Hey all
im stuck in deciding a new case. I have come to 3 cases.

TT Armour 8003
http://thermaltakeusa.com/product/Chassis/fulltower/armor/va8003bws.asp

TT Armour+ 6000
http://thermaltakeusa.com/product/Chassis/fulltower/armorPlus/vh6000bws.asp

And the Antec 1200
http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=12726&page=2

I like the fans on the front of the 8003 and the 1200, but i like the front O/I Panel on the 6000.

ill only have 2 hdd's and 1 or 2 dvd drives, so most of the bays will be waisted, but i need the cooling

Thanks

All huge cases. What are you gona put in it thats running so hot it needs so many fans? Heat = wasted energy.

That looks like its out of star wars.

And I thought the mass-desturction case was over the top.

Have you thought about going with a liquid cooled system?

I never much like any thermaltake cases I've tried. Maybe throw this one into the mix for consideration. This is the best case I've ever owned, the Gigabyte 3D Aurora. Lots of space, and super easy to add parts/upgrade. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Chassis/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=2322

humm mthats always good, but i suppose i dont like the Futuristic looking cases, so i guess its not quite the look im going for.

What i am looking for:
-2 front fans (or there abouts)
-Dont care about weight
-full size (i got a antec lanboy and its to small)
-fan air filters (easy to clean)
-places to put more fans (upgrades)


extras that could be handy
-Mobo tray
-Tool less


Thanks

Lian Li makes sweet cases, very moddable.
cooler master makes good cases too, I have the Cosmos 1000, its freaking enormous (and I modded it a bit this weekend, pics soon )
The armors are nice too, I personally didnt want the precut windows, or front flap things, but still nice looking

when in doubt, go big

yer i dont like the cosmos, i dont think it looks good. The top rail's are silly IMO.

lian li are ok (nice and big) but they dont look good without modding.

This is annoying me because i cant get my new pc until i get the case

Best looking case I ever bought cost me £17. They don't make them any more unfortunately. All cases these days look rubbish imo, they either look like some stupid hardcore gamer thing, or some boring work station case.
