QUOTE(tolaktakjatuh @ Apr 19 2012, 09:07 PM) hi there, I need recommendation for a casing with budget RM150, prefer to stick to the budget so that i can buy some extra 12cm fans. i'm now looking at Bitfenix Merc Alpha coz got lots of usb port at the front  any other suggestion for a good casing? i much prefer with cable management. btw, i'm using the old Hyper 212 cooler, my mobo + cooler is around 170mm height. thanks in advance. Elite 311?? Allows cable management and it fits in 212 cooler without any problem. |

QUOTE(benl40 @ Apr 19 2012, 04:28 AM) Hello, please recommend me a case, my budget is RM500 max this is what I'm looking at 500R/600T - Corsair Trooper/Enforcer/Scout - CM What I generally need is USB 3.0, prefer with LED, see thru side window, this case will be on the floor so I would prefer to have top I/O panel. Please recommend me other case you deem fit in this criteria, any brand =D You also can consider Thermaltake Chaser MK-1.

you want light case, go for lian li. if you carry your rig around i would suggest lian li a04. mATX case, cable management a bit difficult on it tho.

I'm using CM Elite 430 with window panel, not so happy with the quality cos the screw for motherboard provided is loosen. I can't manage to remove my motherboard easily now  But as a RM145 case what should you expect right? so no complain beside that issue |

Maybe my luck was below average that time.
