Found these 3 cases, all mesh front. Very similar. Planning to run C2D and scythe infinity, 2 hdd, 1 optical. Nothing crazy. Don't need or particularly want UV/Window/super bright leds etc. Would like a 12cm quiet exuast fan

- At little more then I want to spend on just a case, but it is all AL. Like the top usb ports, and comes with a 12cm exaust fan (although I have no idea if its a good fan or not)

- Kinda like the square/flat look. Dislike side mounted USB.... Its cheap though.

- Like the top mounted power and usb. Like the fact someone said the leds were dim (I don't need a nightlight anymore!). Its on newegg sale right now for $44.95 from msrp of $75. Not sure if I like the aluminium columns or not.

Don't know if anyone has or had these cases and could say of thier experience or not.

Thanks!
 
i would pick the top one that one seems like a very nice case, it does have the window
 
I have the 532 and it is one nice case for the money the toolless design is great compared to the Antec SLK3000B which is 1 1/2 inch taller and 1 inch wider I just put together check it out it is a good deal also both cases smudge easily cooling is good. New egg has the Antec
 
Of the three you mentioned, i would say the cooler master. They generaly offer quality cases, and that one looks very nice. However I would personaly recomend the antec p180

Just read the reviews. Allthough it is a bit more expensive than the ones you posted, it is amazingly quiet, sturdy, and efficient at cooling your parts all at the same time. Also in my opinion, it is one of the coolest looking cases you can get.

I suggest the Coolermaster. I have the older version of that case, and it's perfect in almost every way, though it's a bit cramped and wire management is a bit hard. Still, for the money you can't beat it. I especially like the tool-less features, I'm in my case all the time and it's incredibly easy to swap out parts whenever I need to. The only thing you'll need to use screws for are the mobo, PSU, and video card(possibly the drive rails, I'm not sure about it).
