Help needed on new case

[Guy]

As the title suggests i havnt quite decided on a new case, ive narrowed it down to 2,

either the akasa eclipse 62

or the Chenbro Gaming bomb 2
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=143367

Any one got either of the 2 cases?

Thanks

I have the Eclipse out of the two cases and it's a very nice case.

Have you read the review of the Chenbro on Anandtech? http://www.anandtech.com/casecooling...oc.aspx?i=2298

Cant say i had, i read the review of the akasa on hexus but there were much fewer reviews of the chenbro

Eclipse every time - its such an adaptable chassis which can cope (well) with most eventualities

If you do go for the Chenbro - Scan sometimes put them on 'Today Only' and reduce the price a fair bit IIRC.

yeh thats really one of the only reasons i didnt straight away for the eclipse, because if i got the chenbro when it was on the today only page, i could save about £20

I thought it went for around £70.

Eclipse ftw!

Simple as, every time this question comes up I give the same answer. It is the best case out there for this kind of money. The internal look of it is superb, the build quality is top, only downside is that you need to get your own fans but that can be viewed as a plus because it means to dont have some cheap and nasty fans you will never use. Although the sharkoon fans that have been rated quite highly aren't that expensive.

Get the eclipse, you will not be dissapointed.

eclipse out of those 2, i still like the antec solo more

The Chenbro Gaming Bomb 2 is quite a nice looking case, and appears to be quite a good choice, but for konown good cooling performance the Eclipse is a safet choice, only bettered in the opinion of many, by the Antec P180, which is probablt the bost case currently available for cooling and quietness, and it is a great quality case.

The Chenbro does look interesting, but for me at the moment is an unknown and unproven option, and the Antec P180 and Akasa Eclipse are both very well known and proven.

I'd also pick the Eclipse - but more because I'd rather not spend over £100 on a case!

The Gaming Bomb works out cheaper when on Today Only as I stated above but I'm undecided which one he should go for (even though I have Eclipse and P180).

I vote for the Eclipse, I have it and its great.
