It's the same with a car. Would you rather have the bling-bling-chav-mobile with a shitty 1.2 EcoDiesel engine or the semi-rusting-peugeot-106 with a souped up turbocharged 3.2L engine? As outlawlol says - get a decent case like the Antec 100 and fit a couple of extra fans and spend the extra money on hardware.
