Issue with the ARK case is it's all 80mm mounts, it'd take some modding to use 120mms.

The Raidmax comes with 5 120mm fans, it's a pretty good deal, and I bet you could mod a 6th 120mm on the case side were the window is funny shaped.

The Rosewill case is a good one to get. It can have 4 120mms and the big 190mm on the side. Plus it looks good, and I'm willing to bet you could mod another 120mm into the 5.25 bays. Plus it's WC ready.

what do you think about this one?

It's interesting, but I'd take the Rosewill case over it. More reviews. Plus it has a top mounted PSU that doesn't look very well supported.

oh yeah thats a nice case.

phanbuey · Apr 19, 2010

if I had to build a bang/buck aircooled rig, that z7 would be on my shortlist. it def has issues... but it can fit massive gfx and massive aircoolers

I tell ya I'm using a 922 right now and I LOVE it. The difference is 20 bucks but the case is worth more IMO. Check mine out for cable management....

if i had 20 extra i would but my budget is limited to 70 bucks

no black interior and no window version (yet), also no special cable management tricks... not really issues, but enough for some people to not buy it.

The outside looks are killer IMO... combine that with some LED fans or CCFL's and you have a killer looking rig...

it also comes with built in fan control... lets you use a wider variety of fans, and lets you run them as fast/slow as you like.

SAVE your money and dont buy a shitty case! how many more times do I have to say it? - none of these cases are good.

Radical_Edward · Apr 19, 2010

A CM 690 is just barely outside your price range, take a look at one.

SniiPE DoGG, not everyone has to own a Lian-Li, there's plenty of decent cases posted in this thread, so cool your jets.

How is the HAF 922 not good? As far as I know it's an excellently solid case with some good features. That Zalman also looks nice. Not everyone wants to spend over $100 on a case, I know I wish I didn't. You don't get any kind of performance increase from a case, but you can with the money you save by getting a "budget" one. That said, I know having a quality case does make things a whole lot easier. Hopefully he'll be able to find quality within his budget if he does decide to get a new one.

TheMailMan78 · Apr 19, 2010

Yeah the HAF 922 cools as well as most top tier cases on the market. Its worth far more than the 99 bucks they ask for it.

adcom32 · Apr 19, 2010

yea i doubt i will ever spend over $100 for a case.

Well I know 70 is your budget but man I am telling you. Look at the 922. You might even be able to find one used.
