Ward89 · 13 Jun 2009 at 17:41

Yo Guys,

I'm buying a new case for a new build im looking to spend no more then 100 notes, i have these 3 in mind;

Coolermaster Storm 'Scout' Gaming Case
NZXT Tempest Crafted Gaming Tower Case
Antec 902 Nine Hundred Two Ultimate Gaming Case

overall budget for new build will be about 900 inc. OS but not monitor,

Any recommendations?

Many Thanks
Ward.

Out of that lot I'd get the Antec.

+1 for the antec, though do they have to be 'gaming' cases?

Ward89 · 13 Jun 2009 at 18:43

yes gaming

buy a 300 and pocket the rest or upgrade your ram and buy some fans

sorry not a 900 fan had one found it plasticy with poor build quality sold it on
brought a 300 but then brought a 4780x2 so i needed better cooling so i switched it out again and brought a xcilo windtunnel v2 excellent cooling tbh for a budget case oc dont sell it any more though

Don't forget to at least consider the HAF 922.

Noisy fans are a bit of an issue I have read from the reviews (fan controller time!!)

The 300 is a decent case - comes with 2 x 12cm fans at the top and rear. You'll need one for the front intake but still comes in nice and cheap.

I've fitted these for a number of customers and had no complaints about it's quality or price

I agree - get the Antec 300. Save some more by getting Win7 RC so not having to buy an OS.

I'd reccomend the 902, brilliant case and will last you a long time as the build quality is good, the black finish inside is nice since it has a window.

From your list it's the antec. But definitely consider the haf. ignore the " don't get it it's ugly " comments, that's just ridiculous as all people have different tastes. I have done builds in the antec and the haf. Both are good but for me the haf. Has the edge on cable managment and space.
