Budget Case !

hi guys

i need to buy a new case cuz i have some generic one with 2 fans (120mm front and 90mm rear )and the temperature isn't so good , but im low on budget

so here what i can afford :

1)CM 690 2 )Antec 300 3) Thermaltake M9

and does changing the case really help with keeping cpu temperature low , and which is better for big cpu coolers !??!

The only one of those I have experience with is the M9. I used that case for my GF's build, got it for $50 w/ free shipping. I feel it is a pretty good case. Has good airflow, and the mesh at the front helps stop dust from getting in the case. I have a Tuniq Tower installed on her CPU and the case holds it with a little room to spare.

I am not a fan of the slots on the side panel, but I guess they help with airflow???

Another thing I like about it is the PSU is at the top of the case, not the bottom like the 900, and 690. Not that that's a bad thing, I just prefer top mounted PSU's.

Here's a pic of my GF's setup inside the M9 case, I had to paint it though, it just looked god awful with that plain silver.

The 932 HAF is amazing

I have the CM590, and I love it. My Scythe Mugen that I was using fit with an inch or two to spare. And it has more fan holes than most cases. But that also means buying more fans...-GeordiLaForge-

i was planning on buying mugen2 but i dont think that it fits in the case im using so for now im gonna change the case ! i dont know what to get the 590 or the 690?!

Another thing I like about it is the PSU is at the top of the case, not the bottom like the 900, and 690. Not that that's a bad thing, I just prefer top mounted PSU's.n ch5richards

The CM 690 is the largest of the 3 and also has the best cooling.UltimateGamer95
