Thinking about a new case and I have narrowed it down to these two
does anybody have either and have any comments to make good or bad?

I had a praetorian. Good case for the most part, but was bit too cramped for me.
The gigabyte looks good its had some very good reviews look on custompc.co uk
Thats sort of what I was thinking, The Preatorian 732 is good looking & tried &tested manufacturer, but I think I'm leaning towards the Gigabyte, I was just hoping to come across someone who had actually bought one,for there views!
Can I suggest the Gigabyte, as it has rave reviews. But can I make another recommendation which is on special offer from Scan. The Chenbro Gaming Bomb II, which is all Aluminium and comes in either silver or black. Its £81 on special offer down from £130 (today only).

Yes I did look at that but I dont really like the look of the front of it!
I would wait till after the 22nd and check out the new coolermaster stacker 2 although it'll probably be expensive.
That aurora looks like it has every option you could think of included in it, and a very funky front light (projects 'aurora' onto the desk) - i'd buy it just for that, let alone the twin 120mm exhausts on the back with pre-drilled water cooling pipe holes.

aurora.. no contest..
Me want Ultrabook
I have the aurora, its fantastic! The dual rear fans are awesome, my PC has never been so cool! The front projection thing is sweet and the general blue glow rocks! Installation couldn't have been easier. 100% recommended.
The Gigabyte Aurora is a great looking case and wish I could afford one, but as I'm on tighter budget I think I'm gonna go with the Centurion as that has had great reviews for the money.
Aurora ordered! With Scan free delivery goodness!
Thanks for your replies
Aurora delivered, installed and running!. Nice case (Bought the black one). not difficult to build, except for the front panel connectors, but I've never seen a case with enough room to get my fat fingers in! Nice build quality, metal maybe a bit thin (but that may be because I'm more used to 5mm checker plate!) but seems sturdy enough. Much quieter than in my centurion, and its huge in comparison, I'm going to have to clear more space on the desk!
Update... I would say it has dropped my case temps by about 3-4 degrees at least, and thats with having cut (badly) a 120 mm blowhole in the top of the centurion, in fact that fan is probably why it was so noisy! So far well impresse with the Gigabyte
Glad your enjoying it, make sure you customize the front projector thing!
Can the lights be turned off? Im tempted by this case as its one of few to offer dual radiator support without modding. But if i want a silent machine to run at night i need one that doesnt produce light either when i want to sleep.
