Help choosing a new case

FatFishMonster · 19 Sep 2011 at 12:57

hi guys

im in need of a new case :/

my current case isnt good enough, it looks to cramped in there and the fixing bit on the side pannel has now become bent where it gets screwed in and it just feels really cheaply made.(serves me right for buying cheap casecom)

so i was just wondering if you give me a few cases that are good

i need:
good air flow
not cramped
ATX board.
possibility of adding in watercooling for cpu and gpu.

would also prefer it to come with a SSD bracket but thats not a must.
mu budget is 100-130

thanks

SILVERSTONE FT02- couldn't be happier with it. Air cooling is amazing.

also look at the corsair 800D

Robertnpmk · 19 Sep 2011 at 13:44

yeah my decision ended up being between the 2.

i dont have the kind of money for a silverstone :/

any body know is the Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 is any good.

also the 800D is out of my price range

my budget is really 100-130

I would go this for sure http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-075-SV&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=1092 at that budget if you want real good airflow.

Corsair 650D is nice too.

i like that silverstone case. do the cables come out the top where they are visible though ?

The cables do come out of the back on the ravens but the top cover hides them. Mine is the Rv02 and it's a fantastic case for cooling. Should be within your budget if you look around.

oh right i see how that works.

thank you for uploading the pictures

im looking into some video reviews now.

still hanging between the antec dark fleet, nzxt phantom and the corsair 650D

morkfromork · 19 Sep 2011 at 18:27

No problem. To be honest the 650d would win hands down on the other two. Looks so much nicer than the other two.

FatFishMonster · 19 Sep 2011 at 18:39

i seem to prefer the looks of the phantom. but the 650D looks better for air flow and the option of watercooling

shamzzz · 19 Sep 2011 at 19:10

I wouldn't even think about getting the dark fleet they're horrible cases. 650D is an awesome case

FatFishMonster · 19 Sep 2011 at 19:55

it is a bit on the ugly side. but i really like the fetures it boasts. the hot swap drives, the fan doors, the build in speed switches.

dark fleet is at the bottom of the list.

it seems to me that the 650D is all about practicallity and not the best looking (my opinion) and then the phantom is still practical but is very good looking (again my opinon, looks like a storm trooper

)
