QUOTE(wansirpunk @ May 2 2011, 02:52 PM) XIGMATEK UTGARD CM STORM SCOUT Between this two, which one is better buy? the price almost the same and i like both of the design... im using xigmatek utgard, just having problem with the hdd rack, quite difficult to take out, and the fans controller panel going damn hot after a while of using, so i refuse to use it, but it can control up to 6 fans in 2 channel. After than this the design is so cool, orange theme, it comes with 3 orange led fans, still luv it.

QUOTE(trisx @ Sep 13 2011, 11:44 AM) -Mid ( small ) not full mid tower -Black interior -Basic cable management ( good is better) -USB 3.0 is possible. -Simple and stylish design Budget around rm150. max is rm200 i think. CM elite 430 sucky cable management? Cooler Master 311 Plus, mid tower, all black design, got a hole to side panel for route cable, comes with 1 USB 3.0 port, and ya, really simple design.

Xigmatek Elysium is extremely large i would say, why not give it a try since there are too many HAF-X user.

QUOTE(iaknesnah @ Oct 5 2011, 02:26 AM) both 311 and tt v3 also got holes if u look closely. only 311 got proper cutout which makes it nicer    Not nicer but easier, Thermaltake V3 is not hole, its a huge space to side panel, but you have to bring all the cables to the front and only to side panel, take a look picture above, CM Elite 311 is much direct and straight because of the side panel hole.

QUOTE(SnoopyDevil @ Nov 15 2011, 08:24 PM) 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 =) Both are the similar, but i personally like CM Elite 430 more due to the large side transparent side panel and front blue led. Since you going to oc, i would highly suggest you get a larger casing like Corsair Carbide 400R or Cooler Master 690-II.
