Can't decide which case to pick!

Well I am currently stuck and don't know what case to pick out of these 3 choices:

Fractal design R2

Antec mini P180

Lancool PC K62

What one would you go for?

Lancool, great case.

(This could be bias as i have one

)

adam_castell · 1 Sep 2010 at 13:40

my preference would be Fractal Design, sleek, modest, and silent

Fractal: 2
Lancool: 2
Antec: 0

Fractal for me - better cable management and just looks a little more my taste

The Antec is the mini version, not full size, not really fair comparison, are you using mATX build? If so go for the Antec, used to have original P180 and it was very good/excellent, plus if you are mATX then the mini would presumably take up less space (cant be bothered to check)
Havent used either of the other two but from reading around the fractals are popular choice/well regarded so if full size build go for that I guess

well i have chosen the components for a matx build and standard size build so i can choose either of the 3 cases. I think the antec holds its own even though it's not full size and i prefer it over the bigger version. (plus the mini p180 is not a whole lot smaller than a full size case).

well it's 3-3 so far, you're not making this easy!

Lancool, built one today and it's great for cable management. Sleek look too, only downside is the lack of support for decent watercooling.

Kosmiche · 1 Sep 2010 at 19:30

Lancool

OCDStevo · 1 Sep 2010 at 19:30

Fractal

95thrifles · 1 Sep 2010 at 19:36

itll end up 50/50 prob, both good cases, go for which ever one you prefer

I love my Lancool, great for air cooling.
But the Fractal looking more sleek.
Either way, i think youll be delighted with both

Have you looked at youtube reviews??

Penfold99 · 1 Sep 2010 at 21:44

I think from them 3 cases I would pick Lancool case.

6-4 to Lancool, but i think i might be going with the fractal as if it i get the lancool i will have to spend ages braiding/making everything look neat. Plus i like the idea of having the sound dampening. But saying that the lancool looks like it would be a lot easier to build in. Man this is a hard decision!
