the reason i ask is gigabyte case is about 4 years old it is Aluminum ,only thing i think is power supply is on top,all the new case the power supply is on the bottom is that matters?

i like the haf case but it is not Aluminum

which should i go?
thanks!!

It looks like the only things the Aurora case has in its favor is that (1) you already have it...thus saving quite a bit of money, and (2) it's made of aluminum, so it's pretty light if you need to move it.

I'm a fan of the HAF cases. I bought one for my new build.

If you need more convincing...look at some of the fine work in this thread:

Another benefit (IMO) to the HAF 932 is the width. Gives you an extra inch (or more w/o mobo tray) for large coolers.
