Which Case Is Better


Recommended Posts

Ugh I dislike the front panel look of HAF cases. Look too ugly and industrial. Then the NZXT Guardian looks like some flashy case you get from someplace like Cyberpower or Ibuypowerpc.

 

Based on looks alone (since no link was provided to examine features), I vote neither.

So many haters so I will stick up for the Guardian. I used it on my previous (C2D) build. Great mid-tower. If you don't want a huge dorky tower the Guardian is a good case and fits 10.5" video cards. It's looks are a lot more subtle than that picture suggests, but at the same time catches everyone's attention. The front door would be annoying if you're in and out of your BD/DVD/CD player a lot. Some of the front ports could be placed better but overall I really enjoyed working with the NZXT Guardian. I debated on using it again on my Sandy build. Though I'm glad I didn't ...mostly because the case fans are louder than I like.

 

The MSI Lightning is 12" so that would be a problem. Never been a fan of the HAF series so if I had to fit a 12" card I would go to a completely different case.

These are all well worth the look. :thumbsup:
