Bitfenix Colossus or SST-TJ10B-WNV - Silverstone TJ10B-WNV NVIDIA Edition

Ive seen a Bitfenix Colossus, Monilith Black online and think it looks pretty nice and a bit different, but also been looking at SST-TJ10B-WNV silverstone nvidia case. Ive seen the Lian cases and like the build quality but think there boring! So was debating if any of these would be ok. I'm hoping to be running a gtx590 in there so will need good ventilation. Cheers

I'm not sure the Bitfenix cases are that good, from what I've read they're pretty average all round. I would choose a Silverstone case over one of them any day that's for sure.

What's the best case I can buy? Do you think the Lian Li PC-X500B is worth the money? Or fractal xl? Been looking for a case for ages and just can't find one which I really like look of. Was thinking of thermaltake level 10 but everyone on here put me off lol

Take a look at the Silverstone FT-02B, if you haven't already. It's one if the best air cooling cases around, and looks great in my opinion. Quite big though.

Depends what you require I guess, and how much you want to spend. Obviously Lian Li, Silverstone, Corsair for example are going to be high end cases with a higher price tag but they're well made and will probably last longer than some other cases. The thing is though a case is sort of personal, some people like big flashy lights and lots of fans with a side window, some like sleek minimal looking cases, some like a mix of both.

Personally the cases I like the look of most recently are the Corsair ones, but they aren't meant to be that good for air cooling especially for their price. If you want good air cooling though then something like a Coolermaster HAF-X will be a good bet. There's so many cases though, so the choice is yours.

Il have a good look at the ft02b now thanks, my budget is anything really. I'm not really too bothered about flashing lights, just want a nice solid case what looks good.

In answer to your original question: neither.

If you have no real budget, an FT02 is good certainly, though you could also look at a custom case. The X series from Lian Li are also worth a look.
