Hi,
I'm in the process of choosing a case, and its down to these 2. If price difference isn't a consideration, which of these 2 are better in
1) Cooling options
2) Cooling ability
3) Construction quality
4) Power supply quality
5) etc...

Also, where are the best places to buy either of these 2 cases?

Thanks!
 
aircooling wise, there is no better case than hte liteone FS020. construction quality is top notch on both of them, cant go wron with either ones. PSUs on antecs are supposed to be on par with sparkles, which is pretty good. that answers some of your questions... onvia and directron are some of better places to shop for cases.
 
sorry for my spelling... i was up for some 36 hours str8 😀 i used to have a heavily modded inwin q500a for a while before i decided to do get me a watercooling for me. inwin q500a IMO is the best case for modding, plenty of room, side pannels are present unlike in the antec ones.
 
Hmmn...the reason only these 2 are in the decision making process is because they're pretty large and roomy, but aren't really full tower size. Full towers are too large, and these 2 cases are both around 21", which are fine. The only other cases I know that are of these size are my own 6896A and the Chenbro GENIE. The former has too few external 5.25"/3.5" bays and the latter is too expensive.
Anyway, I guess its gonna be the Liteon FS020 with 3 120mm fans and an upgraded 350W Enermax PS.

Thanks again!
 
I have the Lite-On FS020 with a Enermax 350 and 3 120mm fans. The Construction quality is topnotch and even with the 3 fans it is quiet. The 4 51/2" drive bays are a plus not to mention that the interior is well designed and spacious. Don't be fooled though, because the case is really big and I can't see why it's called a mid tower. I had problems using all my old cables inside because they were a tad too short. I won't suggest carrying this thing around to LAN parties because when it's stocked , it can be real heavy. Overall it's the best case I've had to date (and I've only had two before). I can see myself using this case for a very long time.

BTW I modified it a little and painted it black. and silver.
 
Raging, thanks, I know how big it is...I have an Addtronics 6896A and its also around the same dimensions. Looks like its gonna be the Liteon. Where'd you get it and for how much(including the 3 fans and the Enermax 350W)?
