Looking for a Quality PC Tower Case

    I'm going to be building a new PC soon and I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good quality PC Tower cases?

    My current PC is the Medion MD8833 Q6600 Quad,

    It has 2 dvd bays, 2 hard drive bays, it's very quiet (I changed the original hard drive for a Samsung F1!), has good ventilation and is a solid heavy case.

    I'd love to have a similar tower to that one for my next build.

    Is there any quality PC Towers out there that I should be looking at?

    Coolermaster would be my top pick for a case due to great design and very good pricing.

    Fractal Design Define R3 is another nice case. Linky

    I have a coolermaster HAF 932 and its a great case, loads of room, screwless install for drives, very quite and looks great imo.

    Money no object best case on the market imo is the Lian-Li PC-X500FX. It's not available here yet but expect to pay upwards of €400.

    i went with the HAF922 as i don't have room for the 932 monster :)

    and it looks like the OP is looking for a midi tower so maybe this would be a better choice?

    The HAF 922 is a fantastic bit of kit and not that much smaller than a full 932 case so no worries about future gfx card sizes.

    That X500FX don't look to impressive from the specs and stupidly over priced imho.

    Thanks all for the great suggestions.

    The CoolerMaster 932 is awesome :eek:, I love how quiet it is, but it might be a bit bulky for me.

    I do like the CoolerMaster 912, though;

    Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus - €74 @ Komplett

    That's a good price I'm guessing.

    Interestingly, the cheaper Cooler Master Centurion 5 II - Mid tower
    is only €50 but has the IEEE 1394 firewire connection at the front, whereas the more expensive one doesn't have it.
