Help Phil Choose Case
« on: March 22, 2009, 06:47:47 PM »
Currently i'm looking at upgrading my pc case, i'm in dire need of some proper ventilation, and my only option with my current case is to use it with the side panel off [TAKE A LOOK SEE]. I don't need a full tower case, and i don't think i have room in my pc area for a full tower case anyways, a mid tower would suffice.

I have two cases in mind,

The Antec 902: Amazon $142.85 USD    -------Driver Heaven Review

and..

The Thermaltake Element S: Amazon $119.99 USD  -------- Driver Heaven Review

I'm impressed with both, i like the antec because of its design and cooling features, but i love the thermaltake because of the build quality. Sucks that the thermaltake doesn't have a side window, but who cares right now, i want ventilation!!!! Would like to know if anyone here has any of these cases, and their experiences, also if y'all have any other recommendations. Thanks in advance  :)

It would look cool, if you used the Antec Skeleton, but the dust buildup would be a real headache to control.

I think you would get better airflow from the Antec.  The intake fans now have washable filters.  The cable management features from the Antec 1200 are now included in the 902.  For a cable management nut like you, I know thats a serious issue. :)

I vote Antec 902.
