New Chassis : What should I take

I like the looks of the Aerocool unit but that is completely subjective. Apart from looks, you need to consider airflow (unless you go for water-cooling), space and sturdiness. I have a Raidmax case and the door on the front feels like it's going to drop off at any moment. I'm not suggesting all Raidmax cases are low quality, but it is worth investigating before you buy.

For the amount of space I have and the way I'm planning it out is why these particular ones made it through.

Hmmm. I will certainly have to investigate that; last thing I want is buying a broken product :D
 
TBH we use those exact same aero cool cases for our work pc's and they are kinda flimsy that's why i'm trying to get a resuply hope work bites

In all honesty what are you looking to spend i'm getting myself an Fractal R4 black pearl monday costing me 1104 with three extra silent fans 1409. you can look at the corsair 550d or even the Antec P280 one goes for 1149 and the latter for 1400
 
Then The Joker will be able to sort you out with a very well priced case with something you looking for. If you were in my area I could have helped you out. Both Joker and I deal with the main suppliers out there.

@OP, take a look at the Corsair 300R http://www.rebeltech.co.za/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=29&products_id=3610

Under R700 and has a better build quality than Aerocool.

I'd also say go with the Corsair, good cable management, dust filters and can fit large GPU's. They make good quality stuff.


Personally, I'd avoid Raidmax. I've owned one, and a few of my friends own one because "they looked cool", but most of them end up regretting it 'cause they just feel cheaply made.

The time has finally come for me to upgrade my chassis. After going through a host of options I have compiled a shortlist.

These cases made the final cut. Thoughts?

It seems that nowhere has stock of the Corsair and I would only get it next year [I genuinely cannot wait]

However I can get one of these today. What would you recommend?
