Topic: So which case should I use...

I just got around to getting rid of my old HP setup: (Athlon xp 2400+, Radeon 9600 128MB, 786MB DDR) and built a better secondary computer out of spare parts: ECS Geforce6100pm-m2 motherboard, AMD Phenom x3 8450, 2GB DDR2, Built in Video (for now).

Now, the thing is, the case I had to use for it was an Antec 900 http://www.techwarelabs.com/reviews/cas … ex_2.shtml

I was putting it together and I was thinking that this case really is a bit cooler than my main computer's (MSI MB, AMD Phenom x4 9600, Radeon HD2600 512MB, 4GB DDR2)  case, and Alienware Aurora older style case http://www.itechnews.net/wp-content/upl … ion-pc.jpg

Both cases have plenty of space, and plenty of cooling, and are difficult to bring to a LAN party, but really which one has more appeal? I am on the fence but, what are your opinions?

Re: So which case should I use...

i was going to tell you to take the one more suitable for your desktop & theme, but i see neither really is lol
i rather like the alienware case, but if you had something black or gray closer to the default theme of CB the other one might fit.
happy gaming (and happy dragging)

Between those two, I like the Antec more.

I like the Antec. I've never been a fan of those see through sides but it is still much cooler than the Alienware.

Re: So which case should I use...

Having roommates and friends with Antec 900s, and owning an Antec 300 myself, I'm going for the Antec on this one.
