Colossus vs 300R?

iWaller · 16 Sep 2012 at 22:38

Hey, I am building a pc.

i5 2500k
GA-Z77X-D3H
HD7850

But need help choosing a case, I can get the bitfenix Colossus and the windowed 300R for the same price. (£71). Which case do you think I should go with considering my price, and are there any other cases that would be better?
(probably oc'ing)

Dunno, but sounds like a lot of money for a 300R.

There seem to be a few benefits to the Bitfenix.
More 3.5" bays
Tool-less design
Grommets on the holes in the mobo-tray
More space in the roof

I'd still probably go for the Corsair as I prefer the design.

I'm not convinced by the 300R. Built a rig based around one for my friend and it felt very flimsy (as did a 500R for that matter). The side panel flexed too easily when trying to install it and a windowed one will be even worse I imagine. Not worth £71.
