Help me choose a case

[b3b0p]

I love the Cooler Master 210B-AZ1 (or DX1 if I could find it) or the Cooler Master 201B-SXT or 201B-SXK. I just can't decide between the two.


What do other people have and/or like?

I am leaning towards the 201B-SXT. It just looks more professional and matches just about everything. I like the 210 but afraid the awkward bright colors might be too distracting after a while. Any one have a 210B/C?

Also, what do you guys think of the new Cooler Master Centurion? I can't decide if I like it or not. It looks pretty industrial I guess.

I don't know if it matters at all but I have a Dell 1800FP Monitor (on the way).

Thanks,
Chris

I personally have an old Inwin Q500 server case that still keeps me going but I've been drooling over the Kingwin KT-436-BK-WM , especially as it has a removable mobo tray as well as the 3 built in windows and a helluva lot lighter than my existing case !

201b-az1 is my personal favorite

Im partial to Antec cases. There built like an ox, user friendly, very moddable, and sweet PSU's to go with them. I'll never get anything except them now. Check out my newest one, "Blue Fantasy" This is the 1000AMG model. Go to www.antec-inc.com for all there models. There all steel cases, so there heavy, Antec doesn't make aluminum.

Go with the 210B series. All colors look pretty good. It's a sweet design!

Yes I like it alot. Especially the Azure (blue) one. Right now I have 2 concerns with it:

1. Does the door become annoying over time?
2. How would this look next to a black monitor (Dell 1800FP)?

Thanks everyone, I broke down and bought the case yesterday afernoon.

I got the CoolerMaster ATC-210C-DX1 with Windowed Side Panel. I got it from SunDialMicro.com after hearing good things about them.

I originally wanted the ATC-201B-SXT (Silver front with piano black body), but found out it was discontinued and no one had any left in stock. So it was either the 210C-DX1 or the 201C-SXK (all silver/no paint).

Again thanks for everyones input. This was the final piece I needed for my new PC in a long time (Switched to a Mac for about a year, but switched back). Everything is in the mail and on its way. Can't wait to put it together.
