    Question Looking for a new case.

    Hey all... Anyways, I am really considering a new case because quite frankly mine is awful... But yea, i'm really considering the Coolermaster Wavemaster Case. Still not sure yet, but wondering, do you guys know of any good cases that dont need to be modded on yet they are really nice and are really efficient when it comes to like tempature and what not? I'm willing to spend around $150-$200.

    Thanks for your help.

    Well, it is an Antec/Chieftech/Chen ming variant so the case should be OK.
    Doen't have a slideout mobo tray but there will be plenty of room to work in.
    I don't know what quality the PSU is, you could try Googling for some reviews.

    Go for the Coolermaster, chap. Despite the chieftec/antec build quailty of the ocsystem and it's similar likeness - Thermaltake Xaser, they do look a bit "bling bling".

    Despite coolermaster cases being slightly more expensive, the aluminium chassey will be lighter, and to popular belief will help to decrease temperatures due to Aluminiums heat transfer properties. Plus... most CM cases look at least a little more classy

    Go for the wavemaster, simply MUCH nicer than the OCSystem ones... inside and out.

    Don't get me wrong the OCSystem case is built on a solid chassis, but is somewhat ruined with Thermaltake style design.

    you WILL be more happy if you buy a Coolermaster case as Aluminium is something u just can't go back on

    don't get an antec, 3 mates have got them: they are large, loud and shocking biuld quality. they fall apart!

    they do get lower temps than my case, but then again, they don't have 4 hdds in the way.

    btw look at my coolermaster (in yesterdays form):

    tomororow will stealth the other optical drive. already stealthed the floppy.



    Bunjiweb@you can't go back, unofrt. you also spend money on matching everything to the aluminum!!!

    btw get the wave or 201.

    Uhh oh guys... It doesnt look like the coolermaster's slots fit regular drives (i.e. a Lite-On LTR-52327S for instance). Would that still fit?

    I'm pretty certain that your drive will fit in. There is a standard in computer cases - 3 1/2" for floppy and hdd, 5 1/4" for cd drives. If you look at XTRs Gallery, the Wavemaster has the Coolermaster Musketeer and the Cooldrive (I think it's the cooldrive...). These are both the standard 5 1/4" standard, so your cd drive - unless it's three foot long - will fit in
