Post screenshots so we can pick without googling everything.

FT02 since it comes with the fans. The AP 181's have a higher noise/cfm ratio than the AP-31 but that's because they're larger fans.

lol ok

Correct me if I am wrong. But do either four of those cases have the option to add a fan/s to the side door?
That fan makes a big difference with GPU load temps. I could not imagine running my comps without one.

Although if I had to pick one of the four cases. I would go with the Silverstone PS06.

actually the ft02 has a special cooling system 3 fans on the bottom to cool all the components with the rotated mobo thingy so no side fan needed i believe that the define has 140/120mm fan slot on the side if a piece of a foam is removed

sorry for bad english

 

[Precision_PC]

Correct, just looked them over some more.
The Fractal does have a mount for a fan on side panel.

Really this all boils down to your price range, if you even have one.
I voted in the poll for the PS06. But if I had the cash I'm going with FT02.
Did not realize how nice that case was until I had a better look.

so you say i go with ft02 and call it a day?

 

[Precision_PC]

Pretty easy choice if your ready to spend the money.
Actually. How about comparing that case to other cases in its price range?
Never hurts to shop around more. I've had numerous buys that I end up second guessing.

Go for the FT02 if you're air cooling (it's not half bad for water cooling too, if you go that route).

well i'm gonna wait till the poll ends and see what will other people say before buying and thanks you helped me a lot +rep

 

[crashdummy35]

Out of those 4 voted the FT02.

But I'm going to be trying one of these here soon: BitFenix Merc Alpha. That's one helluva case for 39 bucks.

Thing with the FT02 is the space imo... If you have a decent card it basically is touching the fans at the bottom. And if you ever wanted to go w/c then i see no room for a RAD and it seems just a big squeeze for $230 imo. But yes it is a great case for air cooling no doubt.

No problem. There are quite a few case options.
Was reading Maximum PC a month or so ago, and came across the Silverstone RV03. It beat out seven other cases as far as load temps in a case round up they put together.

i like the clean look of the Fractal Design Define XL Black Pearl

 

[Ace Telekinesis]

None of them. Get the Coolermaster HAF 912 Plus or Advance
