Case suggestions?

Been looking to build a second rig and use my old parts to build a PC to frag my gilrfriend or buds when they come over. Now I want to pick up a new case for myself.

I was looking at the Thermaltake Shark or Tsunami Dream.
Power supply will be a 500w Ultral X-Connect. (ATX) Any suggestions?

those are nice cases. u could also look at a coolermaster CM Stacker. that case is awsome. i just got one last month.

Yup, you really should consider the stacker, it's the best case i've ever used. But it's BIG!

Well I have the Tsunami Dream and it's a nice mid tower case overall, though it's not really roomy inside when u start putting ur parts in it. The PSU was a little difficult getting it, but i found if u remove the device bracket at the top of the case and the rear case fan, it should slide in somewhat smoothly. If you decide to get the Tsunami, get one with the window

Coolermaster looks awesome but looks both very expensive and bulky and the Shark is so freaking sleek.

I really like my super lanboy. It weights like 2 ounces empty. And its quite small if you like that kinda of thing.

I rather enjoy my Aspire X-Dreamer II

I'm into mid towers full towers have to much space and are harder to get good airflow with out souding like a jet turbine

yeah as much as i like the simple x-dreamer 2 cause i have one its just such a quickie case if you know what i mean that it tends to rattle and stuff. also theres not alot of places you can hide wires and stuff

wire hideing / clean look just takes effort... in an case

yeah im not saying that it's impossible its just difficult :P i got it down i think only 4 wires exposed.

i was proud of myself. btw do you use all the fan bays neon? and does your case window rattle a bit due to the fan?
