    Silverstone FT01 or CM Stacker 830?

    Alright guys, I've got a Thermaltake armor right not and I'll be the first to admit that it's not the best case. So I'm looking at getting a new case for my brithday.

    What I want out of a case:
    -Ability to do cable management (Cutting holes aren't big deal to me)
    -Nice Airflow but have the ability to WC later on
    -Fairly light (Isn't too big of a concern to me but I'd like it lighter than me armor)
    -Easiest to dissasemble (I plan on painting it)

    Thanks guys for you input!

    I mean I'm not expecting to be able to do it just by unscrewing things. I know I'll have to take rivits out, I was just wondering which one you guys think is less of a hassle.

    Silverstone FT01 is pretty inflexible and cramped.

    Stacker 830 is alright, personally if was able to mod and water then I'd look for the Stacker 810 instead.

    HAF-932 is able to support a 360mm rad on the roof without modding and the airflow is impressive out of the box, no need to do anything extra on that front. Very spacious too, not too certain on how easy it is to disassemble. People have sprayed it though if you check the HAF-932 thread further down or the next page.

    Another good option is the Coolermaster Cosmos S. It can fit a 3x120 mm rad inside without any modding at all and is also easy to disassemble.

    Another vote for the HAF 932.

    Although the ATCS 840 is also a VERY nice case (probably one of the nicest cases on the market - when it comes out).

    I'm strongly biased towards the FT01... i love the case.... and contrary to what others have said, there is a tonne of room for a mid-tower.
