Im building a new rig with and am deciding between the two cases. Which one will be better for me? the computer will be used for both gaming and multitasking with movies, music, etc. Airflow and cooling is more important to me than the sound level.

Heres my build-
CPU- AMD 1090t
GPU- HIS 5870
Mobo- ASUS M4A87TD EVO
RAM- 4 gb Corsair Dominator
PSU- corsair 650tx

let me know which one will be best for me and keep my system the coolest
 
If you care about airflow and cooling i would grab a different case, both of those don't really have a good cable management system.

I think you'd be better of with one of these:

CoolerMaster Storm Scout

CoolerMaster Storm Sniper

CoolerMaster HAF 922/932

CoolerMaster 690 II Advanced (new)

They all offer better cable management which is needed for good airflow. All of them also come with plenty of fans and are in the same price range.

Good case for sure, but with the esception of the Apollo, I'm not sure it can ever match the others in airflow...only one front fan and two side fans to suck air in, and you have to buy all but the front one.

Cable management is tight in a storm scout. That is... if you run SLi or XFire. Hell this is my cable management and i'm using a modular psu.

Keep in mind, this an older pic as I've managed to sneak the 24 pin under the cards.

highly recommend the antec 902, same features as the 900, painted black, and does offer good cable management behind the motherboard tray.
 
I think im going with the coolermaster 690 II. It seems to be a pretty kick ass case with decent air flow and cable management at a great price.
 
^ Good case, that.

You know, now that I look at it, the chassis on the Scout is actually VERY similar to the one in the NZXT Gamma/M59/Lexa S, which in turn is very similar to the Beta EVO. Interesting...
