i've been looking for a new case for my new computer and i'm not sure which one to get. i've been reading quite a bit and searching for a around $50 bucks case with good airflow and enough space inside but not too big and dumb since i move around every four month.

so right now i've got it down to two cases

COOLER MASTER CAVALIER 3 CAV-T03-UW Silver Computer Case - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119075
and
Antec Solution SLK3000-B Black Computer Case - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129152

which would be the better choice? performance wise. or if there are any other recommendations, please throw it at me, thanks.

sorry this isn't really a modding question but :p it's the closest to a case-related forum
 
Performance-wise I would say the Antec is superior. It has a 120mm front fan mount, CPU air duct, rubber-mount drive cage, and comes with a adjustable 120mm rear fan. The only downside is the boring design.
I have a Coolermaster Centurion 5, which is almost identical to the Cavalier except for the front. The fans that came with it were quite noisy (and didn't have 3-pin connectors) so I've replaced them. Besides that I'm very happy with the case, but I'm strongly considering the SLK3000B for my next build (a near-silent file server).
 
antec it is :D thanks. it's too bad it doesn't come in beige, otherwise i'd save 2 bucks on the different color for benq 1640 :p
