Which case to get

Cooler master

Raidmax
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811156062

Case would be used for game, raid would have better cooling?

Anyone know if that raidmax had those screwless drive bays like the cooler?

I'd probably go with the Raidmax. I like that design better than the Centurion.

From what I can see, only the external drives are screwless. The internal HD bays require screws, I believe. I voted for the CM case.

That Raidmax case is pretty sweet..

but I cant tell if its the screwless one hard to tell, they're pretty convinient but I meh.. whats so hard about screwing in a hard drive..

Oh yeah!

Though, Mike. You can 5 1/2 to 3 1/4 bay convertors

I see the Antec 900 and the P182 is not on Newegg any more, what gives!

I voted CM. According to reviews, those things are sturdy as hell!

But if you want like a case with a side window and all those fans and lights then I recommend the NZXT Apollo instead. It's $69-79 and looks better than the Raidmax IMO. And not to mention it has a tool less design too.

So? My case comes with one 3 1/4 bay already! What now!? Beat that!?

I went with the RaidMAX. It looks nice and should be pretty good.

I have owned Antecs best cases the Shark cases and have found this one to be the best of all.

It cools excellent and cable management is a no bainer with it.
