Default COOLER MASTER COSMOS vs Antec 900
Hello, Im trying to find the perfect case for my new build. I plan on overclocking a lot. I like these 2 cases but if you have another good case in the $100-$200 range. I have owned an Antec 900 in the past and the only I dont like is 1) cable management is bad and 2) Collects major dust. As for the Cosmos I like the design and what ive read about it is good, but its very expensive...199.99 plus shipping all the way to ALASKA.....

What im looking for is Cooling, thats pretty much it.

Any Suggestions on other cases, comments on either of these?

I like the cosmos but the only thing keeping me from getting it is the price. I personally own the 900 and love it. Invest in some canned air and your all good. The top fan is so much bigger in person, about as big as a dinner plate.

do you think its just worth it to get the Antec 900 and get 2 more 120 mm fans and buy filters for it?

Air filters reduce the air flow too much...maybe I should just get Cosmos?

Go for the Cosmos, or the Cosmos S. I love my cosmos 1000. After a few cuts, cable management is not an issue. look up user tjharlow, he has had great mods to his cosmos, there are even videos from him on youtube. I am doing the cable management mods right now.

Antec 1200?

Though I wouldn't recommend getting it from Newegg, considering how much they bloated the price of it.

I like my 900. I just wish it wasn't always getting clogged with dust :P
