Cases

Ok I have 2 cases that I really really like. which case should I get ?

ThermalTake Shark

ThermalTake Eureka
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=13366&GroupID=0

Don't go with thermaltake, they rip off other designs and generally manufacture cheapy cases.

Hmm I noticed that off the last pc I built for osmeone. THey had thermaltake. I was thinking of this Gigabyte one aswell but the only problem is thats its not from MD and i have a trade account with em so its cheaper. But out of the 2 what would you reckon? they deffinately look good.

I like TL for both design and quality. I've put together 2 machines inside of TL cases now, and each time I was extremely happy with the quality of the case.

Anyhow, go with the second option. The Eureka. It has a smoother design, and just looks better imo.

Also, whichever one you buy, make sure to get a large amount of filter to cover up those mesh areas from the inside, otherwise you're gunna get a load of dust into that case. Or so I've heard from a friend who has one. But then again, we live in an extremely dusty area so...

Good luck deciding, I often think that selecting a case is the hardest part of building a computer. Hope you're happy with your choice in the end.

The shark has a placefor a tt watercooling kit though

The BigWater is a decent kit, however I'd personally go for something a bit more... powerful. Something with a dual 120mm radiator would be nice. Expensive and a tight fit but cool nonetheless.

Still, it sounds like you like the Shark. So go with the Shark!

Yea I think ill go with the shark, It has more features and is a bit cheaper. I want one of those quad core intels due for november, well I heard that anyway.

I don't like high profile cases like these, they just look too bloated imo. Give me a sleek Antec Sonata II every day!

Laptops

Oh, yes, this is going to be wild.

Laptops what? Run hotter, have worse specs, are harder to upgrade, cost more? Laptops are useless unless you need a computer on the road...
