Which Case, choice of 2

[wrayvon]

I have been looking at the Coolermaster Centurion 590 and the CM-690 Dominator. Both are very similar, I prefer the looks of the 690, but I'm wondering if the 590 is a cooler case.

Which do you recommend?

Cheers

Tbh I never had any cooling issues when I was using my 690, with the Q6600 clocked to 3.2... and the 690 definately looks a lot better. To me the 590 just looks cheap.

antec 300.

if you like colours and lights etc, which it looks like you do, just get some LED fans to go in the front of it.

best case in that price range imo.

edit: if you were content on buying one of those too, id get the 690 for sure.

How does it look like I like colours and lights? The 690 has no colours apart from the one led fan at the front (which I would most likely replace).

The reason I prefer the 690 over the antec 300 is the tool free installation, and it has more cooling options in the form of fans. It can hold more than the 300.

It looks like it as both the cases you chose had LED fans, i wasnt having a go if thats what it looked like.

From my experience, no toolless designs work better, or take less time than scews but ive never used the ones in the 690, so i wouldnt know for sure.

anyway in your position, id get the 300, but the 690 looks like a good case also, having jus done abit of research.

Oh, sorry, in a bit of a grumpy mood tonight! Sorry! Cheers for the input. Has anyone used the 690 clip things? Worth the extra money for?
