Coolermaster praetorian question

[ExcaliburFX]

Hi, this is my first post.

I'm kinda new to this. i used to buy ready made pc's but recently found out they are not value for the money you pay for crap components inside and they modigy in such a way that its very hard to upgrade.

i'm going to make a new system with black looks. and was searching for a nice alumium case, found 2. one is antec sonata and the other is coolermaster praetorian. i'm leaning towards praetorian as its inside is aluminum and looks awesome. did anyone try out this case and give me a feedback? is it silent with those 4 fans? is it good at cooling? i searched the net for reviews of it found none amazingly. if someone give me a feedback on the case it would be really appreciated. and what do you guys think of the tagan 480w psu unit? it looks awesome to match the case.

Welcome to AnandTech. I haven't tried any of those cases you mention, but there are a lot of people here who have experience with the Sonata. Do a search of the forums and you will find what you're looking for. I do have the Antec SLK3700AMB however, and from what I gather, taking the front bezel off for cleaning is a bit of a problem with Antec cases (all cases..I don't know), but just thought I'd let you know. And yes, do a LOT of research before you order/buy (I know it's hard to contain the excitement but you don't wanna feel sorry afterwards). Good Luck!
