Default Centurion or Praetorian?? please

i am split between decisions here. What I want this
but i need to cut costs a bit. I was wondering if this would do fine.
(the 2nd choice has only 2 fans)

I like the look the centurion more but liked the cooling on the praetorian much better. Then again, the centurion has a mesh front. Someone please help me with this decision.

Thanks,
Josh

Over heating matters man, if your components are going to generate large amounts of heat, then you should consider the best case with the best fans and the larger number of fans, so if your system is going to heat up, then I recommend the first choice.

Otherwise, if the system is just normal and will work fine with just 2 fans, then the second choice will be great specially that it looks nicer, at least to me.

That’s because they are a derivative of the same word. A praetor is a roman magistrate / consul
