Better Case???

[lil_striker90]

hey everyone i thought it was time to buy a better, doing my research i have come across too cases ( Thermal Take Soprano vs iCute 9015GA Case) in which i think are the best for that price range i was just wandering whether anyone could tell me which one would produce lower temps and even if there are far better ones that i haven't come across!

thanks guys!

any other opinions?

I like the Thermaltake cases. The Soprano is good and i also like the Thermaltake Armor Series case.

Soprano looks more pleasing to the eye but I'm somewhat strangely drawn to the icute. Looks cleaner inside and I prefer lots of external drive bays.

I'd go for the icute...I think

I'm not partial to either of those cases but if I had to take my pick I think i'd definately go for the Soprano over the iCute. WTH is an iCute, never heard of em before???

Ooh, so the iCute is one of those cases with a 25cm fan on the side.. And an LED one no less. Personally I would go with the iCute, but that's just me

I don't think much of the iCute (name notwithstanding), and the Soprano is okay, but for the money I think it's tough to beat the NZXT Zero case I bought. It's big but light, has lots of fans that are amazingly quiet, and it looks good without looking goofy (I will never buy an alien, transformer, spider, rhino, aardvark, pyramid, etc.etc.etc. case:nono: ).

I agree with Kempez also, I've had the CM Praetorian, 541 m-ATX, and currently setting up a Stacker (not the 830, a bit pricey) for my AMD rig. They're sturdy, look nice, and keep cool.

If you plan on running SLI/Crossfire, make sure you have side-fans and good ventilation... my Praetorian was good until I put in some 7800GTX's and tried to roast them...:yumyum:

Didn`t realize the Soprano had a washed-pvc kinda look to the front of it, all shiny plastic like ?!?!?!

Is this just a bad picture ? I`m sure I seen some1 selling one on OC3D and it looked more matted, quite nice actually.

EDIT: Might`ve been a Praetorian actually. The pvc look doesn`t look good to me.
