I am currently building a new Core 2 Duo system (all the parts have arrived except the motherboard) and I can't decide whether I should buy a nice new case or stick with my current one.
This is the current one I have:
It looks ok IMO (red is cool), but it doesnt really have a brand name and feels flimsy. There is a dent in the side as well. The cooling is ok, with space for 2 80mm's on the back, 1 120mm on the front and an 80mm already installed on the side, but it seems like a very noisy case. I don't think its very well noise insulated at all. It is also quite bulky.
I was looking at either this one:

Or this one:

(BTW the prices are in NZD, so if it seems expensive thats why.)
They are both Icute brand and both look pretty good. One has a HUGE 25cm fan on the side, which would be great for cooling.
So should I stick with my old one and buy some more fans, or buy a whole new case? If so, which case?
