Which case to pick up?

[FFG]

I am going to pick my new case soon and i want to get the best one for me ,not changing it in a week becouse i found another that looked better.

So all i want is space and it must be below 200$
Which one from the three
Cooler Master SX1 (Big,roomy,nice interior,a lot of space in front but not too tall as the others.)

Lian Li G70 Black (Big case,very high build quality but if you dont mod it good it will be quite "stock" case.)

Gigabyte Aurora 3D Black (Very tall case,but not like the other two's.That is my choice for now.Good stylish look,i will put a big window there.Also very nice door that you can lock.)


I need more modding skills for high-end cases but i really want this one to be cool and i have time to do it.

Cooler Master SX1 or Gigabyte is my choice althought SX1 is a bit expensive.

What do you think?

I forgot to mention that the exact model of Cooler master case is S4000 SX1,The long limo case.

Lian Li under $200
Now you have choices.
Otherwise.
PC-G70B is a big case. A lot of interior room. Are you planning to use the mobo 12"x13"?

Wow, the SX1 looks awesome. All the links in Google take me to UK sites; is this a Europe only case, just new or what?

I also like the Lian Li PC-V1100.

The CoolerMaster ATC S4000 was discontinued a while ago. Out of the ones you have listed, I'd probably get the Lian Li G70, but since you like doors, check out the PC-101 and PC-201.

G70 FTW... easy watercooling

 

[FFG]

No,S4000 SX1 is still available from one shop.I even asked and they replyed yes they have some in stock.
Why nobody is up for aurora here?Perfect case,where you have two 120mm fans in the back?Or a bulletproof door and nickled backplate.

yes G70 is nice but if i would take it over gigabyte i would get the SX1.
I need more comments please.

Its a hard call

I almost bought the aurora except for two things:

I don't like the looks of the front of the case. No point in spending $150 on a case u dont' want to look at!

The front 120 fan looks restricted due to harddrive placement directly in front of HDD bay. It looks bad but some say it isnt' a big deal.

other than that it looks great!

I like everything about the Aurora except the front, not very appealing style imo.

 

[TrevorRC]

So you might as well pull the G70 out of the race, if you'd pick the SX1 over if the G70 beat the Aurora.

Aurora vs. SX1 it is.

Also, the Aurora looks riduculous, IMO... the G70 is now hard anodized, and is almost bulletproof Al2O3 is almost as hard as diamond [It's a 9 on the Mohs' hardness scale.], so you have to be almost intentional in damaging the case.

how about TT's armor? lots of room and plenty of drive bays. Plus the Armor will come out with a side pannel upgrade for a 25mm fan! Not many full size case can boast about having a 25mm fan.

Also what about the CM Staker? Simular design as the Armor.

If i had to chose between the choices you gave tho, most likely it would be the G70. You cant really compare the build quality on the lian li, to other competitors unless you go silverstone TJ-07

Anyhow, in most cases ive had, you need to warp the backplate sometimes to get a perfect fit. Lian Li's there absolutely perfect down to screws

Plus i have yet to hear a single lian li owner rant about his case being bad. That itself should tell u a lot.

Too bad.... it's much nicer then anything CoolerMaster has now.

J-pepper got 9 of these left and i reserved one

Gigabyte loses

I am going for Cooler Master ATC S4000 SX1
Lian-Li G70 cant compare to the extended CM one IMO.

And i am very happy with my choice
Its absolutely unmodded and ready to go

Thats the best case out there for now
