Hi all, I'm looking for a case for my new build. Please gimme some suggestions, especially if you own the case yourself :D

COOLERMASTER Mystique 632 Silver
LIAN Li Classical Plus PC-60B plus II Black Mid-Tower Case( with window)
NZXT Hush


I'm looking for a mid-tower case that's big enough to fit a 9800X2 but also quiet. But alot of the Lian li cases are too old fashioned for me, which is why I considered the one with the window as an option, and I'll add LED lights. Which one would be my best choice? Thanks.
 
+1 to what Zero82z said, RC-690 approx $70-80 all over the place and the recently put out 590 centurion is around $10 cheaper depending on where, damn good "budget" cases. The 590 doesn't have a reset switch, I prefer to have one so I'm going CM RC-690.
 
Just got the CM RC-690, and I must say it's a great case for the money. No screws, well ventilated and even SLI certified for $75.

Thnx for the pic, good to see how the GX2 looks setup in the 690, cables seem a lil messy, but if you're fine with how they are then so be it, my current rig(sig rig not built for another week) is a lil messy but temps are good.
 
I'm not a cable guy, no pun intended. I change rigs around so much that as long as it's stable, I'm happy. For the more cable anal types, this case should work pretty well however.
 
didn't he say he wanted a window?

to the OP: you might consider a silverstone with a window, such as the TJ09 or TJ07, you could even watercool your parts to lessen the noise, especailly since danger den's 9800GX2 blocks have jsut come out...
 
There's a place in my heart for the Lian-Li 60B, classic style, but....a little cramped when you start adding in large graphics cards. An 8800 GTX barely fits when the HDD are installed.

The CoolerMaster is a great case for the money. I have a Stacker 830 and it's a great case.
 
I have the cm 690 and love it. Lots of room, Great airflow, sleek design.

+1 for cm690
 
thanks for the suggestions. I considered the cm690, but the design isn't for me, which is why I'm wondering how the mystique compares to it.
my concern with the 60B is about its noise, i heard the fans are quite loud and 9800x2 may not fit.
 
thats one huge psu. i have a question, how does your GX2 not sag?? i have a 3870 and it sags down so much i use some fishing wire to tire it up to my geminII to keep it level.
