Case with Window

Greavesy · 14 Feb 2011 at 18:07

Hey, i need to order a new case and i really want one with a side window for some reason

.

The ones ive been looking at so far:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-196-CM&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat= and ordering a panel when there back in stock.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-004-LN&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat= with a panel and again ordering a panel.

Any ideas at a similar price range?
Which of the 2 is better for cooling ?

Thanks for any help

I may be biased due to owning the CM 690 II.

It however has the has the most space for cooling fans, the SATA dock is also an incredibly useful feature. Also has a very high quality feel and is black throughout, unlike the lancool.

Or this lancool

Have just seen the tempest evo elsewhere, anyone have any experience with this case?

Whats the cooling like with it stulid?
Only four fans or is there room for more fans?
How does it compare the CM 690 ii in size?
It does look awesome

Its a tiny bit bigger than the CM690MKII.

cant see anything about adding more fans than the four it already comes with on the Lancool website.

Personally I am sitting in the CM-690 II Adv. corner for the case itself, but I dont know the shop bought window panel you can get. The Lancool looks nice from the front, but again the window is ugly to me. My 2 cents, but the CM-690 II Adv. as a case I think is brilliant for the price.

Oh yea, just to add, if you dont need the SSD tray, GFX fan mount and the top eSata connection, and can live with 2 instead of 4 toolless 5 1/4 bays, go for the light version. It comes with almost everything the adv. does. 120mm fan up front instead of 140mm too.
