Hey,
Well, I had received my Coolermaster Centurion 5 CAC-T05 case in the mail and it came with a small dent in it. I made a claim, and now UPS is going to take it away. Seemed like a nice enough case, and was easy enough to work with. My question is, since I now have to reorder a case, I see the superflower sf-201 and it looks like a phenomenal case as well. Anyone have any input on which is the better choice, and where the best place is to buy from is?

Coolermaster: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119077

Superflower: http://www.directron.com/201tblk.html

Also, if there is another case at this price range (absolutely no more than the superflower), feel free to give input on that. I do not want a swinging door for the dvd drives and no PSU.
Thanks,
Mike

Between these two, the Cooler Master.

What made the Superflower a choice for you? Aluminum?

The superflower looks really cool imo, but it also gets tons of praise on tomshardware and such.

Another question. Can you hear the fans more when there is an acrylic side window? One thing I would like is as much sound deadening as possible.

trust me when I say go with the coolermaster!!

The superflower is almost the exact case that I currectly have!!
My case is the aspire X Dreamer with the 6 blue LED lights in the front....

Its a nice case in its own right and for the price...well you know...it was hard not to buy...

But after all the bling b;ling wears off....you will wish you bought the coolermaster....

I know a coolermaster case is probably my next case..or a P 180 with a window on the side...

I just have to have that window!!! lol

OK, so the coolermaster is the way to go.

Should I go with the 5, the 530, or the 532? Don't think the tooless option is that big of a deal. I have a screwdriver. ;)

Thanks. Need to make my order this weekend at the latest.
