I have both a brand new Black Wavemaster and a brand new black Praetorian. I have my system in the Wavemaster case, but I think I am going to switch it over to the Praetorian today. I like the looks of the Wavemaster, but I HATE the door. Plus it opens to the wrong side for my setup. The temperatures should be better in the Praetorian also. Here are the current temps in the Wavemaster case with nothing overclocked except for my video card.:
IDLE
CPU 37C / 98F
MB 28C / 82F
PLAYING UT2004 for about 5 minutes
CPU 41C / 105F
MB 26C / 78F
Right After 3DMark '03
CPU 44C/111F
MB 28C/82F
What do you all think? I wanted to get your opinions before I go to the trouble of switching everything over to the Praetorian case. Any of you not like doors? I swore after years of having my "dragon" case, that I wouldn't ever have a case with a door again. But here I am with another one. Think I coiuld sell the Wavemaster for a descent price? Input please
