which case
I want to replace my 3 years old jeantec fusionlight with one of the following cases that i have rolled my eyes over so many time...and they happen to be in stock today according to scan website!
I prefer case with side window.
Suggestions/comments plz? :help:

Re: which case
Go for the Antec 900 the other 2 look like they wanna go and paint their toe nails..:)

Re: which case
Both the Antec 900 and the CM-690 are great cases and come highly recommended.
Probably with the 900 you get better airflow but it might be a little noisier than the 690. Since I prefer low noise I would go with the 690..

Re: which case
thanks for reply,
I really like antec 900 but what about wire management? jeez, i was looking through gallery of antec 900 in hardforum, dear me, some of them totally murdered their inside case, wires were everywhere!

Re: which case
I personally have the Tsunami Dream and having owned 20+ cases I can safely say its the best quality I have owned. Really easy to open up, extreamly solid, great airflow and well placed cabling. The hdd caddy is a breeze as are the rear ports.

Re: which case
Despite its detractors... one of my older gaming rigs uses that very same T'Take Tsunami.
It's a damned fine case IMO, with excellent cooling - which of course is important in a gaming rig :)
But that said... if I'd had a similar choice as you now have at the time, I'd have chosen the Antec Nine Hundred instead ;)

Re: which case
Thanks for the suggestions guys,
@hamd01: do you own an Antech 900 case if so i like to hear your opinion about it.
I do prefer the appearance of the Tsunami Dream over Antec 900, it looks "sexy" somehow.
Why picking out a case have to be so hard!

Re: which case
Going down a slightly different road how about one of these http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=885999 admittedly you can buy 2 of the other cases for the same money but hey it is very sexy.
Or perhaps the NZXT Tempest (this is more reasonably priced £69) http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144802 or the the NZXT Lexa which comes in different flavours from £69-80.
If I had to make the choice from the three you list it would probably be the CM690 built my brothers PC in one earlier in the year easy to work with, cool running and decent cable management, not sure the 900 offers £10 more in features or quality.

Re: which case
@ Webby;
well, I only have been looking at cases on Scan website. So i had a look at your link on NZXT case, and my jaw just dropped. It has side window, comes with fans, lights, etc and it got nice review as well. I will look at few more NZTX cases on ebuyers webiste, if nothing else strikes me, I will go for that case because it meets my need as said above and free delivery on ebuyers!
So thx Webby! :bowdown:

Re: which case
I just ordered it from ebuyers woohoo! man, free delievery within 5 working days.. :confused: lol
-
Re: which case
Yeah the 5 days will probably not be they are pretty good with getting the orders out fast.
And glad I could be of service, take some photos as you build it and post them on here so we can see it in all its glory :)

Re: which case
lol, i was terrified by not having it till friday ( or they said so to scare me! lol) so i changed the shipping to tuesday lol :angst:
Another reason that encouraged me to get this case is that everyone seems to have thermaltake, lian-li, coolmaster or/and antec so i guess i just want to be different but that case does look "delicous".
I will post some pictures when i migrate my components to that case but first, i need to find a decent camera...:O_o1:

Re: which case
I would save some more pennies and get the Antec 1200 instead.....
-
Re: which case
Um he is going for a £70 case how is he going to save money going for an Antec 1200 which unless you know of a really good deal costs £115?
-
Re: which case
I dont want to spend too much money on a case to be honest. I wanted to spend between 60-70+ quids on a case that's why the cases i listed dont go beyond 80 quids if you notice.
Before I even posted this thread, I really like to go for CM-690 cause i read few threads on chassis and staffsMike suggested CM-690 for most of them if not all!. Shame that it doesn't have a side panel window else I have brought it without asking for your opinions on this thread.
Hehe, I viewed the Silverstone Fortress case that Webby linked to and as soon as i saw £158, i closed it. It all comes down to money and that is one of the things that im short of.
Being a student, univ next year :-)

Re: which case
Yeah the Fortress was really a joke :) I never expected you to really consider it.
