Quite pleased with it with a 212 evo cooler I run sub 30's under load |

--- Quote from: Staf on September 25, 2012, 07:19:23 PM ---I'd get the mid-tower case. Personally, I love the room they provide. That one also looks like it has pretty good cable management and screwless installation is always a plus. You should also pick up some fan filters if you have a dusty living area or pets. They reduce how often you need to clean out your system greatly. --- End quote --- I was thinking of getting this case instead of the thermaltake http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352022, sure its more expensive but it is filtered...but I loose out on the tool-less drive bays. |

They are super cheap. Pay more for functionality. Drive bays, space, cord management, airflow, etc. |

The fractal case also has rubber grommets in the drive cages to reduce vibration and extend the life of the drives...unless you use NAS drives which deal with Vibration better than normal drives. Upon closer inspection the fractal case does have tool-free...you just have to mount the drives to a tray and slide it in. Would you sugest a cooler master case? |

I don't have any experience or knowledge on Cooler Master cases. My PSU is Cooler Master brand and it treats me well, though. |
