Coolermaster Praetorian or Wave Master - Which would you get and why?

 

[hondAS2ooo170]

i personally would go for the wave master just because it looks nicer and it has good cooling

i prefer the looks of the wavemaster, very sexy.

Praetorian, You'll appreciate not having to open the dang doors every time you load a disk.
And because the name "Praetorian" kicks arse.

actually, i prefer the doors since it covers the ugly front bezel of the cd drives.

I like the smooth look of the Cavalier, myself. Doors aren't really an issue (you CAN just leave them open, you know), and its WAAAY cheaper than the Wavemaster.

no it doesn't. I have a WM and the cooling sucks. go with the prae or at least look at a lian li pc-60

I have the WM and the cooling seems fine to me. ambient temp is around 35C if I remember correctly.

I'd just go with whatever one you think looks better. They are almost the same internally.

i got the praetorian because it doesn't have the doors of the WM and being pretty much a new build i got matching silver drives, nec-3500 and a nexus fan controller 3-1/2 with blue leds. looks awesome and cuts down the noise of the 80mm fans and still cools like a sob.

don't think you can go wrong with either, just depends on what look you like.

They are both excellent cases!! I don't think either would be a bad choice.Like others have said,just depends on your personal tastes.

Bingo but if your willing to stealth or paint your drive doors then your set. But both look great and are high quality

 

[leepark]

What if price was the same? What would your choice be?

Which one has better air flow? Quieter? Better quality?

Both are great cases but i prefer the classic look of the Praetorian.
