Case question for a noob

[Peter450]

Hi all, i just joined this forum, and am new both to self building and overclocking, my current pre-built dell has been a dissapointing in a number of area's so i decided that next pc i got i would build myself

I have had a look at the various cases and all seem to be well rated in there respective mini reviews, the one i have taken a fancy to is the thermaltake kandalf va9003

There's a black one too thats cheaper, whats the differance? if it's just the colour i'l probably get the black one, is this a solid case to buy or has anyone had any bad issues with it?

Thanks for all the replies dudes, thats been really helpful

Main reason i like it is the style does look good (at least to me) in pic's that i seen

I don't want to spend a huge amount on a case, but i would like it to be large and nicely built/designed, the design/look i guess is always going to be a personal thing

I was considering a LCS armour case, since it has built in watercooling, but after reading various comments that the WC was poor i decided to play it safe as it's my first system an get a good aircooled case

About the reduced colling abilty of the non alu ones, is that a big differance? i'm not to worried about the extra weight, but if the alu ones cool much more effectively then i will probably stump up the extra
