I need help choosing a case for my new build.

Hi guys,

Again thanks for all the help in advance, basically am torn between Antec 1200 Twelve Hundred, Coolermaster RC-1100 Cosmos S "Sport", Antec Skeleton Performance Chassis and the Coolermaster Storm 'Sniper' Gamer Case. Ideally the cheaper the better but I want pleanty of scope for upgrades and potentially watercooling and or SLI etc. I am pulled purely on a looks basis to the Cosmos and the Skeleton... the latter for its unusualy design.

Which would you guys recommend the most? Also if there are any fantastic cases ive not mentioned you feel would suit my needs that are cheaper etc then please recommend them.

you can score out the antec skeleton for a start

IMO one ugly looking case (if you can call it that), and if your a clumsy as me and go and spill something on it

thought about the Coolermaster HAF.?

I have the cosmos S and its a brilliant case, loadsa space, brilliant airflow, everything is easy to install too

I woudl also recommend getting a scythe kaze master fan controller, very nice fan controller

Get the Cooler S, it's an amazing case; good airflow and capable of WCing - triple rad (even better if you get one with a side window)
The HAF doesn't have fan filters, so i wouldn't get it, the Skeleton looks hidious and the sniper case would probley have problems installing a dual rad internally.

No problems at all mate - I have 240 rad at the top and 120 rad at the back - internally.

BTW I would go for Cosmos S - it is bigger and better for WCing.

Yeah im gonna go for the Cosmos S, dunno but as far as cases go, its sexy as hell. Im going to this from a Thermaltake Xaser 3! Hated that case after 5 minutes of using it!
