#13 - Question/Answer: Best Computer Case

[MARSPALMA]

CM 690 Advanced II

[LAZrailkapinda]

Lan Boy

[theyash06]

650D corsair obsidian :D

[JC5301]

Wen u say next cases....do you mean nzxt?

[SjhotwingS]

antec 1200 :) 

[CLICKMEYOULOSER]

SilverStone RV01 Raven.

It looks unique and it feels like *May sound pathetic* the case was personally designed for me.

[aeroaa2]

vh6000bws

tj07

tj11

antec 1200

800d

haf 922

cases that i like

and the first 3 are my favourite

[productreviewguy]

Cooler Master Storm Scout FTW! Plenty of room and expansion slots and if you ever have to move your computer, maybe to upgrade components, handles on top make it easy to move. Oh yeah, and it's painted black inside, and has red lights which can be turned off. Suuweeet. Comes with three fans installed 120mm front 120mm back 140 mm top.

[MMAliker456]

@productreviewguy Yeah and only supports GPU cards up to 10.5 in long. Also, cable management is inexistent

[THEWHlTEGUY]

Corsair obsidian 800D



[1a2bize]

@THEWHlTEGUY I think is the best case for gaming but is very expensive.

[THEWHlTEGUY]

@1a2bize yes it is a little expensive but you could also go for the 650D which is about $80 dollars cheaper and is still a fantastic case

[SmelDiferenToMidget]

@THEWHlTEGUY corsair doesnt fit xl-atx

[THEWHlTEGUY]

@SmelDiferenToMidget 99% of people are not going to need an xl atx...you can make a perfectly awesome system with a full atx

[SmelDiferenToMidget]

@THEWHlTEGUY No you cant, the best mobo for a second gen intel(like th i7 2600k) you can buy is the msi big bang marshal that is xl-atx

[THEWHlTEGUY]

@SmelDiferenToMidget Well that's your opinion...there are plenty of great atx boards that will support more than enough for nearly anyone's needs

[SmelDiferenToMidget]

@THEWHlTEGUY Well and that is your opinion, fortunatly we live in free countries(your one not so much though)...

[THEWHlTEGUY]

@SmelDiferenToMidget First of all i live in California which is in the USA, Second of all why would you bring up the subject of being in a free country in the first place (seems pointless) and third of all its not an opinion that there are many great atx boards that will fit in the 800D....only a couple motherboards wont fit.

[SmelDiferenToMidget]

@THEWHlTEGUY exacly, the us(or dumbfuckistan) is ranked 30 something on democracy, Norway is one of the first 4.

The best mobos are xl-atx or extended atx

[THEWHlTEGUY]

@SmelDiferenToMidget It's kind of ironic how you say i'm from "dumbfuckistan" when you cant even come up with a valid reason why an xl-atx or extended atx motherboard is better than a standard atx. You are unsuccessfully trying to use politics to prove this even though politics has nothing to do with computers. If you are trying to convince someone that something is better than something else (xl-atx vs atx) then come up with an actual reason. Otherwise you are just a common troll.

[SmelDiferenToMidget]

@THEWHlTEGUY U mad bro?

[MrMountainproduction]

i need to get a full case but i dont want to spend 100 dollars my maximum is 60$

[THEWHlTEGUY]

@MrMountainproduction if you want a full case for $60 you would probably have to look for used ones.....the cheapest full cases are atleast $100

[oWhiteMonster]

@MrMountainproduction the antec 300 is 60 i have it :D

[jjchang310]

should i get the COOLERMASTER HAF X 942 or the NZXT Phantom WHITE??

[powerpoint1357924680]

@jjchang310 PHANTOM WHITE!

[teeblack06]

Haf 922!

[Timmer1717]

NZXT M59... nuff said

[Timmer1717]

NZXT M59

[clinte1]

Silverstone Rv01 great looking and the best airflow bottom air in top air out and motherboard is flipped so you components get the best air flow

so silverstone for me

[HostageKiller]

Airflow is nice, but too many open grills/mesh covers and your entire case will end up filled with dust in little more than a few months, and honestly that's a real pain in the ass to take care of. In the end, if there's an air intake I can't install a dust filter into, I don't even want to deal with it. Right now I'm running an old Thermaltake Shark with the open mesh on the side, and that's got to be the worst design idea I've ever seen in a case, from a practical standpoint. Dust EVERYWHERE.

[themetalgod50]

for me the beast is cooler master

[jajajaja2006]

This is the best Antec case watch?v=HV-nDtt89qI&feature=pl­ayer_embedded

[GoreSmasher]

HAF X

[benoit353]

Why do people laugh at this guy? He is badass!

[ghaibboy]

who is this guy? how can i believe him?

[xXDudissimoXx]

in my opinion the best case is the Silverstone Fortresst 2(or Raven 02)

[NeilJillett1996]

Antec 300 is terrificly simple in my opinion.

My faiv case however is CM 690 II Advanced.

The Lian Li Armorsuite.. I forget the model number.. Is a more awesome Antec 300.

[Carefreeblues]

cm 690 advanced II i think is good value for money, looks quite sharp too.

[erik818ws]

is the nzxt lexa s good or no? someone please answer me.

[erik818ws]

is the nzxt lexa s good or no?

[SnipeMeNot]

@erik818ws hell yeah! nzxt phantom and khaos ftw

[psphack3r2008]

@erik818ws its good. but its a mid-tower case

[Cyclops4770]

902 antec for a mid-tower

[skaterboy379]

antec 1200!! :D

[smallville0forever]

i love thermaltake speedo advance package who is with me

[paulhojda]

antec 900 ftw

[ToxicWaffe87]

@paulhojda Yeah In love mine!

[tony535]

Cooler Master HAF 922 all the way

[Ortegala]

@tony535 I have it too ^^. love that case!!

[doaworld]

I use iCute :P full tower with vents @ $30 ^^

[999cheetos999]

I use Lian Li cases since ive grown attached to full aluminum/steel cases and the quality of the product is just awesome.. But if u ask me what is the most badass cases now, it would be CoolerMaster HAF-X, Lian Li Armorsuits,Thermaltake Armor series,Silverstone RV01,Antec 1200's :D

[7A1R28]

antec, cooler master, nzxt, thermaltake, rosewill? the Antec 902 is the best case I've ever owned hands down. i just wish i could diable the rear LED and make the top fan more slim so it doesnt rise so far above the top. excellent airflow and enough room for an 11.5" graphics card (;

[glashaugen]

i have an old bZerk case : D allmoast like at the raidmax case <3

i mod it up now with 2x 92 mm fan in front, 2x 80mm fans back 1x 80mm fan at the bottom under the harddrive and 1x 80mm fan at the side : P i also gonna paint it black inside, back and at the bottom : )

[aldrum420]

i have a toshiba satellite pro l445 intel express r4 its 128 mb and i cant run cod 4 on medium settings i thik its ok

[Pieisforsk8ers]

HAF X, the God of cases.

[TezhykOn]

Silverstone Raven RV01 <3 The Best!

[EddieLolz3r]

no, the 800d sucks for air cooling

[MrDucktaper]

I own an Antec 900 ;D

[dontrlycare]

@MrDucktaper yaaaay =P

[asus3571]

i would have to say seeing as overclocking and keeping components cool along with features for price set cooling being most important the haf 932 cannot be beat 2x 110cfm 230mm fan 1x110cfm 230 exaust 69cfm 140 exaust it has almost perfect possitive to negative airflow ratios plus it 139bones

[BKsMassive]

Antec 1200 <3

so big you can live in it!

[2at8er]

cm 690 ii advanced - Best midtower case.

[lodovico95]

Silverstone rv01 rocks!!!

[lxlANDlxl]

atcs 840

[BetterDayz19]

CM 690 II Advanced

[otterboxiphone]

Lian-LI P80 is for sure the best imho.

[snipski0894]

corsair obsidion 800d hands down

[ILikeKiks]

I'm gonna buy the Antec 300 becuase of the great quality, and great aiflow, and VERY cheap price.

[bobslive1]

i would go for the 900 i have the 300 which is good but the 900 has more expanable features



[Leignheart]

no guys haf is not the best, its really really good and nice looking but there are vastly superior cases to it. its like saying the video game halo is the best, it was really really good but there is vastly superior games to it. get it?

[Leignheart]

ive owned alot of cases, haf is good, antec is great, i hate the power supply at the bottom though, i really do, i like a few cooler masters, but my favorite has to be thermaltake armor+ my is the liquid cooled version, very expensive but i love it, it has everything, and i like the level 10 by thermaltake, but the level 10 is all about flash, i dont like that, and it was hard for me to part with 800 bucks for something that makes me go meh.

[woodshuck]

@Leignheart the power supply at the bottom is a good thing because it helps to stabelize the case

[demon69120]

Why do you like the power suply up top though?

At the bottom is a great design because the heat exausts out through the bottom instead of outside. But I guess since heat radiates up they should do it at the top.

[Leignheart]

@demon69120 see? you answered your own question. but the powersupply just feels more natural to me at the top, and it feel wierd wiring everything from the bottom to the top.

[kop4321]

haf 932 is the the best case for under 200 imo

[jthompson7661]

Antec 1200 is a good one. 3X front 120mm, 200mm top, 2X 120 Rear and option for a side and even an inside the case fan. I like the idea of the HDD cages.

[asdernr]

Yes guys HAF 932 is the best one yet

[3dollarchipz]

922

[simonshusse]

Obsidian 800D takes the cake imo.

[Nefus2]

But does that have good airflow? Or do I have to buy three additional 120mm fans and put to the top?

[simonshusse]

You should always mount as many quality fans as possible, the more you have the slower you can set them and still get adequate air flow. You don't have to buy the fans with the case though, build your computer and if you want it cooler or more quiet just fill up the empty holes.

Obisidan 800D is ALL about air flow - but then again so are many other cases.

[Nefus2]

Ok, but how fast should they rotate? I have seen fractal design made som quiet 120mm fans that runs at 1000rpm. But is that to slow?

[simonshusse]

That depends on what you want. I'm not into over cklocking so my setting is always really low to get a s i l e n t setup - lower than 1000rpm i would imagine(4x120, 2 in and 2 out). The only fan that I have sped up is the cpu cooler fan which is inaudible anyhow. :-)

[oakcfloyd]

Lian-Li PC P80B. Hands down the best case out there. Number 2 would be the 830 Stacker SE (special Edition) by Cooler Master. These ARE the best cases. There, simple. no beatin' around the bush.

[tyrt100]

HAF 932 Full tower... best case I ever owned. You could do so much with this case... big fans 230mm. wow! Coolermaster very affordable with good quality.

[bknight25]

I got a Thermaltake kandalf with the 220mm on the side really good air circulation

[fenderbassplayewr455]

I want to get the NZXT tempest case but here are my options : i have a 330$ budget and i need : a video card: a case: a 750 watt power supply: please tell me what i should get.

[rauleeter]

Try the antec perhaps? i saw a thermaltake black widow that looks very sleek and is solid black yet because it was in the box i could not see if there is enough air flow in the case. I for one am going to mod the panel in my gateway for better air flow but next year ill do a custom build i think.

[slimbullet96]

5770 + cooler master tx = $ 275

[MTLbigJ]

i have an antec 300....got alot of stuff in it.....gets crowded.....but it also has 6 fans.....so yah....i would get apevia cuz i liek the styles

[journeyquest1]

Not a laptop case. My HP laptop CPU just cooked after 2 years of moderate use. Poor air circulation design. Thanks for the pc of crap HP. My desktop is great with the Antec server case. Lots of room for anything.

[dewgy32]

i just place my components into a coolermaster 922, and so far the cooling is great compared to my old xblade.

[c64geff]

Akasa eclipse is still the best case going all these years later.

[8RUT4l]

agree,antec cases are great

[jamiebridges123]

hi im rodney reynolds and today we're going to do another video review! thankfully the motherboard tray IS removeable!

[modn00b]

The 922 HAF is a bit overpriced, on newegg it is only 20 bucks less than the 932, its big bro.

The tempest is great because its like 80 bucks, and the 900 is also good.

[iskrukutum21]

922 is more handsome than 932..

[modn00b]

ehh, matter of opinion, and also size...

[bastec666]

word, older lian li's, the ones i ususally look at, have terrible air flow. my 900 is fantastic, my next pc will have the 300 though because i dont like plexi sides....

[foxracer927]

wtf?

[foxracer927]

top 5 mid tower cases go:

1. antec 902

2. antec 900

3. cooler master haf 922

4. cooler master cm-690

5. antec 300

[bastec666]

Lian-Li also doesn't focus on cooling. Many of the cases are still a classic design, where as Antec has moved on to designs that are better cooling. My Antec 900 with 90cfm fans keeps everything under 30c, my AMD 6000+ is oc'd to 3.2 and its only 22c base and 28c load, I love Antec, always have, always will.

[danxl5]

HAH!

XD

[raspao4]

lawl epic comment

[suckmadic1]

suck ma dic

[T7thK]

Thermal Take Mozart TX is a beast!

[IMattNovakI]

i like the Coolmaster 932 HAF i ordered, its a real tank, but looks great, and easy access inside. Fantastic cooling as well.

[azkeyz]

to me the best case is no case , because a case is an un-nessessary expense - I don't want some case mucking up my ability to see the beautiful electronics

cases are not for me , get a tech bench.

[sjaafjell112]

antec 900 is amazing

[starchild9000]

antec 300 best budget case

[antec12gtx260]

you can upgrade it as well

[hanjam16]

You can Mod the hell out of the antec 300. its has brilliant build quality and is quite cheap, its a name brand case and its amazing

[lolibomb]

Thank you Kevonieia for your comment I really appreciate. Thanks.

[lolibomb]

Guys, I want to convert to widescreen monitor, do I need to buy it Hp since my system is Hp?

[xwillx0wnz]

no.

[pathmaker1977]

i would say the Coolermaster HAF, BAD ASS CASE for me of coarse.

[1981z28camaro]

hehe, he mentioned Lian Li after I commented :-)

[1981z28camaro]

Lian Li Armorsuit PC-P80

[tiquimlgn]

antec 900 and 1200 won bcn awards in japan!their air flow sytem rules..

[crazywin69]

thermaltake kandalf lcs is amazoing... the 360mm radiator in the front, tons of space, absolutly fantastic airflow with a simple case mod of adding another fan on the side pannel and what i have done of putting an extra 120mm fan on the outside of my case on the back, were your graphics cards blow out hot air... cuz new gpu's can make tons and tons of heat

[SCARSAC]

my mozart has got 10 120mm and 1 80 mm im good on air cooling

[tgseason12]

Agreed. At least cases under $200

[Razear]

Antec 1200 or Antec 900 2.

[kekohotel]

Rosewill Conqueror

[xxxTheFakexxx]

comparing to Thermaltake armor full tower with the Thermaltake Speedo full tower, which one is the best?

[DaShnipa]

Coolermaster HAF

[Wtp135]

thermaltake m9 is the best case

[jodellstasic]

V9, not M9. And no, it's not the best. The HAF 932 totally pewns that case and besides, the V9 is just an imitation of the Antec Nine Hundred, which is crap.

[Docthewrench]

I cant take any case and make it rock 20 dollar case to a hundred dollar case its all easy to make it working case

[Foxpoop]

A pelican Case 16'x20'x8'

[Star13MODZ]

If your looking for cool case mod ideas come to my channel im posting my fully modded mid tower case next week so stay tuned

[rubenvideostube]

Silverstone FT01

[iXzion93]

X-Gear X-Wing (chek mij channel for 2 vids showing the case)

[arvutihull]

Cosmos S

Lian Li PC-80

Lian Li TYR X2000

the top three...

[Neodude991]

I have a Antec 300 with a top and back fan but can't have a front fan since I only have 3 fan headers.

[ctcraam]

CM 690, 7 120mm fan spots, can fit internal W/C  also fits every card in the world.

[thore022]

Antec 1200!

[jnchewb]

+1 to that. And because I purchased it like 3 days ago. :)

[NikeySunfire]

yeah u don't have another choice but to support that lol

[godfatherscar]

I went from a one fan hp to a 5 fan antec 900 one fan is multicolored, with 2 blue cold cathodes sound reactive

[inertia72395]

this is a great case, and its afordible APEVIA X-JUPITER-JR S-Type X-JPJST-BK Black SECC Steel Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

[gippula]

p182...love it...

[NikeySunfire]

yeah this is probably going to be my next case, but how is the air circulation? it doesnt have so many fans on it

[alicenine33]

twelve hundred...the BEST.

[batild]

hhaha i got a HPcase it has only 1 fan hole

[notrickroll]

Same here ha-ha. I'm getting the Antec 300 soon to replace it.

[Corrybasler]

I have the Antec 1200, its just a full tower Antec 900 with more fans! I love it it keeps my Q6600 @ 3.7Ghz and my 8800GT's in SLI very cool@

[tinkyshearer]

You want filters on your fans as fans can draw a lot of dust into your case. Filters are a must.

[grog102]

Are the Apevia X-Jupiter Jr cases any good?

[kifuri46]

cosmos s ftw....

[jester070993]

i know

[cemdinc86]

wow this vid in same weird way made me horny

[ImGodUFUCK]

YOU CHOOSE THE CASE ON HOW IT LOOKS

GOSH PEOPLE ARE SICK

ohhhhh look at me im a fag i have an ugly cooler master with 7 fans ohh yeah (cm690)

[jester070993]

how is the 690?

[mudchair16]

great case though..

[ChickenAttackForce]

NZXT Tempest is a perfect example :D

6 fans, great looks

[ImGodUFUCK]

NZXT Apollo FTW

[H4X3R22]

I like how he uses one pc for work AND games.. must be some pressure not to play when at work ;)

[aeagle326]

cooler master makes a SIIIIIIIIICK case. i love mine. cooler master centurion 590. one 120mm on the side, front and top, along with the back. lots of good airflow, great temperatures. plenty of 5.25" bays, water cooling ready, but only 3.5" bay

[VIVICK]

same here but mine's with a transparent side panel cool case but my fans are cheap and too loud waiting to get better ones

[iranman09]

Can the Antec 900 have space for water cooling?

[Colegade]

Plenty of room. Im currently working on putting a full watercooling setup into a Thermaltake LANBox Lite. lol (Watercooled SFF)

[themiln]

Antec NINE HUNDRED for the win!

[bbrookstuntmen]

the NZXT tempest is pretty new and pretty sexy has amazing airflow 2 120mm fans in the front 2 140mm fans on the top 1 120mm fan in the rear and 1 120mm fan on the side

[legion696]

It looks like an Antec 900 rip-off
