Okay, so I reckon it's time to upgrade to a full tower. I want something with lots of features for $200 or under. Also, it has to be black, with blue leds. I was thinking about the Haf X and replacing all the fans with blue led fans. I need lots of room for adding a cooling solution (H70) and lots of drive bays for my half dozen hard drives. It needs to look clean and have good cable management options. I plan on adding my second 5850 in the next month or two so it needs lots of room to breathe. I'm all about aesthetics and it needs to look good sitting beside my razer products. I plan on getting some Razer decals to 'brand' the tower as well.

Any thoughts?

either the Corsair 600T -due to sheer build quality and features which are plainly just done right ( see the vid on it at ncix or wherever ya want really) Cable management and flip out dust filters are the shiz. Few cases around (save the obsidian 800D) with this build quality, features and look. Was hard not to order this instead

or the nxzt phantom ( I should see mine shipped today! ) I ordered the white version but there is also a black and a red version. I wanted something different and went white! amazing cable management in a Eatx case. Amazing cooling, integrated 20 watt fan controller, oodles of room for anything and supports up to three, yes count em three 200 or 230mm fans! also three 120mm and one 140mm. The only one that isnt dust filtered is the front ( and i ordered a filter) not to mention this case is vitually tool-less.

see the cases/chassis threads for photos of each case but also look online for reviews.

When I get the phantom I will post photos and my own thoughts - Steve-O is also invited by when it arrives for a gander at it and a pre xmas drink ( well lets add a letter s to that word shall me? )
