Case Oppinon

[Hobbit89]

Which case is better for:
1: Air Cooling
2: Water Cooling
3: Lots of Equipment
4: Best Value
5: Better Looking

Aspire X-Cruse- http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811144151
Aspire X-Navigator- http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811144089
Thermaltake XASER: Armor Series- http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811133154

Me and a friiend are having an argument on which is better. I like the Thermaltake and he likes the X-Cruse, and we are kinda split on the Navigator. We both want to build our own computers soon, and would greatly appriciate any comments. Thankes.

Hum..I dunno much about water cooling, so I won't comment there. Probaly either the Navigator or the Thermaltake would be best for air cooling. Lots of equipment goes to the Thermaltake, just 'cause it's huge. Best value would probably also go to the Thermaltake. Best looking is a matter of perspective. I think the Navigator is pretty sexy, but that's just my opinion.

Thermaltake wins of course, its much bigger, roomier, more space for fans (which makes it superior for air cooling) without as many restrictive grills and is has the better build (of course since its a server case) while the x-cruise seems cheap and flimsy

for water cooling, the thermaltake still wins, it has much more room for various radiators and more places to mount while i can only think that radiators can only be mounted on the top of the case or outside in the back if you hav it outside

the thermaltake is obviously the superior case (if you dont mind the size) and costs twice as much so you basically get wat u pay for

 

[..:: KitteN ::..]

The thermaltake is definatley the biggets one with the most space to put EVERYTHING into it, which is what it sounds like you want to do

I am loking to buy either a thermaltake or a coolermaster in the near future, so who ever is biggets wins!! Are coolermasters good for water cooling systems?


Hope you come to a decision soon!!

Get the Thermaltake Armor. It's a beautifull case. You can find them without a window now, then you can mod your own.

Id go with something like THIS instead, and yes some coolermasters are good for water cooling

Alright, thanks for all the replies, i showed it to my friend and he is still sticking with his guns and i with mine, i still like the Termaltake, although the Stacker is pretty good, i think i want the black case (thermaltake) and my friend says he would rather have a good looking case (" I think the Navigator is pretty sexy, but that's just my opinion.") rather than more room, so, NOW its on to the motherboard, but that is for a differant thread. and it might be awilebefore we buy though. Waaaaa................. lol
