The Thermaltake, while a nice case, and much better quality, will be harder to build in, since its a LAN Box, the NZXT is a Midi Tower, providing more space.

the thermaltake dose not come with a powere supply, but it will handle full power supplys.

matt is not kidding. there is little to no room to work inside the thermaltake every thing is very tight fitting.

i personaly thing the nxzt is a better quality case eaven if it is bigger than the thermaltake

tmandt · « **Reply #4 on:** September 21, 2008, 01:40:25 PM »

yea dutch i already payed off my school fee's so now i have soem extra money. so i decided to upgrade my comp stuff. i really like the nzxt alot. its just like the antec 900. and i also need to fix my mic probg too. iono why it wont work currently on my pc case or mobo. the 2 jacks. so i think ima buy a usb headset and try. the logitech clear chat pro.

Get the Antec 900, its much better, and quite a cheap case.

Tec_ · « **Reply #6 on:** September 24, 2008, 02:08:27 PM »

its a nice case, but its huge!

u think T is trying to go for a smaller case.

T if you havent seen them yet take a look at the lian li V-350 (or the lian li V-300 may or may not be in stock) they have them over at xoxide.com

there amazing i have one

(edit)
i had a chance to check out the thermaltake in person today that thing is built like a freaking rock.

thanks tec. i love the 300 but it looks to small to fit everything in there. and plus idk if my 12 inch cathodes will fit

Tec_ · « **Reply #8 on:** September 24, 2008, 05:21:51 PM »

they will. only issue you would run in to is you might have to notch out the 3.5 bay to fit a larger graphics card.

im in the process of jaming 2 cards (in crosfire) and liquid cooling in to the one i have.

i have one as well, dont get me wrong i love it. but compared to the first two cases T posted its a feaking monster. plus every one and ther mother has it so there is no originality to it any more

MattZani · « **Reply #12 on:** September 25, 2008, 01:56:36 AM »

Antec 300? Basically the same, but smaller.

tmandt · « **Reply #13 on:** September 25, 2008, 04:36:33 AM »

i like the price of the 300 but how am i gonna show off my cathodes?

Tec_ · « **Reply #14 on:** September 25, 2008, 09:34:35 AM »

the antec p 300 is ment to be a silent case so if you want quiet its a good case

tmandt · « **Reply #15 on:** September 25, 2008, 12:50:58 PM »

that looks like a pretty decent case, looks pretty sturdy

im not a fan of Rosewill cases. nothing against them im just not a fan. that and i dont like cases with doors. but if i did get that case the first thing i would do would be if i got that case would be to spray the insides black.

take a look at the NXT Rogue costs more but is such a bomb case

if you feal that you NEED a window there is always the option to cut your own.

tmandt · « **Reply #18 on:** September 25, 2008, 03:44:17 PM »

yea i hate doors but i just need something with no doors and usb ports in the front. those are my main concerns. i need all the usb ports i can get. and i cant cut out my self cause i dont have the tools and skills. well i want to go with the antec 300 but i want a window. i want to get the 900 but 100 for a case. i want to get all clear case but the power buttons are

.

idk what to do. plz help you guys. i dont want to spend over 100

Tec_ · « **Reply #19 on:** September 25, 2008, 11:27:31 PM »

well you could buy the 300 and send me the door to cut a window for you. (i would only charge you shiping bolth directions and for the plexi/acrylic

the 900 is worth it but its a BIG case, no ware near a stacker, but still big.

as for a clear case, buy one and get new buttons.
new button
