Hi,
i have a old generic mid tower case that needs replacing.
i was looking at buying:
Coolermaster CM690 Dominator with 4 extra fans and a fan controller
£ 83.19 inc p&p

or

Antec Nine Hundred 900 with the top 200mm fan + window
£84.10 inc p&p

Could any one help me out here

i was origanally going to spend no more than £50
now i will pay around £85.

open to offers from anyone

I would get the coolermaster 690 (I'm actually running down to fry's tomorrow for it) as It already has holes cut out for cable management. the antec 900 II has pre-cut holes while the original does not, but is a bit more expensive.

but, in all honesty, both these cases are about the same quality and performance. either one would be a perfect choice and it should really just come down to looks.

CM690 will give you great airflow and its pretty good for wiring. It's a great case, I would go with that. Plus you get all of that and a fan controller for less than the 900.

Have you looked at the Antec P180? It's my fav case due to how quiet it is.

Thanks i think it will be the Coolermaster then!

Coolermaster CM690 FOR SURE! If and when you get it, as soon as you take it out of the box you will fall in love with it. Tons of room, especially for a mid tower, really good cooling, great cable management, basically toolless design, and looks great.

if you have any doubts, just take a look through the mods in the CM690 thread, there should be a link in my sig.

Both are good cases with good air flow. The CM has better cable management (I've heard) but no side window and no 200mm top fan.

isnt the p180 quite small?

No, I think you might have your models mixed up. I've had SLI hooked up in one.
