Want a new case

[PermaChanged]

Hey guys,

I'm after a new case and want some opinions on what to get.

I want a smaller case than what I currently have, I have a stacker at the moment, and I just want a Midi case I think....

I've got rid of all my water cooling and am back to air, but it has left a gaping hole in the top of my case as I did have a triple 120mm radiator.

I would prefer black with silver accents rather than silver with black bits. I want it to be quite stylish and not garish. I have 4HDD's and one optical drive, I don't intend to add any more hard drives but would like room for an extra on just in case. I want 120mm fans only as I have a load of high quality ones.

Heres the previous case for reference to size.

Only has 3 internal 3.5" bays so thats a no go.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Gets a good review from a well known review site!

The floppy bays can double as internal 3.5" bays. If you have a budget on the higher end You could go for something like a V1000 or even a PC-101.

There's also the every-popular Antec P182.

I just got the Coolermaster CM 690 this morning it looks sleek and straight foreward i particular like the two fans on top i think its better than some with a bigbig one on top!

Looks fairly decent! Can you get some more pics when they system is in? I wanna see how tidy it can be made.

Thanks

Antec Solo. It may have 2x92mm fans holders at the front instead of the 120mm you are after but you can pick up a couple of quiet 92mm fans for £5. It is also a high quality case and allows cable routing etc. I couldn't be more happy with mine!

Only thing that puts me off the 690 is my experience with my current case the Centurion 341-342 or whatever it is Since th mesh front likes to gather a lot of dust sometimes, its just not ideal

Silverstone TJ9/10? Probably a bit bigger than your current one though. I have the TJ09 and its a great case.

Its the same mesh stuff as the stacker, everyonece in a while I clean them, it's not a big problem, but it does look ugly, maybe enough to put me off the 690..... Hmmmmmm

I'm quite liking the look of the Gigabyte GZ-X1 in Black.
