Which one of these is the best pc case <$170

[shamsmu]

I really like the looks of the NXZT Phantom but apparently it has some issues with air cooling and 3rd party fan support. I need to mount some 3rd party fans for my dual gtx670 cause they dont have much room between them on a asus maximan gene motherboard. SO which one of these cases would be the best? I will use Asus maximas gene, i5 2500k, Asus gtx670 direct cu II Top 2 way Sli and a noctua nh d-14/ Corsair H100/ Coolermaster hyper 612 cpu cooler.

NXZT Phantom- $129

I like the Coolermaster Trooper. It's got understated style, and it's a breeze to work in.

 

[bigcyco1]

I like the Thermaltake Chaser MK-I and the Coolermaster Trooper the best out those

 

[shamsmu]

another case I am looking at is the cooler master 690 II advanced for $110

too plain compared to the other cases, alo not in the same league construction wise with the 170 cases.

I see, now I am leaning more towards the trooper.

My vote goes to the RAVEN!

 

[shamsmu]

getting hard for me to decide. I decided not to get the noctua nh d14 and go for the cooler master hyper 612 to fit my kingston hyper x memory.

case is personal preference.it differs from person to person.some people like HAF X but i don't(personal choice ).
for $170,corsair 650d is *unbeatable* IMO.

here's the reason-
http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/corsair_obsidian_d/6.htm

Pros:
Loads of room
Wire management is made very easy by all the passages
Eight expansion slots to make quad-Crossfire or quad-SLI a possibility
Elegant looks and thoughtful styling
Removable fan filters and all the front I/O you would need
Room at the top for a 2x120 or 2x140 radiator for water cooling
All in a mid tower


Cons:
None

you can also go with watercooling in future,it has enough room-

i hope that was enough to convince you for this mid tower.

if you want something bigger and more roomy than nzxt switch is your best choice-

here's a good review-

here are some pictures to display the potential of this mighty tower-

note: a lot of people here(abekl,moto,muffin and others)who are definitely more experienced than me have also suggested some wonderful cases and i don't mean any offence to anyone .but after all it's your choice.good luck with your choice
