Which case should I choose? (cooling/looks)

[alyshira]

I want a PC that has the best combination of looks and cooling potential..

if you were me, which of the options below would you choose? (or if you really feel like it, a case I didn't list... but the cheaper the better!)

I like the thermaltake, and lemme tell you...if ur case is on the floor under the desk, you will LOVE the controls/ports on the top !

Oops, I forgot one more...

CoolerMaster RC 690

Thanks!

 

[alyshira]

to royalcrown: thanks for the reply... yeah, the thermaltake looks a lot like the coolermaster RC90 but it's cheaper XD

Is the airflow just as good though? Do you know what temperature your system is when idle?

 

[lucifer_morningstar]

CoolerMaster 690 without a doubt

 

[royalcrown]

The airflow rocked, my system was 31 c idle and 38 c at load using core and speedfan and 2 120 mm fans 1 front/ and the rear fan ! you can literally feel the draw top to bottom on the CM 532, and the other centurions are almost the same case, just cosmetics !

cm 690 got good cooling, all plug In's on the top ,price is right ,in less you like windows and Fancy stuff

 

[fleakiller]

WOW i wish i knew how to spell

Also a case is like a car it is what you like,one that does the job good or one that looks good your choice!

Sorry, but no serious case discussion is worth it's weight in salt if it doesn't include the Asus Vento
