Which case?

[Scotty123]

I'm looking to buy a new case that's quiet and looks 'sleek'. My current case is old, chunky (and a bit on the big side) and inadequate for cooling needs (i5 at 4.6ghz on air). Sure I could add some fans, sort the wiring out but meh I'd like a new case .

Some possibilities are:-

Fractal Design Define R3 Midi Tower Case

People seem to rate that one highly.

Corsair Obsidian 550D Quiet Midi Tower Case

Maybe the NZXT H2 Classic Silent Midi Tower Case

How do these cases compare? Any other suitable recommendations? Thank you

What about the fans that come with it? Is it worth swapping them for quieter (and possibly better!) fans?

And why not the H2?

Your corsair case looks nice although it's a bit big!

Okay thank you. I'll think about the 550D and R3 then .
