I'm Indonesian, but I go to school in New York. I need to take everything back to Indonesia once I finish my senior year. I'm planning to build my first PC. The form factor will be m-ITX (so it'll be easy to bring back to Indonesia). I know which components to pick, but I'm still not sure about which case to choose. I'm confused between the Cooler Master Elite 130 and the Thermaltake Core V1 (both of these case are not too expensive and I've heard great things about them).
Both cases looks good. The Elite 130 have a longer footprint but has a lower profile. The V1 is have a smaller footprint but a higher profile (the case is "dual chamber" like the Bitfenix Prodigy). Both can support all the hardware I want (even though the Elite 130 can support longer GPUs than the V1 can). The Core V1 has a window, which is a good feature, but I don't really care.
The only thing Core V1 have that is better than the Elite 130 is a place to hide cables, because its "dual chamber" design, I can hide all the cables in the lower section and just for get about it. With the Elite 130 I have to manage the cables carefully so it will not block the air flow going through the case.
I don't know which one have a better build quality. Both of them are in the same price range.
Please help choose. Tell me why one is better than the other. Any answer will be appreciated.
Thanks!
