Need a new case below £175

Happy · 23 Jan 2008 at 20:50

I have been looking for a new very large case with good airflow for a while. I have selected the following;

Lian-Li PC-A71B
Coolermaster Cosmos 1000
Coolermaster Stacker 832

With the Thermaltake cases, apart from the plastics, are the internal chasis different?

Thermaltake VH6000BWS Armor+ Super Tower Case with Window
Thermaltake VG4000BWS Xaser VI Super Tower Case with Window

I'm leaning towards the Lian-Li PC-A71B, and I could presumably attach a fan contoller to it, if so any recommendations?

Any advice on any other cases and those I mentioned, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

if spending around £175 on a case wouldnt it be better to choose between lian-li or silverstone?
silverstone seem to be a great deal ahead of coolermaster for quality and an extra £25 would bag a TJ07 wich in my estimate is about one of the best cases you can buy.
The TJ09 is also a fabulous case and as much if not more room than a cosmos, it also comes in a touch cheaper than its TJ07 counterpart at around £150/160 if ya shop about.
also have a look at the tj03 wich may intrest you but if it was me and i wasnt going for the 07 id opt for the 09,

I brought a silverstone tek tj09 november after months of looking for the right case the coolmaster 1000 was my otehr option, so happy i went with the tj09 now its a wounder to work with and the fact u can remove the motherboard tray helped no end when first fitting the stock cooler and then my tuniq tower.

Any questions i should be able to answer the basics.

not really in the same league as the temjin range though, its more about shopping in a class rather than case size, bit like comparing a ferrarie and a lexus the lexus is nice but its no super car.

Each to there own , hope you find the case your looking for mate

Just buy the TJ09 u wont regret it the moment u get it out the box and start building your new pc. It looks stunning and to work with is fantastic. i was worried at first at spending so much on a case. Id i had *** choice again id take a Silvertone Tek TJ09 or 10 each and every time
