Replacing a Chieftec Dragon

[mhokett]

i'm looking at replacing my old Chieftec Dragon case and could use some recomendations. I would like to have at least as much room asI currently have and better cooling since this only has the 4 -80mm fans. I would love to find one that either has a quick release side panel like mine does or one that my side panel will fit on as this was one of the best features of the case and doesn't seem to be common anymore. I would like to keep it under $100. $40-$50 would be ideal, i realize this may not be possible.

Haf 912 or cm storm scout!

Any chance my side panel would fit either of these?

I was also looking at the rosewill challenger also. Any thoughts a comparison of it vs these two?

Is the quick release side panel just a thing of the past now? It was such a nice feature for easy access without having to completely take the case out from under the desk.

The only case that i can think of is the Corsair 600t, but that costs 160

yikes, that's quiet a bit. If only my dragon could hold 120mm fans and had usb 2.0

I mean you could just take a few more seconds to unscrew the side panel with your hands

OK,OK, I'm too focused on one small thing. I'll probably go with the haf 912, but man that 600t is really nice case if I $$ to burn..
