What case from these 3?

True_Scotsman · 7 Oct 2009 at 14:42

Looking to buy a new case at the end of the month and cant decide from these 3, what case and why?

1- Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - Black (No PSU)

2 - Coolermaster CM-690 Pure Black Dominator Case - Black (No PSU)

3 - Coolermaster Storm 'Scout' Gaming Case - (No PSU)

I do like the look of the antec and the storm scout, but what are they like for airflow/cooling and noise?

Thanks

The antec 300 is an awesome little case IMO, great airflow capacity, and a good layout. I did however change the fans, as even on their quietest setting they are a touch too loud IMO for how much air they shift.

The scout looks like something you'd find being driven by the local chav round McDonalds carpark.

The 690 is probably the best case, but the 300 is a good cheap choice.

What about any better options than the above then? Max £80.

Damn, I'm starting to sound like an NZXT fan boy.

This also looks interesting!

+1 for the cm690. good airflow and good cable management.

id take the antec 300 out of the ones you listed mate.

Haven't had one myself, but I've heard no end of good things about the LanCool cases, and it weighs in around the £60 iirc.
