go with zzz's suggestion, looks like air ventilation is great with 3 230mms and a 140mm. Also a user review said it was quite wide and spacious, plus it looks awesome and is $30 cheaper than what I was going for.

    If you don't like the look of the 932, and you can wait a week or two for PC shops to get it in stock, Coolermaster have just announced the release of their HAF X (HAF-942)
    HAF X - Cooler Master
    Looks better, and has 4 200mm fans, rather than 3.

    Good choice anyway with the 932. I hope you like it.

    lol, that's subjective.

    They are both pretty unique in the looks department ')

    The HAF X has the advantage with dust filters though.

    I've been reading up on the HAF X and I really like it... best case I've seen in a while at least for me. The only thing I can think of that it doesn't have is a removable motherboard tray.
