Choosing between cooler master 311 elite , 431 plus and thermaltake commander msi 2.0

May I know their advantages and disadvantages

From what I understand : 311 elite - moreusb slots , 3.0 , bad air flow

431 plus : 3.0 better looking

Commander : best look, no 3.0 , better air flow

Hyper212+ Height about 160mm, standard fan height 25mm, 15mm for clearance = At least the width case must 200mm IMHO.

Why don't you take THERMALTAKE COMMANDER / USB3.0 @ RM175 from lingloong? Xigmatek Asgard Pro window RM159 come with USB3.0.

Asgard look too plain boring ... So my best choice is commander 3.0?

I've got a question. In the site it says it has 2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 but in reviews on websites and YouTube it says it has 4x USB 2.0 ...

Care to explain? Really like this casing...

Guys, need suggestion here sad.gif

Should I go for Strike x One advance with 4 extra fans (all together 6 fans) or should I go for CM 690 II Advanced or 400R?
*Both CM690II and 400R won't be installing extra fans though, out of budget (RM<300) sweat.gif

But then would it burn the gtx 670 and i5 IB processor?

Seriously need recommendation, thanks in advance!
*
If you like 690 II advance or 400R more then go for it. They already come with fans which are good enough ( note they have better airflow than strike X ) so if you're not overclocking or anything , it will be just fine IMO . You can always add fans in the future should you need them wink.gif

if you can afford the prodigy then might as well you go for the 400R, much better than the 300R IMHO and yes.. shrinking the PC is not very easy and costly tongue.gif
*
I'm actually interested in 300R/400R but well graphic card took my almost 1/3 or 1/4 of my budget so I'm wondering, if I get a cheapo case right now, is it tedious to move my hardwares into a new case?

If not, what's the best case below rm150 ?

I'm currently interested in BitFenix Merc Alpha but the fact that it doesn't have air ventilation holes at the front panel really bothers me . I plan to run my pc 24/7.

Thanks for both of your replies. I'll be going for air cooling ATM. Size doesn't really matter as my components aren't that big.

I dont really like the NZXT Phantom 410's glossy look, its not my kind of liking.

The cases I have consider so far
-Bitfenix Shinobi Window ( Overall very nice case , the only thing that bothers me is it's side window, it's a bit ugly to me)
-Corsair 300R Window
-Corsair 500R
