Which Case Should I Get?

[RyBoy]

Hey guys,

Here's what I want to get: A black FULL tower case. Right now I'm leaning towards the thermaltake Armor, because it is black, big, well-built, and not too pricey. However, I've heard somewhere else that they are coming out with a new and improved one, is that true?

Preferably, I'd like something more professional than the armor with no side window like the antec p180, yet being a full tower. I also like the idea of not having the usb/firewire/sound ports on top, somewhere on the front would be much better. Are there any cases like a larger sized p180 that isn't $200+? Any ideas/suggestions would be great.

I hate TT cases. They just rip-off other cases and make them look like crap. Also from my experiences with some the build quality sucks. I think you will really like either the CM Stacker or something from Lian-Li. Both make great quality cases.

Beleive it or not the TT Armor's got the quality. Their cheaper cases? Nope. I'd grab the Armor. Looks really good too.

Maybe the OP has like 7 hard drives? The Armor looks pretty nice. I have a Tsunami, and I'm pretty happy with it.

Suddenly there's a new contender. I don't know if I can wait for it to come out but it is sick. This case might be perfect for me if it came in black, it's the new CoolerMaster 830.

Check it out: http://www.coolermaster.com/Cebit20...Stacker_830.zip

USB/Firewire in the Front, amazing cooling, no window, professional, oh my gosh. This is my dream case. If anyone can find out anymore information about it I'd like to know (price, availability, features, color, etc.)

By looking at the program, it seems as if the front can come off, is that true? That would be cool if it could.

Nice Link.....I would recomend the Lian Li cases, but they are expensive. Take a look at the Stacker case as this person recomended.
