Which case? ?

Hi guys,

I cant make up my mind between these two cases :

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-016-ZA&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=736

I can see quite a big price difference, but is the price difference worth it?

I just want a good quality case with good airflow really. The aesthetics is a nice bonus

At the moment I've got a Lian-Li PC V1000 PLUS Aluminium Midi-Tower

Thanks

I'd keep with what you've got

Not that i have either of those cases but your current Lian-Li is a very nice case and also don't think its worth upgrading.

its a case of choosing "lesser of two evils" with those cases, both are overpriced, though the Zalman at least has good build quality to acount form some of that..... the 830 is just plain overpriced for what it is. Neither have "good" airflow, as the CM just throws fans at the case and hopes it'll do something positive, whereas the Zalman is limited to 2x80mm front fans and a 120mm exhaust.

Look at the TJ-09 or TJ-07 if you want a break from Lian-Li, othewise the PC-A70/71 looks damm sweet, or the smaller PC-A10, and the V2000 is just a bigger badder V1000. Antec P190 might also be up your street if you need the 1200W power, otherwise the smaller P182 is a decent case.

Id keep your Lian-Li, the two you have mentioned are stupidly priced and for that money you cant justify difference you will see.
