Guys, need a little help here... Undecided between these few cases, which would be a better buy?
1) Cooler Master HAF XM 2) Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced 3) Cooler Master HAF X 4) CM Storm Trooper 5) Corsair C70 6) Corsair 500R My requirements: 1) ~RM500 2) Has side window (mesh/window combo is okay) 3) Easily removable dust filters 4) Roomie insides (full-tower is the best, but larger mid-tower also okay) 5) Cable management 6) Can fit tall air coolers with a height of 160mm, eg. Hyper 212 EVO 7) Water cooling friendly (in case I migrate from air cooling in the future) 8) USB3.0 ports and built-in fan controllers (not a must but nice to have) 9) Silent? I suppose this is a bonus Don't like BitFenix's, Raven's, and Chaser MK-1's looks, so they are excluded... At the moment I'm leaning towards Trooper and HAF 932 Advanced. Thanks!

After experiencing how limited is a budget casing, I know my next casing must have:
1) BIG BIG gap behind for hiding away THICK THICK cables 2) Good ventilation ( minimum 3 fans) 3) What do ya call this? Like for watercooling one. Good for hiding cables 4) And of course Side Window Added on June 20, 2012, 2:16 am QUOTE(Zzorro @ Jun 13 2012, 01:32 AM) hai mate y u want waste ur money to buy rm600 casing.... Mother of God. Look at those fans positioned there better use ur extra money to buy the best hardwere.. the best casing and good for money is XIGMATEK PANTHEON price only rm250 to 280... and this casing better for water cooling...

FT02. We have a project PC based on that and it will be....epic.
RV02 is the budget variant. A budget inverted casing where you can install 240mm radiator, inverted, is: Bitfenix Outlaw ![]() You must use an MATX board in order to install the 240mm rad. |
