Which is a better case? Im after, pro look and minimal styling, ideally very quiet, no more than 3 hard drives, thinking of upgrading to a 275 so will it will need to be able to take long graphics cards.

torn between the Zalman GT1000

and the Temjin TJ07

Minimal styling = http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-015-ZA ?

Pro look and minimal styling and Zalman GT1000?
Did I read right? Must be just some optical illusion...

While TJ07 has sturdy construction it also has hard HDD mounting so case will act as amplifier and louspeaker for HDD noises. (already leaking out from side holes without additional help)
SPCR found also it to develop some side panel vibrations which could be easily caused by hard HDD mounting.

Good old (and cheap) Lian Li A71 would have soft mounting, lot of space for various devices and very minimalistic no nonsense look.
(where's the minimalism in TJ07's cheese grater side meshes?)

haha ok, perhaps minimalism was the incorrect term.....more bothered about a solid quiet case....Ive ended up getting the GT1000 anyhow - will report back on it once its built, the 5mm gauge Al was the deciding factor......g
