Another chassis question.

[DecomposingStar]

I currently have an NZXT Nemesis Elite case. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but i don't know why i bought it, i just did, but i can't seem to get the damn cables tidy, it always feels cramped when working in there, and it looks a bit silly, really.

So, can anyone recommend me a fairly mid-price case (I wouldn't like to pay over £100 unless you can really convince me) with a hell of alot of room, good airflow, and tidy cable management?

If nothing tickles my fancy, I'll be replacing the fairly noisy fans on my case, and probably wacking in a water-system.

Thank you!

Akasa Eclipse 62 has shelves of room, and plenty of little places for tidy cable routing.

Oh and the front door panel needs to house the front section of a Creative X-Fi Platinum (of which the NZXT DOESN'T )

The Akasa Eclispe looks awesome and a 9/10 is damn good.

Any other cases in a similar grade/price to that Akasa?
(thanks aidanjt)

The Akasa Mirage 62 is the exact same internally, just with a blander front plate with a door, not sure if the X-Fi head will fit behind that or not though. I never liked cases with doors for that reason (being things that stick out a tad might block the door).

[DecomposingStar]

Yeah, manufacturers should REALLY tell door clearance specs.

Any other case manufacturers with similar products?

[aidanjt]

The Antec P180 would probably be my second choice if the door didn't bother me. The CM Stacker 830 is pretty sweet aesthetically, but it's pricey, I'm not fond of the 'toolfree' assembly nonsense, and I'm not too sure about how well it fairs in the cable routing department.

[DecomposingStar]

I looked at the Stacker, but its very expensive, and the P180 got horrid reviews!

The akasa with new fans and a window seems to be winning the race so far!

[aidanjt]

That's what I'd go for too.

You won't regret it!

Best case i've owned by far..very nicely made..huge inside and great airflow.

[DecomposingStar]

Sounds good to me.

Next month's new spend will be that case, i reckon.

After reading the review for the Antec 900, I am torn.
The Antec looks nicer, has lots of fans, and seems to have everything the asaka has and more...

Which do i get :S
