Re: What Case should I go for?
Lian Li make awesome cases. Superb quality and great at helping things stay cool.
Re: What Case should I go for?
Depends what budget you have allowed for the build.
LianLi for a start, but then I would say that:mrgreen:
Silverstone on the upper end of the market with LianLi
Antec 182 for mid range
Bottom of the range, well would you want to bother.
LianLi
Silverstone
I am just about to star a build with the TJO9, and visually its bloody huge and stunning to look at.
Truth be told although I like my LianLi A10, I would have gone with the Silverstone.
Both are expensive but it truley is a case of you get what you pay for.
Re: What Case should I go for?
The antec series of cases seem to come highly recommended :)
What exactly are you looking for in a case, and what is your budget?
I'm guessing that you don't really mind or indeed actually like case doors, and that you're looking for a fairly quiet case that still manages to keep your system reasonably cool.
Re: What Case should I go for?
Budget is £100 MAX without PSU

You've got it in one!!! Correct!!!
I'ved always used Antec as I believe they make good quality cases, however last one I used was coolermaster praetorian 730 which I also thought was good ..
Please advised
Re: What Case should I go for?
I recently bought a Akasa Eclipe and i really like it. Its very big with plenty of room to work with and to hide cables etc. The airflow is very good as well with just two fans so it is pretty quiet as well!
Re: What Case should I go for?
Front ports in wrong place on that one Clunk, unless you like cases taking up desk real estate.
Sounds like a P-182 to me Umster.

Nice one!!!! I think so too. however I do like the coolermaster too but noone has mentioned it :)
Re: What Case should I go for?
Which one? I like the Stacker 830, but it's a bit large.
Re: What Case should I go for?
coolermaster praetorian 730 or newer model what ever it is?

Then you want an Antec P182. Or a P180 if you don't mind taking more effort over cabling - 182 makes it much easier.

Another vote for a Lian-Li, they have a lot of models on offer at present.
Re: What Case should I go for?
Guess its the P182 then. :rockon2:
As said by EtheAv8r take your time with the cabling and you wont have a problem.
