Good day,
I'm having a little problem, I can't decide what casing to pick for my new build. The build contains:
GigaByte GA-P35-DS3L, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, XFX GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB DDR3, Samsung SHS202N/BEBN 20x, Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro (Socket 775), Samsung Spinpoint 750GB and possibly a Cooler Master 520W Realpower Atx 2.91 depending on if the casing I will pick comes with a PSU.
Important to know is that I am trying to get a good casing for a quite low price, since I still have to buy a new monitor and my budget isn't endless. I am from the netherlands, but don't hesitate to link to newegg products or things like that.
Now, I've asked several people and I've got several opinions. A lot of people recommend the quite expensive P182. It's quite hard to get for a low price online, since all the good buys are sold out. I've been told the older P180 is quite good too, but I don't know about that. Might as well get the ~15 euro's more expensive P182.
Now, the other case that has come to my attention, is the CM 590. It looks very cool, except for the fact that it does need some extra fans. Should be doable for that price. When you say 590 you also say 690. I like that one too. Anyone able to give me some pro's and cons?
I would be very happy to get some advice. Feel free to add a new option to the list, as I am open to a lot of things.
