Get the 900 with the HDD. The 900 is good enough for your rig and you get the HDD too. Any reason why you want a full tower (the 1200)? Unless you do tri-sli or crossfirex with WC then i don't see why you need a Full Tower with ur current comp.

The 900 + Caviar Black. Easily.

You don't have enough system to benefit from the added features of the 1200 (mainly its size). If you had big/dual cards or a ton of hard drives I'd point you to the 1200.

Id maybe try to look for another case, the 1200 is nice, and 900, but they are too short in depth for me, what I mean is when my GTX260 was installed, I had a lil over 1 inch of space between the end of it and the drive bay thing that runs vertically up and down on the front of the case. I wanted a deeper case to have more room to play with.

For the Price, the Lian Li Lancool is a bit nicer, even if it isn't painted black inside.

if i were you i would spend the money on other components, the athstetics are the last thing to worry about. its all about performance. get a new cpu cooler mobo and hdd ive been using xblade style cases on alot of my clients builds. not bad atall. plenty enough room even fit a v8 cooler in one and they are pretty much the tallest

for cable management they are a pain, but a dremel and some wire mesh for the offside panel and you are good to go

I wasn't going to comment on this since it seemed that the OP had his mind made up between the two cases but I agree with this comment. The 1200 is large and but it's very shallow so despite its size it gets cramped pretty quick. With hard drives mounted in the cage near the video cards things get VERY cramped. I have been considering ditching mine for something with a little more room.

I would go for the 900 and HDD as well, the 900 is still (and prolly always will be) a great case.

Who doesnt need more HDD space?


On the other hand el gappo made a really valid point


PS seen you were from I used to live Down Railway terrace just off Clifton Rd in your neck of the woods
