Whats up guys, since I'm building a new gaming tower I wanna make sure I get a tower that will be nice, cool, and quiet. Between those 2 cases which is better and why?

^^Yeah I was thinkn the same thing, plus its almost $100 cheaper. Its just I heard thermaltakes can be a pain in the ass with video cards, I'm gettin an ATI x850 xt...u think I'll have a problem?

Na you will be alright, Thermaltake usually makes great quality cases. This isn't true about some of their PSU's and Heatsinks though. If you like the Thermaltake, go for it 😉
 
I own the GBII and I love it. It's very well made, sturdy and easy to work with. I put an OCZ Powerstream 520 in it and had no problems doing a clean wiring job, it also cools extremely well with just the 2 stock fans, however it is loud when the fans are running at full voltage. I did the 7v trick on the fans, and they are now nice and quiet without affecting temps due to the excellent airflow. The only major drawback is of course the price, but you get a high quality case that looks great, and is loaded with features.
 
Every magazine I read gave the GBII a great score, Maximum PC even names it the best midsize case out right now. It's sturdy, light, tons of features, and great cooling. Only setback is that it's a bit loud on the stock fans and the hefty price tag. But what can I say, I spent 270 bucks on my case (V1000B w/ window and custom fan holes).
 
Armor!! You won't have problems with the card, my 6800GT works with the PCI lock no prob. And you have problem you just have to un-screw four screws and you are done. Some pics of mine: Here!
 
Yeah the Armor looks pretty decent, but if I was gonna go that route I think I'd get a Stacker instead. In fact is was between the Stacker and GBII for me, but I'm happy with my choice... 🙂

But choice between armor and stacker is not about quality and features, it is all about taste 🙂
(Both cases are awesome! )
