New case advice, please: E-Shield or Focus G?

[Dmitriy Makarov]

Hi,

My alternative:
1) DeepCool E-Shield (usually reffered as a better quality, only one fan, no dampers in HDD cage), or
2) Fractal Design Focus G (2 fans, dampers in HDD cage, very thin metal).

Any hint or advice, please? - particularly if you have experience of building in any of these cases or using them.
Many thanks in advance!

Ive Built in the focus G, its not great, no PSU shround, no room for cable management, i had to stuff all the spare cables in the 3.5 drive cage... acrylic window will scratch easily.

I assume for some reason you need a 5.25" bay??

I would try your luck and make an offer in customer services for £50 for one of these

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x **B Grade** Phanteks Enthoo Pro Mid Tower Case - Black= £59.99
• 1 x **B Grade** Phanteks Enthoo Pro Glass Midi Tower Case - Black= £64.99

Total: £137.28 (includes shipping: £12.30)​
