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/Bundl...K+4.50GHz+Overclocked+Bundle+?productId=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...Pearl+Gaming+Midi+Tower+Case+?productId=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/Comp...r+Storm+Scout+Gaming+Chassis+?productId=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.
 
thank you sheroo def looking into storm enforcer instead of the Coolermaster Storm Scout

at this moment the storm enforcer is winning hands down
 
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

well the thing what i dont like about them cases is the mesh on the side of the cases

i got 1 like that atm and i really hate it because of the amounth of dust what gets into my rig
 
na wont keep it air cooled for now wont 2 have the best air flow possibly whit minimum of dust intake atm since i got a dog and 2 cast running around the reason 4 not liking the mesh on the sides
 
i have a scout and an R3

the R3 has more room inside for longer GPU cards - but i am not a fan of doors on cases !!!

the R3 is quieter than the scout, only cos it has noise dampening foam in the side panels and top ... but then again it depends on what components are inside it. it pointless having a case made for quietness and putting noist crap in it

the scout doesnt get dusty - i have one fan in the bottom window slot, with a akasa 120mm fan cover on it - does the bizz

it looks very stealthy, and is great if you intend on putting a light show inside it -it was built for lighting up - hence why it comes with three LED fans

so - lights on OR lights off ???

EDIT: the enforcer will get the dirtiest out of the three options
 
well if i was gonne get a case whith window ofc it was going to have light on

its good to hear the scout doesnt get dusty + already has 3 fitted fans what i wanted

the sound i dont really care about olways have headset on ore els the wife nags at me

but coud you explain to me plx y the enforcer woud b the dustiest out of all 3
 
...plx y the enforcer woud b the dustiest out of all 3

the storm enforcer does not have a 200mm fan in the roof (unlike the scout) and the out-take meshing is punched hugely.... this means that when the rig is not used, very large objects and dust can fall in the case.

also, the front intake vents are not spread all over the front bay panels (unlike the scout), and is the only entrance for air to pass in and through the rig. this means that the dust 'wanting' to be sucked through it will congregate more in smaller areas (choking airflow), whereas the scout's front is all-mesh and all-filtered.

here is a closer look:

EDIT: also the enforcer is a higher shine case = more prone to finger marks
