QUOTE(Economics Crisis @ Nov 14 2011, 12:43 PM) silencio 550 looks good thou but i personally dont like the exterior look.. its up to u bro.. everyone have their own preference  i like the exterior...the only downside i saw at silencio is lack of window side panel...well,yea i know..they sacrifice it for the sake of silent computing.

Can sifu help me decide between one of the following?
CM Elite 430 Thermaltake v3
I believe both the above are on the same price. Was thinking alot about Corsair CC400R due to great reviews but end up with them due to cost-driven...
P/S: Plan to get a MSI P67A-C45 B3 with i5 2500K and GTX560 TI, want to try some light OC in future =)

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Nov 11 2011, 01:50 PM) If its air cooling, I'd recommend the RV02 over the 600T  if possible, be sure u get the RV02-E... they changed the HDD cage and sports newer AP181 fans at the bottom which improves the overall cooling capabilities of the RV02  thanks  QUOTE(renishi @ Nov 11 2011, 05:55 PM) since the new gpu will not arrive that early why not wait for bitfenix raider or even enermax fulmo but if u want now rv02 is ur best bet okie...i think i will hold on then...btw what the heck is bitfenix???malaysia got sell this rare name products ka

Assuming ur budget is RM190...maybe u wanna try the Thermaltake Soprano Rs101??  or maybe the Dokker??

Since you going to oc, i would highly suggest you get a larger casing like Corsair Carbide 400R or Cooler Master 690-II.

^ I'm gonna have to agree with CyntrixTech on that one front looks are too agressive for my taste as well.. plus it looks like its gonna be harder to clean/wipe the dust off every corner
