There is no accounting for taste! . . . aesthetics are very personal thing! . . . let the buyers choose for themselves!

Haha I have to say those antec cases are not my thing! Although currently using an antec300, it seems I prefer a simpler looking case and do prefer the coolermaster.

Thanks Liampope for the modular PSU explaination, having looked at prices will probably stick with standard and just cope with the spaghetti junction.

Will the coolmaster heatsink do the job or should I go for the more expensive? Any case fans needed too?

Yeah should be fine for a medium overclock! :cool:

Apologies - dont think I mentioned I will be selling my current computer but taking out the sound card + storage HD!

Just spend some time looking through all the cases . . . thats all I ask! :cool:

stulid · 22 Sep 2010 at 22:05

an extra two 120mm fans wouldn't hurt, if these where in stock http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-003-YL&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4 they get well received amongst forum members, and for £4 you cant go wrong.

stulid · 22 Sep 2010 at 22:07

heres two cases that look similar to that coolermaster, but cost more,

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-005-LN&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=1447

because it doesn't look like a slapped ass

the Antec 200 actually looks like Kryton's head from Red Dwarf

Big.Wayne · 22 Sep 2010 at 22:09

Liampope · 22 Sep 2010 at 22:26

My god it looks like something out of Iron GI Joe Man Transformers or something!

Maybe Antec are the Hollywood Military Hardware Prop Dept.?
