What would you pick?

Hello everyone,

Well since I started on my New Gaming ASUS X99 build using the Cooler Master Cosmos II Case,I decided and said I need to replace 2 older PC cases I have with one being a Thermaltake Back case and a MontainMods U2-UFO case.

Couple of the main thing is I want to be able to do is use the H100i system in a top mount and have good cable management.

I really like the looks of Coarsair and Cooler Master Cases so I am trying to stay in those brands of cases as you will see below..

So I am looking at 4 different PC Cases so what would you all suggest out the 4 cases below to get..

As you will also notice I really like the full size case that I picked except for one of them being the Vengence C70..

1.Corsair Graphite Series 760T CC-9011074-WW White Full Tower Windowed Case This case I really like but not a big fan of having to remove the top piece off but would have to if a run the H100i..

2.Corsair Graphite Series 600T Arctic White Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case simular to the 760T..

3.Corsair Vengeance Series C70 Arctic White Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case This case I have not decided if I was to get this one if I would go for the Black,White or Military Green.it is also on the small size for me as this case would have to go on the floor next to desk or have to find a small stand to prop it up..

4.CM Storm Trooper - Gaming Full Tower Computer Case with Handle and External 2.5" Drive Dock with Side Panel Window

I am not sure if you need this info but here is the specs of what would be going into a new PC case..

I wouldn't spend too much on a case for an older system, but if I were to pick I would go for the 600T just for its looks

I own a 600t and c70.

The 600t is my main system. Its a nice case. I have but it all apart at this point though. I have a thick 360mm rad in the front and a 30mm in the top.

The problem with a normal top mounted rad in the 600t is the fans make noise through the top mesh. Normally you would put the fans in a space above the frame and bellow the top mesh panel. I found in this configuration the fans made a noise pushing air through the grates.

I like the c70. I have it in od green and its the case for my server. I like it cause I can do push pull on the HDD cages. It looks wicked cool though.

Well eventually sometime done the road I be investing in both of these with new systems but for the time being I can only afford new cases and figured I start off small since most of my spending went into my gaming PC I mentioned..

Also I figured at least this way I would have a new case for when I do upgrade the two systems,plus all I use these for now is burning dvd's and surfing the web and and a few other things that do not require a lot of power..
