hi all

I wont 2 get my self a new case 4 my new rig

this is the rig what i got http://www.aria.co.uk/Systems/Bundle...roductId=44489

whit mods like d14 8gb ram geforce 560 ti

but now i am debating between these to cases

aim not a case modder so wont to keep this as it is whit best airflow result and to keep dust away

Fractal Design Define R3

http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/...roductId=41375

ever since tom did a review on this i fel in love whit the case but only thing what holds me back it only coms whit 2 fans

so getting a 3d 1 will bump the price up

the 2 case

http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=40813

i like this case allot coms whit 3 fans great price window in side panel

the only thing wat holds me back on this case is the air vents in the plexi glass its not nice

and what aim scared of the most is that it will pull in lot of dust

what duo you think about these cases the ups and dows of it

maby a other case whit simmaler price

thank you in advance

If you want the quiestest case in this price bracket then go for the R3. If you want a bit more bling then maybe the storm enforcer - it has a window with no side vent, good airflow and dust filters on all the intakes.

Try something like the Zalman z9+ as it has better cooling options and cable management. If you're feeling brave try looking at the cubitek tattoo or Akasa Raptor

If you don't plan on water cooling you can save a bit and get the cheaper 690 II LITE Version.
