Just ran across the LIAN LI ARMORSUIT PC-P50. Might be able to push the budget to get this case. Would it be a worthy contender against the other cases I have in the OP? I have always wanted to get a Lian Li.

Kind of apprehensive to move from my quality Stacker 830 to a lesser case such as the Haf or Sniper. (I am not trying to offend anyone, I am just talking about build quality.)

Steel is strong, no doubt, but it is not aluminum. Therefore it is less quality in my eyes. That is all I am referring to.

I just found this thread while searching and would like to throw my input in here.I've been shopping for a case for my first build and had been going for a CM 690.But my grandparents said they wanted to get me something on the build.

I was looking at the Scout and the HAF 922 and personally I prefer the HAF because it seems to be of the same build quality but costs 70 euro less.But after looking at both of them,there's no bad choice.But my vote go's to the Scout and the HAF 922
