Which Case to Get

[rajindergill]

I currently have a Lian-Li PC-7 case. I'm building a new rig, and am considering keeping my Lian-Li for this. But I'm also tempted with either:

Lian Li PC-60 Plus
Antec P160
Gigabyte Aurora
Coolermaster Wavemaster

Can you give me your thoughts on which is the better case, or should I stick with the PC 7.

They're all good cases (I've got a P160 myself), so I don't think you'll go too far wrong with any of them. Having said that, if I was going to buy a new case tomorrow, I'd go for the Antec P180. That is a very nice looking case indeed.

If i was buying a new case i'd go for the Antec P180 or what i currently have - Silverstone TJ-04 Black

[rajagra]

If you really want a P160, why not buy mine, boxed & still sealed, then I can get me a P180.

Gigabyte Aurora hands down, i love it.

Ive got a Wavemaster and i must say its beautiful, the best looking case i've ever owned but its got poor airflow, the 2x80mm intakes are noisy and don't shift a lot of air, also the blow hole exhuast is also crippled by the poor design of the fan holder. Its slighty cramp as well. But for one of the best looking cases look no further, its just not very functional

One of the silverstones definately, or the black stacker, which is sexy as hell, not quite as nice as my blue one, what it needs really is black with blue trim.

I got a Silverstone TJ05, very nice, finding it a bit small, even though its huge lol
how much bigger is the cm stacker?

Well its 12 drivebays, plus about 4" tall, about 20cm wide and nearly 50 deep.

LianLi V1200 Plus

Around £150 inc del but comes with loadsa stuff and 3 120mm fans.

i 3rd(4th?) this, keep meaning to get one of these

I think the Gigabyte looks ace and it has 3 120mm fans for fridge-like temperatures! Fairly cheap too...

[leejhamilton]

if you have the room consider the akasa case, not the prettiest case, but has loads of room for expansion and good airflow.

[BenW]

I'd go for the black P180 though, not the silver
