A collection of excellent cases

[Phoenix]

I've found a few cases that not only look pretty cool but also have good cooling.

Firstly the new amazing Fractal Design Define R3 case:

Not only is it built for silent operation but also manages to outperfom the Cooler Master CM 690 II and corsair 600t while only costing £89.99.

Secondly, the NZXT Phantom which has an interesting white colour distinguishing it from the sea of black cases out there:

This case is currently retailing at £108.91.

(I couldn’t fit it all into one post)
And finally 2 possible replacements for the Cooler Master Cosmos S which isn’t particularly cool or quiet:
The new and improved RV02 with air penetrator fans:

This case incorporates a revolutionary 90 degree motherboard mounting technique and the air penetrator fans provide unprecedented positive air pressure. This case is currently retailing for £140.96

Or the Big Brother of the R3, the Fractal Design Define XL :

This case is not currently available but should be out in the next month or so and is estimated to cost £120.07

So what does everyone think of the cases?

It does look similar, quite an extensive amount of modifications.

I should think thats the cse they used as a shell.

I saw a review of the Fractal Design Define XL on youtube, looked quite impressive. Will PCS stock any of the above in the near future?

Loving the NZXT. Something a bit different there without being completely OTT and looking terrible

I really like the first one. It's so simple and doesn't look like it's trying too hard at anything. It would fit fine and not stand out too much in pretty much all rooms.

the first case is definately my favourite!

Being a 1 HDD guy and aspiring to 2 HDD's one day (and maybe even an SSD), my only question is....what the hell do you guys put in all them bays????

 

[JSG10]

Moar hdds! Lol

 

[Phoenix]

Well you could just leave the slots empty I guess.

i really like the door closing design on the R3's but the small 1 has too much storage of bays for liking while its big brother has even more in the bottom chamber lol, thats personally my opinion tho but the compartment of the rest is certainly nice. and the white phantom case is defo a thumbs up for what i can see from it

Must of missed this thread before - the NZXT Phantom is the best white styled case I've ever seen!

And then you posted that! New contender.

It also comes with a mesh side panel in case you want to increase airflow/mount some extra fans. I think ETA for release is Q2.
