So, here's the deal. I've had an Antec 1200 for quite some time now. Generally speaking, I really liked this case. It's big and stays cool. There are several things that I do not like about it though.
- The washable dust filters are a huge pita to get to.
- despite it's size, cable management is a bitch.
- I don't like how the hard drives face; makes it difficult to hide cables and can make removing hard drives or gpu's a problem as well.
I have been reading various forums, and watching case reviews/unboxings all day today. I'm not sure what case best meets my needs, that has a decent value.
Here is my list of demands:
-
- room for 5 3.5" harddrives, and 1 2.5" ssd
- easily assessable dust filters.
- excellent cable management
- wide enough to accommodate my current cpu heatsink and fan (cooler master 212+)
- the ability to install either a corsair h80 or h100 water cooling solution in the near future.
- Budget: ~$170
