there are sooo many cases on the Frontosa price list..

any of them actually worth the cost?

If you could post if you have been particularly impressed by one, doesnt matter the brand!

cheers
 
Well I really like my case. Really big, great cooling options (adjustable fan knob on the front is great). The Scout is also good, just smaller obviously. In general, the more expensive cases are well worth it. I have replaced parts in my rig 3 times now and each time it was so easy working in such a big space. And my temps are just awesome. Cable management is also good, the bulges on the side hide all my cabling, leaving more space for air to flow freely. Spend the money once on an awesome chassis is my opinion, rather than always having to struggle with installations and worry about temps.

What's your budget? I'd say look at:

CoolerMaster CM690
CoolerMaster CM690 II
CoolerMaster HAF922

Those are all great cases with solid build quality and are available at a decent price.
 
I have a Cooler Master Storm Scout CASE its cheeper then the ones above. . I really love my case
 
Obsidian 800D, though have no idea if its available at Frontosa. But looking at what this guy was able to do with it.... :cool: Definately want to try out a water cooled rig one day.
 
Gaming + Lan Rig - then I would also go with the 2 options of the Antec Mini P180 or the Scout
 
I like the way Antec cases are designed - BUT they use proprietary brackets so be wary. But the P182 always turns me on.

Look - what kind of aesthetics do you want? Monolithic, perspex sides, tons of LEDs, reflective, LAN style, small, large? It's impossible to recommend a case without knowing your preference first. You getting rid of that Aurora?
 
Upgrade bug? :D :)

Well you saw mine so the 690II can only be better.

Don't worry it is the same with me.

Since I told you 2 days ago that I am not spending anymore money on PC I have contemplated 2x 23", 1x 27", another HDD for RAID, a netbook for GF, Corsair H50.
