    Goodnight guys,

    I'm looking for a new case... it must be a full-atx case... the only thing is that I haven't too much money. I'm not going to use a watercooling sysem..only premium air cooling.

    Which case do you suggest ?

    Thank u :D

    Haf 932 still works. But it's hideous.

    Isn't it a mid-tower case ?

    I don't like very much the HAF932...I prefer more elegant chassis...

    Again... isn't this a mid-tower case ? I'm looking for a full-tower case :)

    Um, I think the NZXT 810 Switch is quite affordable and quite a good looker.

    Oh, very nice case.. :D

    What do you think about this beast :rock: (probably I could get it for free)

    The brand is not too much known...but the case seems very very good. Isn't it ?

    It's also very large and made of steel. You'll have a difficult time of carrying it. If you'd want it and could get it for free, go for it but unless you're watercooling I wouldn't bother.

    The RV-02 and the FT02 are still cases to consider. They're quite nice and have some epic cooling arrangements.

    If you've got the money the Cosmos II and the 800D are choices as well. But if you real and epic cases. Lian Li's aluminium line, the A71 I think is a full tower made of aluminum. Gorgeous and moddable too. :) Also if you're getting that mega case. Fit a M-ITX board on there. Just because you can.

    I really like the Silverstone and Lian Li chassis :jawdrop: :blush: I think that sooner or later I'll buy one :D

    Why do you say I'll have difficult to carry it (jou jye) ?

    Because it's the size of a very very large child or a small bear. That and it's monstrously impractical. Unless you need extra large XL-ATX motherboards or Tri-SLI/4GPUs there's no point to is. Unless of course you're planning to take a dremel and a drill to destroy and make a monsterously awesome bit of kit with it.

    If it's aluminum however...I might consider it, but it's still monstrously impractical. I wish they still made the ATCS 840 though, that case was epic. But if you want full ATX, Lian li, on a budget? HAF 932 and maybe the 810.

    On a serious budget? Grab the Carbide or 300 for cheap simplicity, Mid Towers are still useful.

    Why exactly do you want a full tower?

    That's where the confusion is really. Full ATX is just a mid tower case, that's full ATX.

    A full tower... why :S? If you're not WCing what's the point?

    As people have said why you need full tower case when the midi towers are more suitable since your not watercool and most full tower suck on air only as they are not designed for it
