    FT02 - WRI or TJ07B

    Help,

    I have finally decided to get rid of my ageing Chieftec case(the door fell off). It has served me well.

    I thought I might get something decent but cannot decide between the Silverstone FT02 - Wri and the TJ07b. Any help or advice would be much apreciated.

    I know one of the considerations is whether I want to watercool or not, and I am not sure. However I do prefer the look of th FT02.

    Regards

    Daniel

    Re: FT02 - WRI or TJ07B

    Basically you've come to the crux of the point, air or water cool. The FT02 is a fantastic aircooling case, I have one and I love it, but ive no interest in heading down the water route. If you do intend on doing that it severely limits you unless you fancy some serious modding. In that case the TJ07 is much better option.

    Appologies that that doesn't really make the decision any easier, but really it depends what you want from the case.

    I love my TJ07. Everything from the looks to the versatility I find fantastic.

    One of my best value purchase, which is surprising given that after all its a glorified box.

    Spot on, exactly my issues to air cool or water cool. I suppose I like both so I cannot loose.
