• New case needed, opinions?
    42 replies, posted
Hey, my case is pretty old and crap now so I'm in need of a new case. Full tower would be prefered but I think I will be ok with a mid tower. Ideally I'd like it to be under £110 I looked at the CM 690 Advanced however by the time P&P was sorted it came to around £90 which is close to the price of a HAF 932 and it is a full tower case, however I don't like its looks. I want something sleek like the Corsair 700D only without the large price tag. Thoughts appreciated, thanks.

Yeah I've always had the 300 in mind but I think I want something a bit different. Them new fractal design cases look very nice. [url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/190866[/url]

The Lian li pc-7fn black aluminium ATX mid tower case. [URL]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112249[/URL] It costs: 79.6543 EUR OR around 99 dollars EDIT Fractal is nice aswell, lloks spacious.
This seems to fit your price range. Maybe if you like the whole black & blue look. I think the inside looks sick with all black interior as well. NZXT Tempest ($109) [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146062&cm_re=nzxt_tempest-_-11-146-062-_-Product[/url] [editline]11:45AM[/editline] or this Lian Li Lancool for $109 as well [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112239[/url]

A friend of mine has it and for a mid-tower its amazing.
Yeah, I'm looking into that case myself. Hopefully they'll have some sort of 10% off bit somewhere, I might just ebay a new one if I can find it a bit cheaper. At least it has Free Shipping (if you take the $20 you save from the rebate and pay the $20 shipping with that). I am also looking into the Corsair H50 watercooling system sometime in the future and I read that this case was good for watercooling as it had the slots and holes preinstalled.

No. No. How dare you not get the CM 690 II, or even the Non II Just look at this with a window :3: [url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149222[/url] or the II :3: Just a work of art [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductID=1154021&source=froogle[/url] ^^^ i have one Or the fractal
Alas I think you are right, the CM 690 II is nearly exactley what I am looking for. Thanks for all the help guys I'll keep all these cases in mind.
I just bought the NZXT Tempest EVO. I'm about to transfer all of my stuff into it. I'll let you know how everything fits.
Okay, cheers mate.
Alright, I got everything set up in here. It has 6 fans and it pulls in a ton of air. It runs cold and has a nice side panel. You can fit up to 6 HDD's in it and it has space for cables to go around the back. It's black on the inside and I love it. I didn't realize how much more spacious it is than my previous case which had only two fans (side and rear exhaust). I know it's only been a day, but it's great. I also like the fact that the PSU goes on the bottom. I snatched it for $100 from CompUSA today, seeing as you live in Ireland that's not really an option. I think they go for about $110 or so online plus whatever shipping to Ireland is. [editline]11:06PM[/editline] Just joking, you can fit 8 HDD's in it.
Try to stay away from NZXT, they are decent, the KHAOS is an awesome case and i think its Aluminium but the lower end ones like the Lexas and stuff like that arent to great Thought the lexa s is alright

Only problem is that its a little small for my taste. Thats why I got an antec 1200, although I might switch to a HAF.
HAF sucks bullshit, it's ugly as fuck. It may have good cooling and stuff, but again, it's ugly as fuck. Get a Coolermaster 690 II, best case in the world, as the great KFC adverts say, you'll feel like you robbed them. It should cost like 200£ but its only like 70

If you want to save a bit then get a Lancool K-62.
Lancools are alright, i dont like the HAF because it just looks really grungy ya'no, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion, though i'm right. Anyway go cm690II I have one.
Yarp, looks are preferences, this is true. But saying you have a case doesnt mean every one else should, amirite? Although it is an awesomme case [editline]07:39PM[/editline] I mean, AWESOMME [editline]07:39PM[/editline] 9 fans, holy fu-
It's a 10 possible fans actually, so yeah I think if I'm getting a new case it'll probably be the CM 690 II.
And it comes with 5x140mm Its uber cool. And cool.
The cooler master haf 932 is a really nice case and has good air flow. that is what i would choose
No frick, we've decided he should go with a Coolermaster 690 Advance II, it's better than the 932, and looks the part.
[QUOTE=derlicious;22160774]No frick, we've decided he should go with a Coolermaster 690 Advance II, it's better than the 932, and looks the part.[/QUOTE] Not a bad case. My case is the CM 690. It's functional and looks nice.
The II is even better
[QUOTE=derlicious;22162639]The II is even better[/QUOTE] yea a friend of mine has the II looks really nice
I like this new guy
