Howdy, Facepunch. I've been getting sick of my terrible/impossible-to-do cable management with my awful RAIDMAX Helios case. ([URL]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=11-156-254&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=2#scrollFullInfo[/URL])
As such, I've been searching for a decent case that doesn't give me 70c mobo temps and horrid cable management. Any tips? I've been looking at some Corsair cases (more specifically [URL]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139008[/URL]). If anything, I prefer tool-less drive installation and like (but don't care entirely) cases that have the inside painted.
What cases should I pick up to replace my Raidmax?

Hmm, just realized I somewhat posted in the wrong subforum, fffffffffffffff.
HAF 912 you can't really go wrong with, though there are more subtle designs if you so choose.
The Lian Li A05NB looks great. [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112218"]Link[/URL]
Not sure how well the cable management would be, though.
If your looking for a clean look
Lian Li cases are awesome
This one for example:

Damn ninja
I have the case and cable management isn't the easiest though...
Ah. Although I can't say I'm good with cable management (scratch that, I'm awful), I'd prefer a case that has good CM options.

I would say the Corsair 650D but it's $170

Of course, but I need a case under $130.
What about the [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147107"]Rosewill Blackhawk[/URL]?

CM 690 II is actually a great case. It's good looking too.
Another vote for the HAF 912, but its styling is a bit agressive.
Maybye an antec 300 or 900, they're both a bit dated though.

I run an Antec 902. It's a good little case but definitely outdated when it comes to its features. It's also cramped and I'm going to have a hell of a time getting another 6970 in there.
I'm currently getting ready to buy a HAF 912, as the ugly green ancient box with horrible airflow it is in now isn't exactly good looking or performing. I think the haf 912 with 2 200mm blue fans and a 120mm blue exhaust fan that I already have will look awesome.
I would say just about anything from [url=http://www.rosewill.com/products/2/13/8/0000/series.htm]Rosewill[/url]. They've got great cases for low prices.
Corsair cases are perfect, save up and get one of those or one of their cheaper Carbide cases.
Going to save for an Obsidian 650D, I'd rather get something nice that I can work with than a sub-par case.
BitFenix Shinobi is great, if you can find one.

Thor is here.
I've owned this case, and I found it to be very nice. Sturdy, good airflow, easy to manage cables, and if you like, it has tool-free installation for harddrive, dvd, pci/pci-e.

X-Blade case it comes with 500 wat psu and led fan for $50
Decided that since the 650D is holyfuckexpensive, I ordered a Graphite 600T.

excellent, I shall refer all of my friends
I know you've bought a case now, but for future reference, I found the cable management in the Antec 300 to be pretty annoying and doesn't give you many options. The audio cables arn't long enough to use the HDA option on the front jacks and an ATX mobo either.
