New Case Suggestions

Call me indecisive, but I cannot choose between these cases:

I think I am least sold on the Zalman, due to least amount of fan support and lack of PSU shroud.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The two DIYPC cases have the most air intake, so they'll likely do the best job of keeping your system cool. The Apex and Sharkoon cases have good exhaust, but will be somewhat starved on intake airflow.

I was thinking the same thing. Kind of leaning towards those two, but the Sharkoon and Apex look nicer to me, esp the Sharkoon. Any thoughts on how structurally sound these two are?

Structurally, they look like they have a sturdy enough design with plenty of room to work, and should hold up well. They're built off the same chassis from what I can see, but the Sharkoon case has a better top panel with a filter and better support for water cooling, and includes an extra front fan.

I guess the question would then be: do you feel the Sharkoon is worth the nearly $25 increase?

I'll have to leave that up to you.

I only see a $15 difference on my end, so if the difference is worth it to you, then that's the one you should get. Like I said before, it does include an extra fan and has a better top panel, so the higher price is somewhat justified in that way.

Anyone else have some thoughts?
