    Zalman or Corsair?

    Zalman T4 V2 or Corsair carbide 88R? There's quite a bit of a difference in price between each other but the size is about ideal for my needs. I'm moving from a mid tower that has dimensions of 24cm(w) x 55cm(H) x 54cm(L). I want something with good cooling and to be able to fit a CM TX3 and an Asus strix R9 380 GPU.
    Can I get some opinions from you guys?

    Does anyone have any experience with either cases?

    I'd say go with corsair, they generally know what they're doing!

    I've not used either of these cases, but have had great experiences with some corsair cases, opposed to some crappy ones with a Zalman case (can't remember the specific model)

    Objectively, in terms of looks, Corsair 88R - that's not coming from a Corsair rep

    Corsair for sure. Not only is it of much higher quality, you also get the peace of mind that you're back by a larger and more reputable company!

    Corsair.

    I have found zalman quality to be poor for years now, last good products was the giant copper coolers during q6600 years

    Re: Zalman or Corsair?

    Sadly no experience with those specific cases, but would personally go for Corsair! Never had any issues with their products. Previously had a carbide 400c and just upgraded to the icue 4000x. Have to agree I like the peace of mind knowing the item is coming from a reputable company when it comes to my pc
