New case advice

[chris8224]

Hello everyone,

I need some help with choosing a new case for my rig as my old one isnt good enough for cooling any more.

I am on a tight budget so the case MUST be £70 or less (i know this limits my options).

I was thinking of the HAF 912, what do you guys think?

Thanks, Chris

Other options but slightly over budget

Fractal R3

CM 690 II ADV

plus 5 more posts and you can get FREE DELIVERY from Aria

Thanks for the reply, also i had noticed the free delivery from aria before hand

(Awesome deal)

Hmmm, still a tough decision to make i do like the 690 II advanced (strong possibility)

and the R3, but the R3 is just that bit too expansive

Take a look at my case, Zalman Z9 Plus, you can put up to 7 fans in there.

690 is a good case I have it myself, the reason I mentioned the R3 is because with the free delivery the money you would of paid for it adds up to the price of the case. But if you want to save a bit the HAF is still a good case to go with.

Think the HAF 912 is a great case, the CM Storm enforcer is also in that price range and is very similar to the HAF.

Ok so it looks like a choice between the HAF 912 and the 690 II ADV

But what to choose

If you ever consider water cooling go for the 690 as you can fit 2 * 240 rads in it, one in the top the other in the bottom...

I did some checking earlier and all I could find out was late June or early July but i'm guessing it's late June seen as there are already reviews out there. Hopefully Aria will have them i'm buying it strait away when they do
