Okay.. so the Praetorian is looking might fine to me right now. I like the looks of it and it looks big enough for what I need (tight fit, maybe).

Here's my question.. am I going to notice a difference in cooling performance when comparing the Praetorian to something like a Silverstone with two 120mm's? Or a Lian Li PC70? Will it be enough of a difference to justify the price tag?

I don't much mind paying more if I'm going to get a worthwhile performance difference as far as cooling. So what do you guys think? I've been reading some of the other threads, but I can't really find anyone comparing the cases like I need.
 
Dual 120's will get you better airflow at a lower volume than 80mms.

Do you have any recommendations for a 120 case then?

Should I maybe consider a CM Stacker? :confused:
 
I would go with the Praetorian because I think it's just one of the most beautiful cases I've seen in a while, especially at that price.

Also, the cooling with 4x80mm fans vs. 2x120mm fans can be the same depending on which ones you install, but you're going to have more noise with the 80mms.

If noise is a factor, go with a case that has 120's. If noise isn't a factor, go with whichever one you think is best looking.
 
Oh man, the decisions! I really like the CM Stacker but the thing is huge... I don't know if I really want something that big. It's going to seem like a waste when I barely fill up any of the drive bays.

The Silverstone TJ05 also looks nice.
