Ok, it's not THAT urgent, but still.

I'm looking at getting the GB 3D Aurora, a $150 case on Newegg. That, plus the hard drive, I'm looking at, is about $220. Now, I can get the CMStacker 830 and a 200GB WesternDigital Caviar SataII Hard Drive (HDD is free technically), for $260. Is the extra $40 really worth it for the Stacker?

Click here. Combo deal should be the first one that shows up. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119103)

Also, yes, it will be aircooled.

Man, I have seen alot of cases and the Stacker blows all of them away!!!

There is a reason why SO many people have them on this forum...

Versatile...
Durable...
Expandable...

You name it...

Still, considering my "Coming Soon" rig in my sig, would it really be worth the extra money? Keeping in mind I have a tight budget and $40 is a lot.

IDK, the Aurora looks ok. but the Stacker has my vote.

You will be happy with either one...

i prefer the stacker

u can install 9 x120 fans inside it for maximum air flow beside the hard cage in arura make the area around the mobo very small

The fans are the reason why I'm considering, really.

I've also read about a PCI-slot card fitting issue. Any info on it?

Apparently quite a few people have problems seating PCI/PCIE cards into the motherboard because the card slot on the back of the case is too long.

never heard of that

and paying 40$ is not that bad putting in mind that this is a long term investment and 9x120fans is more than enough to cool down any future hot cpu or vga u can get in the following several years
