Hi, guys, can anyone recommend me a good casing that can fit a hd6990 with a good airflow and cable management? budget would be rm 600 for starter and wont mind increasing it if worthwhile smile.gif

your budget is high and u can choose from so many casing like corsair 600t and haf-x but just missed the cheapest tj07 ever sold few days ago hahaha

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

cable management wud be about the same for both casings except elite will look much better. but for cooling i think more on v3 although i dont like the way the hdd rack being mounted.

CM Elite 311 have better cable management, because it has hole for cable route to side panel.
*
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.
*
thats what i said. 311 will look nicer. and there is a hole in tt v3 just above the psu

Hi..Wanna "ganti" my HAF 932...any recommend for me?

1) Good cable management
2) Toolless 'clip' for HDD bay / SSD bay
3) USB 3.0 I/O Panel
4) Toolfree for HDD rack
5) full alu more better~
*
1st of all u need to state your budget. and full alu casing is not cheap

For rm300, what's the best bang for buck casing?

In consideration ;
1) Cm 690 II Advanced
2) Corsair Carbide 400r

Help me decide or suggest me other casing as well smile.gif
Must have good cable management with grommets.
Fan filters, USB 3.0 not compulsory
Full black interior, simple and sleek design not futuristic type blush.gif
*
400r looks good with the rubber grommet. personally i dont really like the panels bulging out. and make sure your mobo has clearance for sata connection

Yes bro iaknesnah,  i dont like the bulging out panels also. Other factors seems so perfect for it. Maybe buy and mod it later, cut it off the bulging panel tongue.gif
