Ny Next Case

So the wife has an older case that's been overheating her hardware (god that sounds funny).

I'm going to be giving her my old Antec Nine Hundred, so I can get a new case with better cable management.

Do you know of a case that you prefer that has cable routing? I'd really like the case to look cleaner inside, and I know cable routing helps that. The Nine Hundred has none, which was horrid for my PSU cables.

I'd like a window, if possible and cable routing. Color isn't a huge issue IMO, but price is. I'm not looking for a $300 Corsair Obsidian 800D (though it'd be nice).

I've been looking through NewEgg and have only found the Cooler Master HAF for $119 that suited my tastes and budget, though that's a big ass case.

Any other suggestions?

NZXT Phantom. Easily one of the best cases around.

Not sure if you can stretch 140 though but doesnt have a window

COOLER MASTER RC-692-KKN2 CM690 II Advanced

you can add a windowed side panel for it for an extra 20

The HAF is probably your best bet given the current sale. Pretty good cable routing in those -- I had a ATCS 840, which is the same thing but in aluminum. There's also a smaller version, the 922, though I don't know what those run.

That NZXT Phantom looks nice! About $20 more than I wanted to spend but that's a great option and probably my best choice so far. Looks better than the CM.

Looking at this one as well... XION Predator, though I've never heard/used them before.

There's a thread here at the [H] if you want some owner commentary on the NZXT Phantom.

Also, here's a link to another [H] peep in search of a new chassis. He's more focused on clean lines type of case and ain't into the gamer/blingywindowed stuff like the Antec 900/Haf, but you might find some good options there. Here's my post from that thread which might help you narrow things down a bit. Definitely look into the youtube video sites I mention, they might really help ya blast through a lot of nice cases in a short period of time.

Silverstone's Raven 2 (rv02) goes on sale every 2-3 months for ~$129-150. Excellent cooling, noise, and cable routing. Main downside is that in stock form it only holds 3 hdds. Luckily, there's newer variants like the rv02-e which holds 5 hdds, the all-white rv02w-e, and the pricier ft02 although that's probably outta your budget.

Corsair 600t can be had for ~$150-160 from most retailers and is pretty sweet for the money with very good cable routing. There's also the upcoming 650d.
