STRUGGLING to choose a case

sreeve1993 · 2 May 2012 at 21:27

Hey guys,

I've posted a post not too long ago and thought I came to a conclusion but to be honest I'm back to square one, I have so many cases on my mind and tbh I can't choose.

I'm looking for a case with good airflow with dust filters and most of all the best for money. My price maximum is £150.
I wont be watercooling and im a PC Gamer.

Here are the cases which Ive been interested in so far:

Aerocool X-Predator
Corsair Obsidian 650D
Corsair 600T (colour im not fussed, I like both)
CM Storm Trooper
CM-690 II lite windowed
CM HAF 922
Fractal Design R3 XL
Akasa Venom Toxic
Silverstone Raven R3

If anyone can make any other suggestions or opinions I'm very keen to hear them.

Thank you
Stefan

Stinger, i forgot to mention the Corsair 600T, tbf it looks amazing and really a nice case! I was also thinking about the ANTEC P193, but it didnt just do it for me. I hate making decisions.

As I also have the Corsair SP2500 Speakers, think a corsair case would be a very nice match too

Ive also found another case, and tbf it has a lot of reviews and it looks quite nice to and its the:

NZXT Phantom Enthusiast

Trying to choose a case is getting worse now haha.

WOW. Thank you everyone, least I can take some cases of the list. I decided I wont go for the HAF, as I don't like the look of it.

I do like the raven as its different.

@ KD: What is your opinion on the NZXT Phantom Enthusiast Full Tower Case?

Thank you everyone for all your help, it has helped a lot for me and its helped to knock some cases off the list. The cases which are being considered now are the:

Phantom Enthusiast/Phantom Switch 810 (KD, you do have a point, so I will look into the Swicth 810 more).

Cosair 600T (least priority now though)

Silverstone Raven R3 (only downside of this is how the MB is fitted, and because this will be the second time I've switched a system over to a new case, I'm worried that I will mess something up, but hey, thats whats a manual is for).

Okay, now I have looked at the Phantom Switch, i'm really pleased with the case, it is remarkable and the aesthetics have really drawn me in!

Corsair 600T is out the picture and the Raven. Its just out the Enthusiast and Switch, both are amazing cases, I like the look of the Enthusiast and seems as good as the switch but the switch has a back ledlight, rotated internal fans and tbh its WOW!

The switch 810 is quite expensive for me atm, cus I want to buy some fans for it as well to increase the air flow. But my bday is June 2nd, so with all the money i get together, I think I will be going to get the switch.

Therefore, I have time to think between the Enthusiast and switch 810. I just love the look of the enthusiast, looks so unique. But again, I like the switch 810 as well, will get it in black as most of my setup is black.

Thank you for all of your help everyone
