Torn between these cases, help me decide! (please)

[Phith]

Hey!

I am upgrading my computer piece by piece, to a whole new computer. It's time for the case.

I have a budget of $110~ AUD for the case. I have narrowed my search down to these cases:

1. NZXT S340 Mid Tower Case

2. NZXT Source 530 Case

3. Inwin Gr-One Full Tower Dark Grey (I'd get the black version but they are out of stock)

4. Corsair Carbide 300R

The S340 is so sexy, the 530 is so practical and the GR-ONE is so... cool.

Please help me decide which case is the best or suggest a different case within my budget.

Things to note; Color scheme goal: black & red (+white led strips on the way), I am getting a semi-modular PSU, I have a Sabertooth Z77, I use 2 rather large GPUs (970 SSC & 650ti DCU2) and I have an external DVD drive so the no need for external bays, though they'd be nice. I currently have a sharkoon t28 or something.


Thanks if you can help, I can't watch any reviews because I'm on mobile broadband and I hate reading long articles... (I can't read)

I like the 530 but another option could be

Corsair Carbide 300R http://www.umart.com.au/umart1/pro/Products-details.phtml?id=10&id2=210&bid=2&sid=97241&

Oh yea I was looking at that one too. Thanks

Why do you like the 530?

+1 for Corsair, its a quality case

 

[Phith]

Yea I'll probably go for the 300r. BUUUUTTTTT I may break the budget and quit smoking at the same time by going for the 400r... hmm


But their both so ugly.. that s340 is sexy tho, why is this so bloody hard

Ima get the s340

NO! the 530! the s340 it is.


Thanks for the input i ignored guys

 

[Phith]

OK! ima get the H440!

Sorry for this pointless thread :'(

Well the 440 is a great option. If not that I would probably go for the Fractal Design R4 or R5 and then maybe the s 340 the other I don't like.

+1 on the source 340 it's amazingly easy to build with

If you haven't already purchased one, Newegg currently has the GR one in black. I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks.

Yeah they been even making ones that i like although not for full size ATX mobo's like the 240. Most cases are pretty lame and Corsair do some really nice looking one with a solid build but i my self is put off still due to PSU being at the bottom which is the dumbest thing ever and even more so if you ever go water cooling.

I agree but personally i 've never had a problem with the psu being in the bottom even with water cooling. One of my favorite for water cooling is Obsidian 900d
