Hey Guys,

For my build at Xmas I was considering getting one of the following 3 cases, because I love how they look and I will be on a tight budget, so the are a great price. I was wondering, which one would you choose and WHY?


The BitFenix Merc Alpha:

The BitFenix Outlaw:

Alpha>Beta>Outlaw

Alpha has slightly more cooling options than the Beta

The Outlaw positions the CPU immediately above the PSU, strange is all I can say really
I would have assumed the outlaw would be more different with the cost increase but its pretty much the same as far as I can see, apart form flipping the CPU/expansion slot layout

You may also want to consider the Shinobi, depending on price when you buy, its currently same as the outlaw, I'd recommend this one as it comes with more fans, the only problem with the other 3 is they have minimal numbers of fans actually included, lots of space to put optional ones but few included
 
I'd go for the outlaw. While the PSU is positioned under the CPU it isn't really a problem as the PSU exhausts it's air out of the case anyways.
