690II adv, ftw

Especially the design Nice and clean.

I believe both are good and you can't go wrong with any of them. The CM has more features (like the hot swap HDD bay at top and the ability to install more fans) but it has 7 expansion slots only which can be an issue for some multi-graphics cards setups. The lancool has 8 of them but if you plan to use a floppy drive or a 3.5" card reader then you have to buy a 5.25" to 3.5" adapter.

The Xigmatek Utgard comes with a 5.25" to 3.5" adapter and 2 120 and a 170 fans and room for more. If you pull the 170 fan from the top you can put in 2 140's in place of it and put in a hidden rad. For $59.00 can not better. And the built in 6 fan controler works good. You can get it with a mesh side to add a total of 10 fans big air flow if needed.

so far the votes is
2 for the K62
2 for the CM690 II
1 for the Utgard
0 for the Tempest EVO

im completely leaning towards the tempest EVO, any ideas why i should get the other case?

Dave63 · Jan 4, 2011

The EVO is a nice case but the price was $109.00 and $19.99 shiping, so price came into play for me. If you can get it on sale that would be good. There is good reviews on the EVO and the Utgard here on TPU. Help me a lot to decide. Good luck.

AhokZYashA · Jan 5, 2011

i can get the EVO for the same price as the K62 and the Utgard locally.
so price isnt going to be a problem.
the 690II is cheaper tho..

but i think im going to go for the EVO

Dave63 · Jan 5, 2011

Thats good saves on shipping. I think the EVO would be the one for the price. The only place here is best buy and it is a 50 min. drive and thay do not have much so it is on-line only for me.

Not this. I have it, I would not recommend it for the price, especially if he has the budget for something like a Pantheon or Phantom.

DannibusX · Jan 5, 2011

I vote NZXT Phantom.

NZXT Phantom PHAN-001BK Black Steel / Plastic ATX ...

Dave63 · Jan 5, 2011

He did say that NZXT Phantom was a bit overbudget and then add more fans to get the good air flow. Now please don't get me wrong the NZXT Phantom is a great case if you have the budget for it. The EVO comes full of fans 6 120's i beleave and air flow is very good and the price is right.

I vote inwin ironclad i absolutly love mine, Never known my system to run so cool. the 220mm fan on the side really is a god send keeps everything cooled. isnt loud either and its very spacious, and isnt expensive, and very well built as it weighs alot without the hardware, very solid steel/construction.

depends on your tastes it might not be everyones cup of tea looks wise, But for doing the job well and practicality and cost its one of the best around imo.
