Which of these cases would you take?

[lunchbeast]

Building a new midrange gaming box, looking at cases. Between the Cooler Master HAF 922, Corsair Carbide 500R, and Corsair 600T, which would you take? I go back and forth on the HAF 922...no USB 3 ports, a little overstated for my preferences, but Newegg has a screaming deal through 3/21 for $69.99 with rebates and all.

Thanks,

How about the CM Storm Series Trooper?

I would settle for a 600T if I was limited to that list.

600T from them otherwise there are great alternatives-
nzxt phantom,DF-85,Thor V2,932 advanced,in win dragon rider,storm trooper,raven rvo3b,hurricane 2000,TT chaser MK-I,and more.search everyone and pick up the one that suits you best!

The 600T is one of the best cases available at any price: good cooling, good cable management, spaceous, virtually toolless, well finished (no rough edges and good paint job) and moddable to any use. There are others that rival and maybe best it, but none at the same price.

if you want usb3.0

you can simply get a 5.25" or 3.25" drive that slots in front of case that allows you to connect usb3.0 ports to your motherboard (be carefull some like the icy box actually have to go through your case and out back and plug into pc outside)


and if your board doesnt have usb 3.0 then you can buy a pci add in card to add them

one of the corsairs without a doubt, carbide for air cooling 600t for liquid

 

[lunchbeast]

Thanks everybody - good answers all around. I think I'm going with the 600T.

 

[hellfire24]

great choice.

go with corsair imo. coolermaster customer support alone is a huge negative for them. it's a shame. i love the design of some of cm's cases, but their poor customer support, and gaudy aesthetics definitely is pushing me to go with corsair for my next case. i definitely have my eye on 650d, i say 600t looks great go for it.

Might be late but a mid-tower version of the ThermalTake Level 10 GT case just came out, bought one for myself. Great airflow, filtered fan grills everywhere, amazing cable management, easy to work with, 2 USB 3.0s and 2 2.0s. Only problem is that pieces of it are kind of cheaply made.

Lol it's all preference. I like the NZXT Phantom, as opposed to a lot of people on this forum who hate it .

 

[hellfire24]

^i was just kidding,anyways phantom is one of my favorite case!

Bitfenix do some good cases, and I think all of them have front USB 3.0.
I'm buying the bitfenix colossus soon
