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.

-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.

which one is better, in term of cooling n cable management? CM elite 311 plus or thermaltake v3 black edition?

CM Elite 311 have better cable management, because it has hole for cable route to side panel.

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.

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.
