I bought this case on a deal(with a free CM gaming mouse last month):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119194

Now I saw this case and I got a 20% off coupon:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108376

So it'll be roughly the same price! This latter seems bigger, more room for air and upgrades. I also like the style, and it's an In Win Case. What do you guys think? I wouldn't want to return it because then I lose the deal on the free mouse, but I don't want 2 cases more and if the second is better... tell me what you think, thanks!
 
I wanna be honest with you and say that you have a bad taste in computer cases. no offense :)

If you dont mind tell us what are the things you really like in those cases. we can help you find the same features in a better looking / cheaper case

with those range of price in cases you could find a much much better one
 
The reason why I picked the the CM case, was there was a deal on newegg that made the case $110(its $150 now) and a free $70 CM gaming mouse. That was a steal to me.

This is my first build, so I'm looking for room for my 2 Sapphire Toxic 6950's, excellent cable management and airflow, and excellent build quality.

This case has a lot of fans, good airflow, and a nice cut out area under the motherboard, I don't see how in any way this is a bad computer case. It's got all good reviews on any site I go to. Or did you mean the looks?

I guess I'm a sucker for LED lights too ;) and this case has a dial for fan speed controls, and to toggle the lights. Awesome! But I like the style of the In Win a lot more, it looks nicer, and it's bigger for more airflow.
 
Please give me some of your suggestions though, I'm curious to see what can be better than that!
 
Idk much about InWin, but between my brother and me we have alotta CM cases and have been great over the years.....very quiet, good airflow and enough room to hold mods to your liking..including big vid cards. :D
 
Consider the CM 690. It's a non offensive sleek black case. No gaudy window, cable management, removable HDD trays, and a rather affordable price.

I really wish i got it over the antec 300, because i hate this damn case.

Click to expand...

Just use the case you already bought. The In Win case won't be a lot better or bigger, just different. The CM case you bought is a good case and should fit your needs. Plus you probably don't want to eat a return shipping charge for no reason...

If you want a bigger case, look at a Cooler Master HAF-X.
