HAF XM or Storm Trooper?

post #1 of 12
8/2/12 at 8:52pm
Thread Starter 
I'm getting a new case. I love both of these cases. I like the Haf xm interior, but I don't like the exterior too much. On the trooper, I don't like the interior all that much, but I love the exterior. I think the hard drive cages and drive bays on the trooper look super ugly, but the outside is awesome.

To note, I don't use like 9 hard drives. Only 2. Idk if a full tower is needed. Which do you guys think I should get?
