Which of these two cases should I choose?

[Bert770]

I want to upgrade my processor to a Athlon XP 1600+ and I want to change my case. I have the choice between two cases, which one should I choose? First, a case made by Aopen, as you can see at this URL:
Aopen HX45 Case. Or a Nikao case as you can see at the following URL: Nikao MT-3000 Case.

I know that the Nikao has a pretty good design and that she is more large that the Aopen case, so better for the ventilation of the processor. What do you think? Thanks to anybody who will help me!

my thoughts is why not a antec case as it has better airflow than the two you are linking to.

She? The attribution of gender to inanimate computer parts is a frightening trend.

If you have the option try looking for better cases that would be more suitable for future use. After all, you'll probably have the case longer than most of your components. Brands to consider (affordable): InWin, Antec, Fong-Kai. BTW, you the AOpen site doesn't even have an inside view of the case, nor did I find a spec. on the number of fans or compatible fan sizes. Also, does the Nikao case come with some sort of cover for a CD/DVD-ROM drive to mask a non-grey color?

Between those two, I'd go with the Aopen HX45 Case. =)

 

[BeauJangles]

I abstain.

 

[mboy]

Yes, between those 2 I would go for the Antec as well Why get anything else?

 

[MoFunk]

How sturdy is that Nikao? Oh yea, check out antec as well or Inwin or Enlight or............

i'd agree with half the other ppl here and say get neither. get an antec or enlight or enermax or etc. but if for some reason, you NEED , as in ABSOLUTELY NEED TO, get one of those two, i'd get the aopen.
