Which is better for cooling? Energy enough?

I was looking at this case and I was looking to buy it. But I was wondering if it has enough cooling capacity. I dont care if I have to buy the fans because I was going to buy them anyway but Does it have good cooling?:confused:

ok 1) most cases come with fans in them anyway
2)Unless you're going to be overclocking then you went need to worry about cooling too much as the standard fans in these cases should be enough to keep your components at a reasonable temperature.
 
Haven't seen or heard of either of them.. although they look like value cases, so if you don't stress your components much.. i suspect they should be fine
 
Well I would just pick the one with more fans and more room. Personally I wouldn't select either case.
 
I'd go with the Raidmax. It has space for 2 120mm fans(one intake, one exhaust) and it comes with a 80mm fan on the side panel. imo, 120mm fans are better than 80mm fans because they can push more air at a lower RPM, that means more air being taken in/pushed out and less noise.
 
Both cases can take a 120mm fan at the front-bottom.

Case 1 has 2x80mm fans at back, compared to the 1x120mm fan with Case 2. So, case 1 wins here.

HOWEVER, the side fan on Case 2 is directly above the CPU. With Case 1, the fan is in the centre of the side panel, which doesn't help as much. So, case 2 wins here.

I guess it goes down to looks.

Also, this case may be one to look into.

Well since they both kind of rate the same on cooling. I have to choose from looks. :D I think the one with the Alien wins (on my mind).
