    first build case maybe cooler master centurion

    has anyone used the centurion 534? would this be an ok choice for my first build using 8800 GTS. if so, one model includes a 430w psu, would that be sufficient? or get it without, and maybe go 450-500w. thanks in advance for any comments.

    I love my Centurion 534. I have a 120cm fan mounted in the front and one in the back for great cooling. A case is as personal as you are; if you ask 500 people about what case to buy you may get 500 different responses.

    If I were building a computer today and wanted a Cooler Master case without spending big money, I would purchase the RC-330. I like the straightforward design of the interior of the case and the fact it comes with one 120cm fan and has space for another 120cm in the front. Good, basic case for $40 with good cooling. I don't like sideways HD cages or anything else fancy inside my case; I just want a good, solid, basic design. I never move my case and don't usually open it up every two weeks, if these are things you do fairly often you may want to consider a LAN case of a more sturdy case.

    that RC-330 does look good. I've got a Centurion 5 myself, very pleased with it except for the front fan only being 80mm and very difficult to get to. I guess I'm kinda cheap when it comes to a case.

    Mine: Core i7-920 + Xigmatek S1283 // Gigabyte UD4P // gigabyte windforce hd6870 // 3x2GB Corsair DDR3-1333 // Antec 900 V2 // Corsair TX750 // WD 640GB Cav. blue // Samsung TOC T240 24"

    kids: PhII 550 BE (quad unlocked) + freezer pro 64 // Gigabyte UD2H // 2x2GB Corsair DDR3-1600 // CM Centurion 5 // gtx260-216 // Corsair HX620 // WD 640GB Cav. black // some 22" monitor
