Antec 900 vs Lian Li K62

[poker_jake]

I cannot decide between the Antec 900 and Lian Li K62. I like all the fans of the Antec, especially the option for a side fan for CFX cooling, but am still leaning towards the Lian Li.

I would get the LIAN LI.
1.Better Cable Management
2.Inside also painted black.

I second the Lian-Li as it's my case. It has awesome cable management, and I find it far superior to the Antec 900. (I built my cousin a gaming computer with the Antec 900, so I know)

 

[poker_jake]

How about the Antec 900 v3?

 

[claptonman]

For that much money, you could go full tower and get a really nice case. The Lian Li has plenty of cooling.

I hate making decisions

Here some more help.
Search on Google about the Horrible cable management on the Antec 900 and voila.
Most people have to drill holes on the antec 900 to improve the cable management.
Some examples from the forum itself.

And as Voyagerfan already told you he is using the case and loves it so.........
Since most of the computer decisions are influenced by reviews,so it should be easier for you to decide now.

The 900 is not really that good of a case by today standards, when it was first released it was, but dated now.

The LIAN LI is alot better case. Equal in cooling and better cable management, alot more features.
Look at the NZXT Tempest EVO too.

 

[poker_jake]

Thanks, pretty sure I'm going with the NZXT Tempest EVO.

 

[mihir]

If space is not a problem then I would get a FULL-Tower like the CoolerMaster HAF932

 

[StrangleHold]

The Tempest EVO, if you look at the spec for size, its more or less a full case. Dont really know why they call it a mid.

Good quality case.

 

[voyagerfan99]

The K62 can be classified as a large mid-style too haha

 

[StrangleHold]

The K62 can be classified as a large mid-style too haha

K62 is a good case too. Great tool-less setup. The EVO is alittle bigger and has 2 front fans plus the side fan.

 

[poker_jake]

Also saw a fan controller by NZXT that would look great on the front and quiet the 6 fans down a bit

 

[StrangleHold]

Never used the Fan controller, dont know how well it works. Heard it was hell getting it to fit, but it will fit. LOL

That's one of the cases I'm looking at. 22.30" x 10.00" x 21.70". "Mid tower."

Who decides that, the manufacturer or Newegg?

Manufacturers do. To me that one and the EVO should be classified as a full.

 

[poker_jake]

Nice looking case.

Thats a good question.

Even this



@OP Totally forgot to mention this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139003

I would get the corsair.

That one should be too. I kinda like a side window though.

They might just do it so they will show up in the mid tower list on look ups. That way they dont end up looking like a slightly small full.
