Thinking about a new case

Well my birthday is coming up so I figured I would get myself a little something:). Since I getting tired of looking at my computer case I though a new one would be perfect. I build computers for a living and my build count is up to 183 which means I have used most case on the market so I know what I do and don't like but I'm looking for something I have never used before. I have picked a couple that interest me and won't to see what you guys think about them.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103021 this was the first one that caught my eye I have did a couple build with Xclio case and have loved everyone of them.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811517003 this one I'm not sure about looks nice I haven't really heard much about the AZZA cases.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811208009 I have always liked the looks of this case but I'm a little worried about the quality of it I have seen it in person once and I liked it but I never go close enough to it to really see it.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811208029 another Xion I like the green look a lot and I hate blue lights so anything green or red always catches my eye.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119199 I have always liked cooler master cases and this one looks awesome the only thing that throws me off is the Nvidia logo but that can be fixed:D and some people say it is small.


Which one do you think would make for a good case or if you have something you would recommend lets here it I'm open to anything right now.

Just so you know my budget is around $60+shipping

I'd go with the CoolerMaster
The xions are good at making cheap stuff, but CoolerMaster will implement some of their expensive features for a cheap price.

Yea the inside is nice but I hate the front and I would like to have a side window. The cooler master elite 310 is the only one I found so far I like I could easily just get a $100 case but I don't won't to spend to much on my current build because once I reach my goal of $2500(currently have $1100) I will be building a new rig.

NZXT casse are pretty cheap and flimsy that's why I try to stay away from them though there are some good ones most are crappy.

OMFG! Read the 2 star review on that product. HE USED A MAGNETIC SCREWDRIVER and he's complaining about the case design.

Yea I know what an idiot also if you go to the specs and look at the bottom it tells you to use a magnetic screwdriver.

This is a pretty classy looking case with a bit of Blue LED at the front.

Airflow looks decent if you add the extra front fan.

I was thinking about it for a while thought about purchasing the side windows separate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999200 but it would cost more and the 534 has nothing more then the elite 310 does I would just be wasting money.

What about the NZXT Lexa? I know you don't like NZXT, but I watched a buncha reviews on them, and I love them now.

Yes the lexa is a very nice case I have use it once before very sturdy and pretty strong compared to other NZXT cases. I'm don't really won't to spend that much on a case since I won't have this rig for much longer. Right now it seems that the cooler master elite 310 is the best buy for the money I plan on doing some mods for more fans and probably painting the inside I'm just unsure about the size because my current case is a little bigger but I was wanting something bigger then what I have not smaller.

For the price, the godspeed two is a great case:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103025

The fans are flared out, as to give the maximum amount of room inside the case, and they are 180mm fans, so they move more air than a 120mm, but run slower and therefore are less noisy. Plus you get two 80mm top fans, and room to add a 120mm fan in both the front and back, and the best part is all the fans are on a speed controller on the rear panel. Best case for the price right now imo.
