How about entry level casings like CM Elite 430/421, Bitfenix Merc Alpha, Xingmatek Asgard, Thermaltake V3?  blink.gif

311 plus? no fan at side panel, cheaper, got usb3.0 some more..
the only drawback is it has really bad air flow for OC...

Choosing between cooler master 311 elite , 431 plus and thermaltake commander msi 2.0

May I know their advantages and disadvantages

From what I understand : 311 elite - moreusb slots , 3.0 , bad air flow

431 plus : 3.0 better looking

Commander : best look, no 3.0 , better air flow

Hyper212+ Height about 160mm, standard fan height 25mm, 15mm for clearance = At least the width case must 200mm IMHO.

Why don't you take THERMALTAKE COMMANDER / USB3.0 @ RM175 from lingloong? Xigmatek Asgard Pro window RM159 come with USB3.0.

Not really, Aerocool Strike X One Advance or Aerocool Vs-3 Advance quite okay with internal USB3.0 cable and priced RM139 at cycom.

hi guys,

i'm currently using CM690 black. So i was thinking if its worth to change to a bigger casing like HAF 912 Advanced (or any other recommended casings) coz i'm thinking to change my system. Budget is about 300 +-

or should i just use back my current casing? i find CM690 black cable management bad? or maybe i'm bad in cable management.

Thanks much.

worth it or not is depends on you actually.. IMHO the CM690black is a great chassis but the cable management is not that good compared to the 690II as they lack the CM slots/holes forcing you to tie down the cables near to the HDD cages

Debating what case to buy for my new rig.. I dont wanna spend much on it and if needed I wanna try modding it to my liking.. Any car themed cases out there?

I'm quite a big fan of Lamborghini and if possible plan to make my case a little like one.. First of of course the front must look like it wants to knock you down... Prefer having some sharp parts than rounded... On the top I plan to make something like
with perspek and stuff
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


I try to keep it as general as possible so that I can get more results smile.gif So guys what do you think? What case should I get?
