case?

[The_Saint]

Hey there!

I have a probelm: I can`t decide between a COOLERMASTER case or a CHIEFTEC Dragon.

The coolermaster is really pricy but everybody is saying that they are the best cases.

Chieftec is like the ANTEC.

What do I do?

Actually, if you want the best, I like Lian Li. The two you are referring to are VERY different cases. You need to decide which will be best for the type of PC you are going to build, and which one you like the best. Don't worry about what other people say. Have you looked at both? Have you seen them in person? That's what I would do, before deciding. Where in Florida are you? There's a computer show this weekend in Ft. Lauderdale. Or you can see a chieftec at Tigerdirect in Miami. Or call some local computer stores and see if any carry them. CompUSA also carries Chieftec.

That is very good advice...several of the cases I have been interested in online, (because of pictures and flowery accolades from the reseller), have turned out to be unimpressive in person.
The opposite is true as well for cases I ordered that were bought for $ reasons only and turned out to be good purchases. Computer shows, local shops, Lan parties, etc. are best places to find the right case.

Unfortunately I`m in Daytona Beach. So I have BEst Buy and Circuit City and thats it!
So I can only find Antec to take a look at.

Maybe I can call some local PC store though the selection from those shops is nearly inexistent.

Thanks for the input!

Don't you have a CompUSA? They carry Chieftec and I know they have at least one Coolermaster. I wouldn't buy from there, too expensive. You could go look at them there, though.

Theres a CompUSA in Orlando...I might have to go there and check it out!




Thanks
