What new case with front fan ?

Sorry dude, I can't bring myself to post some of the funkier looking cases.

For about a 1er, this is as funky as Petey gets :/

YOUR BASKET
1 x Corsair Carbide 500R Midi Tower Case - Black/White £93.95
1 x NZXT Phantom 410 Enthusiast Midi Tower Case - Black/White £89.99
1 x Thermaltake Level 10 GTS Gaming Case - Black £89.99
1 x Cooler Master CM-690 II Advanced USB3.0 Windowed Dominator Case - Black £84.98
Total : £388.37 (includes shipping : £24.55).



On the bright side, these all come with alternate colour options - especially the Phantom 410.
 
Cheers guys, i shall have a closer look at those, and read up on some reviews.

I only live in Essex, i actually grew up in Egypt & Holland (Egyptian dad, Dutch mum) and only moved to England about 6 years ago, so there's not that much Essex in me, i just like big fans :D

I think you should get a more 'neutral' looking case :D

That would like nice if it had blue fans on the front and side i think.

Just been through all cases on here, and these stood out for me :

Are those 3 allright, or should i stay of away of one/all of them ?
 
And the RS makes you puke? :D

Of the three, the Mechatron has the best interior options. Don't like the unfinished look of the top panel though.
Not sure on the interior of the X-Warrior but it has no roof fan provision, so instant fail from me.
Not convinced by the cable management option on the Sniper.

Overall, the Mechatron is the clear winner for me. If you like the looks, it's a well featured case with plenty of cooling options and what looks to be good cable management ( although I have no idea how much room is available behind the tray).

Buy blue LED fans?

Allready bought the case, just awaiting delivery for when i'm actually at home. I will be adding a couple more fans though i think.

It (Thermaltake Overseer RX-1) comes with these fans included :

- Front intake 200 x 200 x 30
- Rear exhaust 120 x 120 x 25
- Top exhaust 200 x 200 x 30

And i can add these extra ones :

- Side intake 200 x 200 x 30
- Top 2nd exhaust 200 x 200 x 30
- Bottom intake 120 x 120 x 25

Though when looking at fans on here i can't see any one them indicate if they're intake or exhaust ones, or are they all the same and does that just vary of where they are placed ?

I read this on a review site "The 200mm fan here has the following specification 600~800rpm, 13~15dBA and is set up as an exhaust." so does that mean i have to set them up myself ?


Also, in my current case there is no room for any side fans due to that Xigmatek Aegir CPU cooler :

Do you recon that i the new case i'll have room for a side fan like this (200x200x25mm) :

Looking at these sideviews from internet pictures i think there is room as the cooler seems to be higher in this case, though i'd like a second opinion on that before i order it:
