TT v4 i dont know got how many fan, but Elite 430 come with only 1 fan. U should consider that also unless u already have fans to fill them in.

they have the same layout, but 430 i know dont have enough space at the back mobo to hide your cables. i hid the cables behind the hdd rack

Get modular psu for better cable management...

so far i have done 3 CM Elite 430 including mine for cable management...no problem...just cable psu bit though especially ATX 24 pin laugh.gif

The scout is kinda old so if you're looking for a front panel USB3.0 u will have to settle for an additional front panel later on.. the carbide 300R is the newest lil brother of the carbide series complete with USB3.0 at the front... but it has yet to come out with a windowed version..

IMHO both designs are great for the compact mid tower and in contrast with what you stated against the quality of the 300R, online reviews has it checked as good quality on par with its older brothers.

careful.. thats a bundle price... only available at that price when you buy something together with it.. normally a PSU... on a side note, full towers cost anything between RM400 to RM1500 depending on the brand & model

cheapest full tower chassis should be the old HAF932... though I rarely see them on the shelves anymore

Found Aerocool Xpredator full tower just around RM419. I think design similiar like Cooler master Trooper with cheaper price.. laugh.gif
