tehownage · 01-30-2006, 05:36 PM

Which case would you guys prefer, these are my two choices:

Thermaltake SViking
(i like the lcd feature on this one)
http://www.3dxtreme.net/index.php?id...altakesviking1

or
Chenming ATX-602

I also have a cold cathode light so i'll add it to the case

I would go with the Chenming ATX-602 because it has more features. You mostly need cooling in a computer and it looks like it has better cooling options avalible.

This should be in the Cases forum, and its gona be moved, but id say the Thermaltake for build quality, and looks.

Thermaltake SViking

**Praetor** · 01-30-2006, 06:58 PM

Chenming602 for the far easier to workwith case, less stupid bling bling and ... the perpendicular drive cages

**dragon2309** · 01-30-2006, 07:27 PM

personal opinion here, but both of those cases are butt ugly..... sorry, im not recommending either of them

tehownage · 01-30-2006, 07:43 PM

not everyone can afford the best ones, anyways this is gonna be my first custom build

I would go with the Chenming ATX-602 hands down.
