Ok I have been looking at these two different pc cases for about an hour now and simply can't decide which one to get, help?

They are:

1. Coolermaster Full Tower Chassis, Storm Scout, Black, No PSU (Bot [CM-SCOUT] - R988
Found here: Clicky
More info: Clicky

2. GMC X7-X Station ATX - with 2x LCD (Temp+FAN), No PSU - [ATX] - [X7X-STATION] - R544
Found here: Clicky
More info: Clicky

I'm not too concerned about the price, just which would be the better case to get, I would like to know which one you would go for and why? for example... I like the Scout since it has like this military look to it and just looks awesome, but I like the GMC one since it comes with alot of extras and innovative features.. :wtf: :confused:
 
No ways man. Don't spend any money on it. Mine is a Gigabyte chassis. Not sure how much it costs. I would NEVER spend a grand on a case. What does a case do? Spend the money on the internals. imo. Lemme see if I can find the type of case I have. It's brilliant, simple, smooth, streamline, sleek. alles.

Gigabyte™ X3 Chassis

the extra toys are not as important as the airflow.

If you can afford the scout... i'd rather go for that.

Agree with the spicy one.
Always been a cheap ass when it comes to chassis, but the scout gave me a serious thumbs up :erm:
Added a 212 and a sickleflow to it and for a mid-sized pick up and go, its worth every penny. System hasnt gone above 30 degrees, according to speccy and speedfan, so far so yeah!

Then again if you don't too much care about, whatever your taste is, the CM 690II is always a win :P
The plus sells for a few bucks less then the scout as well I think.

EDIT: Oh yeah, bought my chassis and psu from NGR and the guys there were really helpful.

Go for the scout. R1k on a case is really not that much at all. Remember all other components you will eventually have to replace, but if you buy a good case it can easily last 10 years or more. And the airflow in the scout is awesome, prolonging the life of all components.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, right now I have a basic gigabyte case, so I want to get a nice new case and move my components to that , then I will eventually get a new motherboard, cpu ect.
