Cheap, lots of fans, mesh front...

Thinking that keeping my cm 690 ii isn't really a good idea. Look for something that meets the title, maybe the aerocool hive or the Salman i3?
Any thoughts?

What's wrong with the CM690?

I'm thinking of just letting it go with the am3 set up inside of it if I can sell it just to make things easier. Dont want to break the system up as no boxes or packing for stuff inside...and it's absolutely filthy currently

What's your reasoning ? And whats a Salman i3

Zalman i3 sorry, phone autochanged it and just as I'm doing a fresh build, I fancy a fresh case with a full length shroud and with the HDDs out the way as imagine this would allow better airflow/cooling

The serocool only comes with one fan so your going go have to add a couple at the front bringing it to the same cost as the zalman.

Can turn off the white lights on the zalman ? But you can adjust the fan speed on top of the case.

Zalman slightly edges it imo.

I can't really see how I could better for basically £40....4 120mm fans included and a full length shroud with mesh front! The brightness of the fans is effected by the speed but tbh, the lights won't matter to me.

I liked the zalman T7 for £30 but no fans included

Zalman t7 comes with 2 fans according to the description , add another couple of arctic p12 pwm and it's a winner.

So it does! Didn't look at that properly! It also has that lovely hinged door which I quite like the look of but would a couple of fans take it over the price of the i3? The i3 is also has a bit more room inside from the dimensions, not that it makes much difference but it's nice to have a little bit more room to play with

Order the i3, will bash up some pics of it here when it arrives (hopefully tomorrow, don't know when the cut off is for the free ext day delivery...)
