FT02 vs 650D vs 600T

post #1 of 13

Thread Starter 
Hey guys,

Which of these cases do you think I should go with? Other suggestions welcome of course.

The build will have:
- ATX board
- 2500K with either Antec Kuhler 920 or Megahalems
- 6970, Direct CU II for the 600T or 650D or a reference one for the FT02
- AX750
- 1 DVD
- 1-3 HDD

600T - $345NZ
650D - $400NZ
FT02 - $345NZ (or $325 for silver instead, haven't decided on colour)

Thanks in advance for the help!

I would get the FT02 personally, over here its like $50 more than both the 600T and 650D. I would also get the Megahalems instead because the FT02 is better for air cooling.

Go for the Silverstone FT02. It's different and uses a 90 degree layout so hot air raises to the top...The other two cases has some what a standard layout....This way you will have the experience of both worlds...

Owned a 600T and returned it for a FT02, you won't regret it.

Aside, I actually kind of hated the 600T. The fan controller is a gimmick, it gets dusty, it's loud (mesh side panel is a joke), and all of my components ran super hot. Probably great for water though.
