A few Case choices. Which one?

[DevilBoy916]

hiya guys

I am looking at a few cases to go with my Abit IP35 Pro, Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme, 8800GT.

So far I have :

Lian-Li PC-B25B Aluminium Midi-Tower (Black) - £183
Lian Li PC-A71B Aluminium Tower Case - Black - £170
Lian Li PC-A10B Aluminium Full-Tower - Black - £135
Antec P182 Super Midi Tower Case - No PSU (Gun Metal Black) - £88

As you can probably guess from these, I don't much care for over-the-top case designs. I want something clean, minimal, with really good cooling, and good interior design.
Price isn't a massive issue, but i'd like to keep it down if possible.

Any recommendations?
Cheers
DB

A71 or A10 depending on the size you would prefer..

supremely nice case, build quality is great, cable management is also very good...the only tangible difference is the extra size of the A71

Cooler Master Stacker 832 or Cooler Master Cosmos.

That cosmos is a bit too fancy for me. Don't like those handles.
I wont be moving it around much, so handles aren't really needed.

The 832 aint bad though. A bit tarty, but not bad.

I want a really quiet case, so do coolermaster, Lian Li or Antec cases keep the quietest?

 

[DevilBoy916]

Has anyone got one of the lian Li cases (A10 or A71)?

Are they as quiet as the Antec P182?

i built a system in an A10 for a customer...noisiest thing in the case was the Leadtek Leviathan Watercooled 8800 Ultra. The fans in the case were silent.

I cannot say a bad word about my Antec P182. Quiet, cool and excellent build quality.

I love my p182 but I wouldn't say it's very quiet. It's not really noisy but one medium-high fan settings you can hear it. On low though (which I have on just now) it's very quiet and still keeps everything very cool.

I never turn mine up from the low setting. My temps are 51 oC under load for the CPU and the GFX card tops out at 55oC
