Which case?

[Byson]

Replacing my Coolermaster Cosmos S and need help choosing between the following:

Coolermaster silencio 550: http://www.coolermas...product_id=6722

BitFenix Shinobi: http://www.bitfenix....hinobi#overview

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Anidees AI-6B: [/font]http://anidees.com/en/products.html

I would go for the Coolermaster silencio 550 because it has a lot for the money and it's only £60

my issue with silencio is that it has no ventilation through the top, i own a 4870x2 which runs at ~80c full load, so its a bummer :/

What sort of case are you looking for? Silent case or a High Air Flow one? Also, what form factor? Full tower, mid tower etc...

 

[WillSK]

The fractal cases are supposed to be good. Maybe look into them as well?

 

[Byson]

silent with good airflow, midi tower, black interior. I have a h60 to go with it.

i choose the coolermaster silencio over the fractal r3

 

[PetrolHead247]

In that case i recommend either the Fractal R3 or Corsair 550D

Looks alone, I like the Shinobi best of those 3.

would be perfect but it's beyond me why they put an ugly silver panel on the front and covers for intake fans...

What? Are you looking at the right cases? The 550D is completely black and the R3 can be found in black, white, silver and grey

what im saying is the r3 is very similar to the silencio, just more expensive. whereas the 550d has a silver front panel ui (were you put your usb etc in) along with pointless covers on top of the fans that allow airflow throughout the case; major design flaw in my opinion, especially since once the covers are taken off, very ugly mesh/screwholes are expossed. one thing i dont like is exposed mesh :/ that why hidden airtake alternatives found on the silencio and anidees wins over many other cases. never the less the interior and airflow of the 550d is perfect, however the exterior is a fail from my perspective.​

I kinda see what you're saying (i think), so in that case defo go with the R3. It may be more than the Silencio but it's more than worth it. The R3 is one of the best silent mid tower cases on the market

the anidees is a sex machine, but is priced at ~£95

i will consider it more i guess

i would get the anidees, seems to have good air flow, Aluminium/steel construction and kinda reminds me of my tj07 which = win

Yep, I totally agree with you about those screwholes. 100% failure.

I have a Fractal R3 and I love it!
