REPOST Which of these two cases would u recommend?
Cooler Master Elite 330 or the Centurion 5?
The Elite 330 is slightly smaller in height which I like, and also the Centurion's included front fan is 80 not 120, I am not sure if that's sufficient. The Centurion seems to be designed for someone who is going to stack a dozen drives inside. I really don't need that much room for the unit I'm building... and I never will. Any specific advantages that I'm unaware of with one or the other? I'm inclined toward the 330 only because of its smaller size. Please advise. I'm getting ready to start ordering merchandise and I never like being dissatisfied with something. Thanks! ---Atreju--- |

If you LIKE the Elite 330 (and it has a decent power supply which you didn't mention) and the centurion is too big and not needed and the only thing that is a determining factor is the fan size which I said makes little difference, then haven't you aswered your own question? The power supply is thee most important hardware in the rig. Any specific advantages that I'm unaware of with one or the other? I'm inclined toward the 330 only because of its smaller size.

Thanks for all the advice everyone gave me. ---Atreju--- |
