need new case...maybe

[eyi526]

thinking about getting another case for another build. i prefer full towers, but any great mids are fine.

my list:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811119122 coolermaster stacker 830
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811119150 coolermaster cosmos S

http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811133056 thermaltake armorplus
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811133080 thermaltake xaser vi
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811163091 silverstone TJ10 (might get a window on this one)

comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

the cosmos S is great - good cooling. plenty of room. not the absolute best for wire management without modifications.

the 830 seems a little dated to me - the interior layout isn't the best.

thermaltake cases are generally lower quality compared to antec/coolermaster/lian li - they use more plastic parts.

The TJ-10 is the best looking case IMO from the ones you have listed. However, the case isn't the best choice if you going to water cool in the future. I also think it's a little overpriced for what you get.

I would take a good strong look at the Coolermaster ATSC 840. Great quality, layout, cooling, and wire managment.

I had the Stacker 832 & wasn't that impressed with it.
If I were to get a full-tower case today, it'd probably be the ATSC 840.

if the TJ-10 is in your budget i would look into the ATCS 840 as well. im getting one in a week to replace my thermaltake armor as my primary case. the armor line was good, back in 2006ish. by today's standards it's really lacking in features and the cable management on them is pretty meh. i couldnt even modify mine to route cables behind the motherboard tray because i wouldnt have had anywere to route them, there just wasnt enough space where it was needed, and the gap between the back panel and the mobo tray was to small to fit some of the ones from my PSU i wanted to hide back there

Have you seen the PC-K62?
To me, it appears to be the steel/plastic version of the Lian Li PC-P50R.
I don't know when the LanCool is going to hit the shelves...i've sent them inquiries & am awaiting a reply...but i'm anxiously awaiting their arrival.
IIRC, the PC-K62 is going to retail for ~$119.95...about half the cost of the PC-P50R.
