Which one?, need a case for ease of installation, quality feel, and most importantly nice and quiet.

Will have I2500k and probably 6950/570gtx in it
 
If you mean the NZXT H2 White, I think the Define R3 would be the better bet. By all accounts the H2 isn't too bad, but the R3 is generally better overall.

If you do go for the R3 you should be aware that recently quite a few have been turning up damaged in transit. Once you receive it, give the case a thorough once-over for damage, just in case.

the h2 has horrible build quality - they just fall apart when you touch them :/.

Fractal all the way im very pleased with my R3
 
As above I assume you mean the H2 in which case I'd recommend the R3, got myself a black one a month or so ago and it's an amazing case, luckily it didn't turn up damaged either.


Take a look at that H2 vs R2 comparison video, the H2 looks cheap and nasty.
 
Woah that was a long you tube review, the gist was h2 sucks and the r3 rocks,going to order a r3 from overclockers if they can make there price competitve

I wouldn't say the Fractal has fantastic build quality either! Just look at the threads on this board from the past few weeks.

R3 >>>> H2 though.

You mean someone did a review with the sole attempt of trying to destroy it and because of that, it has horrible build quality... Look at the many other reviews that claim otherwise.

TTL for the win.

Vs. any NZXT Case id go for the R3 any day.
 
Probably a bit out of your budget but there's also the Silverstone Raven RV-02W-EW, think it's around £140 atm. TTL (for the win :D) regard it as "one of, if not the, best aircooling case on the market. Factor in you won't need any more fans, comes with all you need, not sure what extra you'd need to buy with the R3.

 
cheers for the suggestions guys, r3 winning at the moment, £80 V £100+ can't see anything to touch it......anyone got views on the phanthom
 
Aww, I would have gone for the phantom over the r3. The phantom is absolutely fantastic, not had any problems with mine, and managed to set up a full waterloop :) check out the build log in my sig for more info :)
 
I was torn between the two, but at the end of the day I'm 42 and a blingy PC was too much :D , what next furry dice in the car?
