Need help deciding mid tower below rm300. I'm looking at 2 particular ones the corsair carbide 300r and the cm storm scout. What I can tell from online reviews are the corsair look a lot tidier with better cable management even though it is smaller, but quality wise it doesn't feel very sound. The scout I think is a more expensive casing but it's old so the price is actually lower than the 300r and I think it looks hawt with the LED off. biggrin.gif If the 400r was below 300 I'd buy it no hesitations sad.gif

Hi guys, try to survey this casing X-five RTX-C2 ..New arrival with RTX design (Reverse Technology Extended) With 99% air-flow design structure .. good ventilation system

Oh damn, I *LIKE* this case. Saw it just now at lunchtime in LowYat Plaza.

A lot of features for the RM130 asking price - the cable routing holes are a freakin' godsend in this price range. The nearest competitor Cooler Master 431+ sorely lacks this feature despite being around RM30 more expensive, so if you want a tidy casing you're forced to either buy an expensive modular PSU or jam the cable mess behind the drive bays. The mobo mounts on the reverse (left) side of the chassis, so the whole thing is flipped- instead of being located at the top of the chassis, the CPU is now located in the middle where it's unobstructed by the drive bays. So, with the cables all nicely tucked away under the routing holes, you get a clear straight-shot front-to-back airflow across the chassis that really benefits aftermarket CPU coolers. Very unique, very neat!

Other stuff I noticed were: tool-less drive mounts, easy to remove thumb screws for both side panels, USB 3.0 port (via USB cable strangely), bling-bling blue LED fan on the clear perspex side window. Oh... and all the knick-knacks come in a nice velvet drawstring sack, which I thought is a rather pleasant touch.

From what I saw in LowYat, the base that the mobo is mounted on is actually painted glossy red, which nicely contrasts against the black scheme for the rest of the innards, unlike in the pic here. And while there are smart gill-style vents located conveniently at the top of the case, I didn't notice factory installed fans here so you gotta add them yourself.

The ON/OFF & reset buttons feel a bit cheap though, and I'd prefer to have them facing the front than the top. Then again at RM130 I really can't complain, can I?

Definitely buying this for my upcoming build.

Haven't been able to find any official reviews of this casing anywhere on the Internet though.

The scout is kinda old so if you're looking for a front panel USB3.0 u will have to settle for an additional front panel later on.. the carbide 300R is the newest lil brother of the carbide series complete with USB3.0 at the front... but it has yet to come out with a windowed version..

IMHO both designs are great for the compact mid tower and in contrast with what you stated against the quality of the 300R, online reviews has it checked as good quality on par with its older brothers.

careful.. thats a bundle price... only available at that price when you buy something together with it.. normally a PSU... on a side note, full towers cost anything between RM400 to RM1500 depending on the brand & model

cheapest full tower chassis should be the old HAF932... though I rarely see them on the shelves anymore

What about cable management? hmm.gif It seems the 300r seems to be tidier but I wanna know if the scout can manage to be real tidy with a lot of effort and I'm in tongue.gif

IMO,storm scout has a weak cable routing..the 300R got much better n so the 400R which got rubber grommet to hide the cables..regarding the price,u can get RM299 here inside LYN for 400R n RM269 for 300R...

But there's no window to show off,tho tongue.gif
CM 690 II Advance B&W will be good if u r looking for windowed case smile.gif

Yes, something about the rubber leaving black marks when they were routing cables through, but how often do one route cables?? if its too many of a times then I suggest that person to go and get a test bench instead tongue.gif
