Addtronics case 6890 or 6896?

[Guest]

I'm building a new computer and have narrowed it down to the 2 full tower Addtronics cases 6896 and 6890. I am planning on using either a swiftech MC370 or Globalwin FOP38 fan on a 133A based board. I wanted to get opinions on whether the mesh grill on the 6890 would make a big difference with the noise isssue. It seems to me that having such a huge mesh portion would cause even more noise.

Just wanted to hear some opinions from owners before I buy.

Thanks.

The ET6896A is an improved version of the 6890. The noise should be almost the same on either one. The 6896 cools better though, and was designed in response to the suggestions of users who had the 6890.

Also, the 6896 is the one with the large grill, not the 6890. The old 6890 <i>may</i> be slightly quieter, but the fan makes more difference, noise wise, than the case.

Hope that helps.
