[SuPrEIVIE]

OK its down to the wire

Its either the Kingwin here
OR
This compucase from OCsystems here

i need to make a final decision opinions are appreciated!

 

[boyRacer]

Kingwin.

BTW... OC system has a crappy reseller rating.

 

[Corporate Thug]

kingwin hands down

 

[merlion]

Well, I would choose the Kingwin case. but if you end up choosing the OCsystem case keep this in mind. Not so sure I would deal with them.

 

[SuPrEIVIE]

great u had to show me that resller link ...Does the kingwin have good ventilation, air flow i am aware the OC case does...BTW directron a good company?

 

[merlion]

The Kingwin has good ventilation from the reviews I have read, and yes Directron is good to deal with.

The Compucase is basically the Antec 1000 series with a different front. Can't go far wrong with that design.
Can be had with a very good (Heroichi) 300w PSU on newegg for $65. ($80. total, shipped 2-3 day air!).

i am aware they stock a similar case but OCS's case has more goodies at 78$ incl shipping

Looks like Directron reseller rating has gone down since I bought a case from them this past February.

This decision is giving me a headache more opinions?

I never had any problems with directron... ordered two cases from them before... fans... panels... etc. That Kingwin is backordered but that's the lowest price i've seen for that case.

I don't know where you live, but if you are not near OC Systems then the $15. 2-3 day air trumps the $23. ground shipping. 3-day from OCS is $48.!!!
. Let's compare oranges here. A few $$ worth of aftermarket add-ons/mods don't make up for the huge shipping charges and their apparently poor reseller ratings. I can stick in a plastic duct on the side and still have lots of $$$ left for more mods.
. Not to mention the fact that a PSU is EXTRA from OCS and the one in Newegg's is the 300W Heroichi that was highly rated on tomshardware, not just some generic junk. So by far the better deal on the Compucase is at Newegg. All their other options I can get cheaper at places like SVC.
. I can see OCS's game is to sell you the razor cheap, then kill you on the blades...

The Kingwin is sexy sexy sexy. The black x-dreamer (not spyder) at svc looks a lot like it, has lots of fan room, is cheap, and is from svc which you've got to love. Almost got it - I still visit the pictures (feel like I'm cheating on my antec when I do). But the Kingwin is really nice; the other seems really functional too. Good luck to you.

Not to upset the apple cart, but how about the Case Tek aluminum at newegg - 1019 series, w/o PSU. Looks a lot like the Compucase. $55., $60 with "Q" window, shipped!
. Very good user reviews. I'm tempted for my own system - find me decent looking aluminum case for less.

wow thats a nice case! i might consider that one but please don't tell me those usb 2.0 ports are where a blowhole would go!

 

[Zepper]

Naah, you can still mount a fan under those vent holes if you need to.

[s0ssos]

oh. i forgot to write a reseller rating for directron last time i used them.
so, if it makes any difference, i think they're really good. in fact, they even left the PSU in the case (i bought it without, cause you save some money, and i already had a truepower). and i sold that for money =P
