for that u get the quality and full aluminium...

but if u are on a budget build.. that the cm690 is superb for it function.

Yea i did, but price is a problem. I manage to pay the most is RM800.

most mid tower casing should be enought... unless u wan to watercooling or plan to use as server...
lian li do have some budget aluminium case at mid tower... should be nice

Full tower only got 1 more function? That is big enuf for water cooling only? How bout the air flow? N how bout if i use a Mid tower n compare with a tower, does their temp the same "if they are using same fans"

the air flow for full tower is good to compared with mid tower.but, how many fans running inside the rig also can determine

the airflow ventilation of ur case..i prefer full tower for the reason of the superior roomy

and got a lot of stuff to put inside the case..and cable mgt is easy to handle.. (normally depends ur skills tho)

unless u using the size of a sff, the tempreture will not differ that much... a well design mid tower can compare with full tower with no problem.

ya, the roomy reasons come to play. but i do prefer mid tower compare to full tower, just my opinion.

U prefer mid tower more than full tower sure got something inside of u, do u mind to share some with all of us? Coz i m changing my old case soon.

maybe i sort of wired... but i prefer something that all cramp inside a box...
if i get a full tower than leter see it inside empty... just not feel right ...

I get what u mean. I will back to consider when i wanna buy. Now waiting for new Lian Li to arrive ATE, this is what the ATE crew had told me.

which lian li model?

Erm not sure, the only told me that they will got new arrival for Lian Li

i think is the lian li v351 and some new mid tower coming

for mid tower shud be the PC-K60, which lian li show case at cebit 2009

Wuuuu, I smells new ah lian.

anybd thought of using Gigabyte case? my fav is d 3DAurora570, full aluminium, can support liquid cooling

I will say no to Gigabyte case coz it is so outdated which i can say is they still use to install the PSU on the top. Which i feel this is kind of outdated.

for budget round RM800,
if want a allu full tower, i think cooler master is around that budget.
if opt for allu mid tower, silverstone and ah lian are recommended.

for normal ATX cases id still MUCH prefer having the PSU on top...

the heat issue is actually not an issue...PSUs are designed to handle heat...especially the good ones. the heat from the case barely affects the PSU.


one of the main reasons for putting PSU at the bottom would be for case stability....wont topple over as easily as a PSU on top....but ur cable management and wat not gonna be like shit with PSU at the bottom unless u have inverted ATX like the V Series.

Okie guys, thks for those usefull info anyway. These are the models i might want to buy.

-PC-A71
-PC-A77
-PC-A7010
-PC-A7110
-PC-V2110
Or mayb a mid tower armorsuit PC-P60

From above which 1 got better air flow n nice to go? N their price?

about the full tower, maybe u shuld choose the cheapest. pm karom and see...
a77 will be cooler as the front is vented.

as always, the more vent, the more noise and dust.

about air flow, p60 will win coz there are option to install 3x120mm fan in front.

and i like p60 alot too.
