Hi guys,

Im thinking of changing my pc to mitx size. Below ar my specs:

Intel Xeon E3 1230 v2
ASROCK H87 Pro4
Kingston Value RAM 8GB
Sapphire R9 270
WD 500Gb HDD x 2
FSP HEXA 500w

I already bought gigabyte h87n-wifi mini-itx and now looking for mitx case. Im thinking of Cooler Master Elite 130 OR Thermaltake Core V1. Any opinion about these case? or do you guys have anything else in mind? My budget is around RM200. Thanks.

at that budget, I think you have chosen the best chassis around wink.gif I don't remember anything else that will let you keep your budget.

Between the two, I'd go for the Elite 130 for the 5.25" external bay, maybe not for an ODD but there are a few things that you could place there in the future wink.gif

Thank you for your feedback. i was thinking Elite 130 also but most of the review that i read are concern about airflow and high temperature inside the case. Since im planning to use stock heat sink for processor so hopefully its not as bad as people said.
