Recommendations...Which case would you choose

[gramgram88]

Let me start by saying I am new to the building pc world so all the help i can get would be tremendous

I have found a few cases that are in my budget:

- Logisys CS888-CL
- 939-Series
- 328-4HLW
- Frisby 6905WBS
- Antec 300

Any reviews?? I'm still learning and I do not just want to pick the case that I think has the best look to it. Please help.

Thank you

Among the cases you listed, the Three Hundred offers superior cooling and sophisticated design.

QFT. It's also extremely customizable; you can rearrange 5.25" devices or the 120mm intake fans however you see fit.

The 300 is a decent case. If you need more room the Cooler Master 690 is in your range too.

I suggest you take a look at the Coolermaster 590 and 690. The Antec 900 may also be within your price range. Out of the options you listed the 300 is the best, but there are a lot of other cases within that range that you may prefer.

Lian Li PC7, just a great case for about $100. It PWNs the all the other cases listed.

The 590 and 690 would be better than the 300 in terms of cabling. The 300 doesn't have cutouts, which are quite simply necessary in a bottom-mounted PSU configuration.

Maybe not necessary, but if you don't want your EPS12V cable running on top, then you'll want the 590 at least. You do need a long EPS12V cable though to reach the connector. Corsair's power supplies have sufficient cable length.

I completely agree. I purchased both a 690 and a corsair PSU and I cannot stress enough how nice the 690 is along with the ability to manage the cables of the corsair PSU. I suggest you take a look at both the 590 and 690 from Cooler Master. They both have a lot of room and plently of expandability in terms of cooling.
