Akatsuki No Tobi

Well I've been looking around for a few cases and I've narrowed down my choices to these three cases. I was originally rooting for the NZXT Zero, but am just wondering what others think about these other two cases.

NZXT Zero $125.99 (Shipped/MIR)
1 x 80mm top fan
4 x 120mm side fan
2 x 120mm rear fan
1 x 120mm front fan

XClio A380 $114.98 (Shipped)
1 x 250mm side fan
1 x 250mm front fan
1 x 120mm optional rear fan

Thermaltake Armor $146.99 (Shipped/MIR)
1 x 120mm front fan
1 x 120mm rear fan
1 x 90mm rear fan
1 x 90mm top fan

So which one of these cases is the best overall? My main concern is for temperatures.

I Vote for the XCilo. Not many people have it. It's the cheapest. Sounds like it would push a lot of air. I'm just a little worried about the rear fan being only 120mm when it's up against 2x 250mm fans. Would be nice if it had a top exhaust.

Seriously? NZXT Zero. It's pretty quiet even with all those fans, plus you can swap out components without screwdrivers, a plus in my book. If you drop the $30 for the Sentry it's a pretty sweet-unmodded case.

Everything I've bought of Tt's has been second rate. Their coolers, fans, accessories. All this cheap made in Taiwan feel to it. I'll never buy anything more expensive than a case fan from them.

what is there to buy from TT thats more expensive than a case...maybe their crappy WC kits...

I got a glow mousepad (gf picked it out) and its actually pretty sweet. I gues I havent opened my blue LED fans yet to see how good they are but my case and the fans that came with it all seem nice. Also my TT Venus 12 HSF is pretty sweet.

The only thing I like that they sell is AS5 and it's just repackaged and made by someone else.

I'm gonna say the TT Armor, only because i own one and love it. You can also add another front tray for another 120mm fan.

Well I've been trying to decide for myself on my new build, the Armor or the X-Clio. The Armor is winning out for me because at this point in time I have Tsunami Dream, but the X-Clio looks great also.(specs and looks)

I like the look of the XClio with that big-ass fan out front, but not having easily-accessible ports would be a pain for me. The NZXT has some on the side, which is ok, but the Armor supplies the best placement -- on top.(Correct me if I'm wrong, guys.)
