you could go for either the Aerocool or Thermaltake since you dislike the Asgard Pro and the CM 430 has bad cable management...

How about the Corsair 400R?

I wanna say Corsair 400r / 500r but they don't have windowed side panel... try the CM Haf-XM or the Corsair C70?? there is also the Cm 690 II Advanced

Agreed, all of the chassis listed is good at that budget.. now up to Mr.Ben to have a look at it himself and compare

Damn... Was looking at this chassis a while back but now pokai already Really liked the brushed alu front

if you're interested on a full tower chassis, the pantheon has my vote compared to the Xpredator, clear window, cleaner looks, hot-swap HDD and more default fans

The Pantheon is selling at about RM290.. for a full tower chassis with front panel USB3.0, I'd say thats a good value buy... of course the asgard is cheaper as its a mid-tower chassis

IMHO, I like the design of the Lian Li, really sleek look with adequate fan filters and sturdy aluminium design

but the Pantheon is what one might be more familiar with as it's another version of the CM690II where you'd have the additional cooling options built into the chassis..

So here is my advice.. if you're having problems with heat and wishes to look at the internals of your PC with extra features, go for the Pantheon

If you're looking to have a nice and simple little subtle monster sitting on your desk or as a home entertainment PC in the living room, I'd go for the Pc-7hx

IMHO the pantheon might be more cooling since it has more meshed surfaces compare to the Lian Li.. looking at your system spec, the heat will mostly come from the Gtx560Ti but not too much to worry about in either chassis... its best that you go to the shops and take a look at both chassis personally before buying.. I could describe all I want about my fav chassis and still the choice will be yours to decide

It is true that all hardware will run within the safe temperatures but IMO with a good chassis, you could lower the temps a bit more and have a much easier time doing so

While 71C is considered a safe load temp to the Gtx560Ti, getting a well-ventilated chassis will probably lower the load temp by 4C to 5C due to the chassis ability to expel the hot air faster compared to the HP-Compaq chassis you're using.. so if you wanna go budget then go for at least the CM Elite 311 plus or better so that you will not regret your decision later

All 3 are good IMO but I'd probably choose the Shinobi cause CM is kinda "Mainstream" nowadays

IMHO don't think dell has any of their chassis painted black on the inside... they rarely come with a window though

I see, nonetheless I'm not ure if oe could buy just the chassis... probably have to email & request from the customer service centre

if you like simple & neat... maybe take a look at the Bitfenix shinobi? should be cheaper than the PC-7HX

Can take a look at the cooler master elite 311 plus, should be good for your budget & cables

That depends on what are you looking for bro I'm in the midst of completing my unboxing and review on the White Shinobi XL window and from what I can see its definitely recommendable just stay tuned to the bitfenix thread in the chassis section or review section... I'll post it there soon

Yups I definitely agree, support for 360mm Rad at the front and top without modding, very roomy interior definitely will recommend the Shinobi XL

Alright bro, here it is
