So I wanted to see what you all thought of my choices. :) My present case has 2 USB ports that have wiggled loose, and gone bad. So, time for a new one with tax money! :)Here are the choices....which one do you all prefer? Here are the links to what I am deciding between:choice 1: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811146068choice 2: http://www.tigerdire...8005&CatId=1510thanks all! :)

Between the two, the NZXT. It's alright.

Agreed.I would pick a HAF 932 though

For that price range, go forhttp://www.newegg.co...20solano%201000ORhttp://www.newegg.co...=solano%201000rMy friend has the 1000R. It isn't oversized and it has great features. Overall it's a fantastic case and I would *highly* recommend it to anyone wanting to build a new pc.The case fans are nearly silent, it has excellent ventilation, and it has good cable routing and holes for cables. It also has plenty of room for gigantic graphics cards such as the HD 5970 or the GTX 580.

I'd like to add I'm not new to this.....this will be about my 6th upgrade to this rig.....3rd case. My main concerns, other then replacing the broken USB's is to have adequate cable management for a change. Both the poll items have cable pass-throughs with rubber coating on them. That is a HUGE plus for me. But thanks and keep the replies coming. :)

I had actually looked at the HAF as well. Also a good case in it's own right, but something about the NZX just caught my eye.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139007This is one of the best cases on the market right now. Loaded with features, has lovely rubber grommets, has a TON of room behind the mobo tray for cables, and has lots of room for airflow and large graphics cards.

Half of purchasing a case is deciding which one appeals to you! Go with that first educated choice you made, as you'll usually be happier that way. The NZXT is a good looking case!For the price, the newer Coolermasters are the best options right now. The 932, CM692, Storm Trooper (sweet case!). But if you love the aesthetics, the NZXT is a quality "mid-range" mid-tower with decent cooling options.

Not to highjack this thread but my next built will start with the TH10 case in white. I'll be going water cooling all the way, I know it's an expensive case but you can customize it the way you want it (more $$)... http://caselabs-store.com/

I would go with this one. I've had mine in white for a while now, and I wouldn't have any other case.

Great choice! Awesome case! Are you planning on doing some water cooling with some rads?

Nah this is just a replacement to get me up to better cable management and working top-loaded USB's again. I dont overclock so no need for water. If my gear cant run native speeds, I'm not going to ruin it. :) I don't have the cash to keep replacing blown out hardware because I wanted to go faster. :)Just a nice update from the case I have now.

Awesome deal!

I agree! The 600T is amazing! Its slowly turning me into a Corsair ######.
