Go with the Antec case the other one looks like something out of "Buck Rogers of the 21st Century".

 

[pt]

i vote antec

 

[Deleted member 24505]

antec,without a doubt.

how can they charge $100 for the other pos?

 

[quasar923]

do u know if i can put in a side 120mm fan in the side vent of the antec case?

 

[Taz100420]

I love the X-Clio. but thats me

 

[quasar923]

if i can put a side fan on the antec case ill go with that bc i like the top 200 mm fan and the front 2x120 mm fans are about equal to the one 250mm front fan on the xclio. the only thing i would loose is the direct air onto the mobo which i like allot. is there a way i could put more than a 120 mm fan on the side of the antec case?

 

[Taz100420]

maybe by drilling on the window?

 

[quasar923]

well i prolly wont wanna do that do u know of any cases that have extreamily good cooling for around $100-$150? besides these two cases

 

[i_am_mustang_man]

i vote antec cuz:

vs

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowI...ck Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

the openness of the antec makes it easier to look good. plus antec has better track record.


with looks included, antec all the way (but that's my aesthetic preference)

I dont think its a well known case but HUGE fans!

heres a case with 2 25cm side fans but no front or top and just a rear

Click the manufactures info tab at newegg. Antec says that case comes with a swap out side panel with a 120MM fan mount.

 

[JUDAS3]

get the second one - the cooling fans on the antec are very noisy.

 

[Protius]

900 ftw

 

[Completely Bonkers]

The X-CLIO, definitely.

P.S. Can you still modify your OP to add a vote?

 

[chuck216]

Go for the Antec, The other one looks useless when it comes to having more than 2 or 3 hard drives, the Antec still has usable 3.5" bays in the lower half.

I'd actually consider getting this case myself if my current one wasn't so good. Maybe when I upgrade to an AM2 system I'll get this case.

 

[quasar923]

what about this http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811133021

i like this case alot even tho its 170 i like it.

 

[Chewy]

you should try the GIGABYTE 3D Aurora 570 silver or black. its a very special case!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811233013 black is on sale silver is even cheaper.

 

[quasar923]

does it have really good cooling im looking for a case with extream cooling and a side window i like that on the aurora can u put in a side fan in the vent of that?

 

[Chewy]

I think it has very good cooling put in a nice quiet high cfm 120mm fan in the front , it has 2x120mm on the back (I think that is all).. but that should cool very nice you could always add another 120mm to the hd cage or somthing with ties to blow on your cards.

For the side you can use the mesh type thing or a window, it comes with both. I found this case to be top quality (as did other people), it should last longer.
also side fans cause alot of noise.. I wanted this case but it wasent out in Canada when I bought my computer.. now I use the Nexa by Lexa its a fairly loud case for me anyway.

Yeah just use a volt modded (7v) 120mm fan and tie it to your hd cage, at that volt you wont get any rattling and it will be hidden by the side door too! make sure you attach the 4 corners so if you move your case it cant bump into anything.

for medium extreme cooling get something like the aerocool aeroengine2 or extreme engine t3
both have a lot of fans

 

[quasar923]

i like the extream engine is that better than the thermaltake on i posted above

 

[JdPower]

Get the antec nine hundred! I have this case and LOVE IT! Keeps everything very cool. I have all "optional" 120MM fans, and yes the case has the side window that fits a 120mm fan! It also doesn't require screws it just snaps in! The other optional fan can be mounted in the back of the video card for OPTIMAL cooling.

Get the antec, its worth it!
