CM690 v Antec 900

Hi all,

I was originally going to get an Antec 1200 to house a new Nehalem rig in the spring but my car died and long story short i can't afford Nehalem anymore! So instead im gonna upgrade my current pc with the little cash i have left. Don't need space for watercooling and it doesn't need to be total silent. What would you guys get the antec or the coolermaster? Or maybe something totally different! Budget is 70 quid maximum. Thanks

Can't believe i forgot about the Antec 300! The only thing with this though is i heard the cable management is very awkward. It is dirt cheap though so i could get a new mouse with the spare money! Ill have a read of the 300 threads to see what people say. Cheers

Nice accept I would turn the psu the other way up, cos It cant pull any air into the psu that way up.

I can highly recomend the CM690 having just put together a system for a friend with one.

Much better then the 900 IMO, but would still get a Lian-Li or 300 for the money.
