CM 590 vs Antec 300 vs Thermaltake M9

[woopow]

They are all pretty similar
which one do you guys think is the best?

CM 590. I've had great luck with CM cases in the past.

get the M9 cuz it's already black inside.

Airflow-wise the Antec 300, CM 590, and Thermaltake M5 are all similar and superior to the M9 it seems but I think the M9 is the best looking though it lacks a top exhaust fan/vent.

The M9 doesn't even come close to the cm690 and 300 in terms of airflow. So it's out.
Now, if you take into consideration cable management possibilities and overall build quality, cm690 comes on top. Awesome value for money!

Ohh and

uhhh....690!? that's not even one of the cases he's trying to choose from. I think you must of read it wrong but he said cm590.

I'm kind of a dumbass cuz for some reason I was looking at the M5 this whole time so forget anything i said.

Ohh, yeah , i misread. Sry.. Hmm.. this really changes the situation. I would still go for the cm, probably.

I have the cm590 and i must say its an amazing case. Its got TOO MANY fanslots

Double vent on top, 1 rear vent, 1 bottom vent, 2 left side vents, and 1 front vent all ready for 120mm fans, 1 right vent ready for a 80mm fan, and a rear vent next to the VGA slots for some more airflow. Couple that with the holes in the rear with grommets for watercooling tubing, and the mesh front this thing is a beast of a mid! And very cheap too!

The TT M5 looks sick

Thanks for the input guys, I'm leaning towards the cm
if i plan to buy one extra fan for it should i put it on top or side?

[tiro_uspsss]

my vote goes to cm or 300

Go for the CM590. Heat rises so put a fan or two on the top. Just my 2 cents!
