Nothing much special compared to its the predecessor (E-430) except for 1 Hot Swap HDD bay and a USB 3.0.

Minor price difference compared to the 430. The dock is well worth the premium. A dock bought separately would cost more and require another wire to power it up

Guys, I'm looking for a small, light and cheap casing that can fit a 9" graphics card. Emphasis on the small and cheap. What choices do I have? Was previously looking at a Cooler Master Elite 360 but then I did some research and found out that it cannot fit my Palit 9600GT. Thanks!

What is your budget?? a 9600GT isn't actually a very long GPU... Maybe the elite 343?? the HDD cage can be removed...

Something around that price range would be nice if I remove the HDD cage then where am I supposed to put my HDDs eh? Noob at casings here, sorry anything else you can recommend?

on the 5.25" bay drive of course use the adaptor... unless u have more than 2 HDD then I'm out of ideas for "small & cheap" usually "small but expensive" got la

Any comment on HAF X that is used 4 water cooling?? can it be nice?

nice?? ok laaaa.. water cooling yes u can fit a loop in there. but if not enough u can also put a few more rads outside.

Ohhh, nice. Never did explore cases before what if I was looking at something of a bit higher price range?

Well of the same size, maybe something from Thermaltake A30 or Silverstone Sugo series but they're pricey compared to the CM elites

Wow, so it's either a sub RM100 casing or a above RM300 casing? nothing in between?

Not that I have seen, nope.. unless u wanna go and look at brands that are not so famous like powerlogic or sharkoon then its a different matter... although I don't see it on pricelists as often so its kinda hard to recommend something not well known

Alright then. Thanks for the help

looks like Corsair obsidian 800D is better...Bt...its quite costly

It's meant purely for WC-ing set up , and it's pretty heavy too...

Heavy to the point where it's very dangerous to move alone Some guys can't even move my rig

800D with 2 WCed GCs ... ofc some guys can't move it

^ if u noticed the official site, the weight is not mentioned on the tech specs

The 800D is a great case if u wanna gripe about it then it has to be the materials... IMHO pure aluminium would get the fanboys drooling non-stop but I guess cost comes into mind when doing something like this

i found on some web...its about 16kg....n HAF x is around 14kg....

I have had MANY Lian Li and Silverstone. Aluminum looks and feels nice but extremely hard to maintain. Additionally, their chassis always FLEX because of the light weight material. I'd sold all of them, besides a Silverstone Lascala HTPC casing. I even just sold an A05 and changed to a CM Silencio 550.

I prefer the rigidness of solid steel casing. Not many casing can beat the 800D for water cooling. I could add two more external 480 rads to it
