which one of these cases will i benefit from ???

[beasty6]

hey guys,

im sill in need of some info on both cases and need some advice in which will be the best for my needs and for the components i am going to be using in the build

first case is a midi case

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-196-CM&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=29

second is a full case

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-203-CM

now im not looking to be getting a new case for 4-5 years and will be upgrading throughout the years (thats were i thought a full tower will benifit me)

now the components i am going to be using are the following

CPU Intel i5 760
MOBO MSI P55 GD80
RAM corsair xms3 2x2GB 1600mhz
PSU antec truepower 650w modular
GPU XFX HD 5870 (will be crossfireing these further down the line again the full tower may benifit)
corsair h50 cpu cooler (thinking about the coolit eco a.l.c 240mm rad cooler)
samsung F3 1TB X2
CD/DVD reader

i like to have good cooling and lots or room so the build dose not look cramped and messy

is the HAF X worth the extra dosh over the cm 690 II adv ???

If you're planning to keep the case for 4-5 years you might as well spend the extra cash and get the HAF X

It's a brilliant case. You won't regret it.

Better cooling, larger interior, more features. HAF X is just a overall higher end case.
Don't get me wrong, CM 690 II is great too but if I were to decide between the two it would be the HAF X no contest!
