So from my last thread, I was looking at building a full tower case from scratch. After long thought and realizing that case companies invest loads to get their cases spot on, II am deciding to buy one.
Now, before anyone says that a full tower is stupid, when I get a job/apprenticeship, I am going to save up for a completely overkill build with custom water loops etc. So I will want a full tower to accommodate the rads. I am also looking for this to be the case that I carry with me for a long time. I am thinking of using the case for at least 10 years or maybe even longer. This is why the case will have to require massive amounts of room for cable management.
So far I have my mind set on the Corsair 750D ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ), but a few have caught my eye too.
The NZXT Phantom 530: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The Aircool X-Predator: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] but I am not keen on the window but that can be changed
The Nanoxia Deep Silence 5: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] I would then proceed to make a large window for this.

I do suppose the Fractal is a good choice, just re-create the R4 window just a bit bigger.
The 750D is all I would need ever and the NZXT has concealed rad support at the top. so many decisions.

If you like the h440's I'd go with one of those they have excellent rad support and they look pretty awesome you'd be able to fit a good amount of hardware into.

Full tower is stupid, get an N200.

I think the 900D looks horrible IMO. Rather get a cheap case then mod it to crap, then if you ruin it then it's no big loss.

Yeah. I'm not spending 200+ quid for a case. that is stoopid.
750D is at the top of my budget at 120 ish.

Its still corsair though. So you're paying 120 for like 60 Quid's worth of case. I'd get the Define or something and pretty that up.
It's the same chassis as the arc so it has rad support and you could mod in a nice top so it took more radiators there too.

Tempting. Just I like the brushed aluminium look of the 750D, but I could get the Arc XL and cut a nice window in it.
