So I have been looking around and Ive seen the Corsair Air 540 and 240,I like the 240 better becuase of more 3.5 drives support

but the 540 only has 2 drives,any good cube cases out there like the 540 or 240(or in between) for about 150 dollars or less?

EDIT: FORGOT TO MENTION MY MOTHERBOARD IS ATX.

Doesnt just have to be for water cooling, if you fill it full of low RPM air flow fans u would have an incredibly cool environment with loads of room for HDD and expansion later down the line!!! Any I know of people that have more than one PC in that case!! Great cube case I have to say, not to mention the stunning looks when full of the right colour LED fans.... I say go for it mate it's a great case I have seen a few before and the build quality is on PAR with Corsair and NZXT

I'm glad I popped in here.  For a long time I favored the air 540 as my next case until I decided my next build was going to be water cooled, and it doesn't hold large enough radiators.  I may have seen the core x9 before and passed it up without giving it a 2nd glance because it's ugly, but the setups you can achieve make it suddenly a lot more attractive lol..

The reason I wouldent have bought it firstly is becuase: Thermaltake.

in the past they made stupid desicions and just give a bad taste in your mouth,this case tough might be actually be a buy for me!

Every company makes bad decisions at some point.

They can produce nothing but crap for years, then have 1 truly great product.. and it's easy to overlook that if you see it and immediately dismiss it because of the name attached to it.

 

Things work out a lot better for you if you can drop brand allegiances and take every piece of equipment for what it is :)

Thermaltake Core X5, Cooler Master HAF XB EVO or Silverstone Grandia GD09B (Great case, I have it)? Cube that fits ATX.
