Which Case would be better???

WiryRocketeer · 17 Mar 2010 at 21:33

I personally do not mind which case but think i could maybe save some money so which case would be better for the following:

AMD Phenom 550 Black Edition Unlocked to Quad-Core,
HIS ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card,
Asus M4A89GTD Pro AMD 890GX (Socket AM3) DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard,
OCZ StealthXStream 500W Silent SLI/Crossfire Ready ATX2.2 Power Supply,
G.Skill ECO OC 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit,

And the two cases I am stuck upon are

Xigmatek Asgard Mid-Tower Case - Black

or the

Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - Black

:confused:

Don't suppose it matters. I'd probably go with the Antec out of brand loyalty.

i just did a build in one of these and for the price it's a good case which i would use again over either of the two you have suggested - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-155-CM&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=29

I would go for the 300, potential for future upgrades with the fans.

antec 300. the other is very cheaply made and it shows.

DisrupTor75 · 18 Mar 2010 at 00:57

Yep, the 300 is the one of choice, just been looking at the pics of the Asgard and have to say it's horrible

300, the other one looks terrible

Neither - Akasa Freedom Xone.

Built better, looks better, more space, internally painted and proper cable management.

Crappy internal phone pic of a build I did for a friend a while ago.

Much preffered this case to the 300's Ive used.

I prefer the look of the Antec 300 but the one thing that's great about that Akasa freedom xone is the heatsink backplate meaning you can upgrade your CPU/Cooler without having to take the system board out.
