PC Cases?

[Samanosuke]

Hi all

I'm going to put an order through in the next couple of days and I wanted some advice on airflow in the cases.
I am thinking of going for the InWin Black Dragon Rider because:

- It's got plenty of room for me to stick my hands in for future upgrades
- the HDDs can be fitted toolessly (as soon as I get the PC I will be putting in my 4 HDDs)
- the HDD bays are facing me when the case is open which makes my life so much easier
- reviews online said it had good airflow and was a solid case

Does anyone on the forum own it? if so, how do you find it?

Which cases come recommended by you guys? I would prefer something with the HDD bays facing me insted of facing the inside of the case, and a definite bonus is mounting stuff on rails.

Thanks :turned:

The Dragon Rider is a solid case, the most recommended one is the Maelstrom T900 because it's relatively cheap and has great cooling but there aren't any bad bad cases to choose from.

Thanks Phoenix I think I will go ahead with the Dragon Rider, it looks pretty (me shallow? never!)

That is a BYOOOTIFUL case!

I've had the very similar Dragon Slayer mATX case before, and I loved it. I think you will be happy with that choice

There's some pictures of the white one here.

=( now I dont know which to choose (again). Im looking at the InWin Black Dragon Rider and the CoolerMaster HAF X 942.

Is the build quaility of the Dragon Rider as good as the HAF X? and although I watched and read several reviews, in the opinion of you who own these cases, does the HAF X bring anything earth shattering to the table that the Dragon Rider doesnt?

HELP

I love both those cases, but i'd probably go for the HAF X 942 as it looks just that little bit more 'badass'. I don't think it offers anything substantial that the InWin doesn't
