Which Case To Buy

611 Views 12 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  KamuiRSX
I made one thread awhile back but now I've looked into a few more cases and I'm going to ask again with better choices it seems.

NZXT Beta Evo - $50
NZXT Tempest Evo - $50
Thermaltake V9 Black Edition - $60

Or something else...I'm trying hard to stay below the $70 envelope but even cheaper is always a plus for me


If you choose other, please post and give me a suggestion

EDIT - nice ninja edit! I am voting now.
id go for the Thermaltake
good ventilation
nice looks
pretty roomy
The NZXT Tempest Evo is a beautiful and well made case. I'd go with that one.

In the end though, as long as your case is good quality, it's very much down to preference.

Skip the Thermaltake v9 imo it's just a cheap knockoff of the antec 900
Here's a video describing the downfalls:



I would definitely go with the tempest evo b/c it has much better looks than the beta evo( I don't like the bezel design on the beta evo) and you get a nice window. Plus you get the fans you need and by the time you get fans for the beta evo it wouldn't be worth it.

Not the V9 but the V9 Black Edition. They made a lot more changes to the V9 Case in the Black Edition verson....

The only thing I really don't like about the V9 BE is that there are still no cable management holes but in most of the video reviews, they do state that there's room behind the HDD Bay to hide almost all the cables if you're willing to put forth the effort.

I vote - NZXT Tempest Evo

Looks like a nice solid case.

Ah my bad. Though just out of curiosity what are the changes they made besides the black paint job?

^Looks like they added a side fan. Not sure what else though. Knowing Thermaltake though, It's probably very flimsy and not that great for cable management.

Out of those three, I'd definitely get the Tempest Evo.

They added the 230mm side fan and made it black and apparently I have somehow crossed my reviews up...sorry I have literally looked at 60 different case reviews on Hardware Secrets trying to pick out a new case. It seems that those 2 things are the only differences between them beside that this one has a solid side instead of a window. I don't know why but I seem to be moving away from liking the Window's on cases now and want solid sides.

Well....it seems the Tempest Evo is on the top of the list...I just wish the side didn't look so god awful and had a larger fan on the side as well.

Local shop has the Evo for $50...I don't think they have registered that there are 2 different versions of the Tempest.
