Help on Case choice!

[TheComputerGeek_48]

Hi, I have the opportunity to buy a really good condition Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 for $60. Should I get it, or should I get some other full tower case after saving a little more.
Help would be appreciated! Thanks! 😀

My Rig,
Core i3 2100 (want to upgrade to Ivy on Black Friday)
ECS P67 H2-A2 SLI (It's one of the few great motherboards that ECS has made)
Muskin 2x2GB DDR3 1333Mhz
Zotac GTX 560
Antec 300 Illusion
Antec HCG-750
DVD-Burner
1TB Seagate HD

That Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 looks great at that price.

It's a little old and a used case I suppose, but as long as it's in a good condition and given the fact that it normally would cost about 3 times as much ...... 😉

Besides, that little bit of hardware doesn't need a full tower.

Anyone else have anything to say about this?
Thanks!

What is wrong with the Antec 300 illusion?

If you lust after the case, go ahead and buy it.
Otherwise, spend the money elsewhere.

I might want to get a larger video card like 10in+ and the 300 has really no space to hide cables so they would get in the way with a 10in+ card. My question is, is this a good case to get or should i save up and get something else. The 300 is also pretty loud even on low speed so I would like something quieter. I'm not saying the 300 is bad. It really is a great case, but I saw the cosmos so should I get it?

Thanks again!

Corsair 300R. A really good case for just about 60 bucks. Plenty of space for long video cards. Just in case you really want a new one.

Well I did say a fulltower case but i really mean just something bigger than the 300 that has better cable management. So is the Cosmos a good choice.

Yes, good choice, especially at the price you are getting it at!
