Thermaltake V4 Black Edition Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case $20 after $16 Rebate, NZXT Source 210 ATX Mid White Tower Case $22 after $10 Rebate + Free Shipping (expired)

The NZXT looks to be the better case, unless you really need the LEDs.

I have the nzxt case, got it for around this price. I was really impressed with the quality for such a cheap case.

Dang, I just bought the NZXT Elite version of this case about a week ago for $35. Only differences between it and this version that I can see is the Elite has USB 3.0 ports up front which, for my build, isn't needed. Would have rather saved another $13 on the build. Oh well!

Quality wise it is a very nice case for what you're paying for it, especially if you get this version for $22. It's no where close to the level of quality on my Antec P180 or Lian-Li PC-60 cases but it is one of the best budget cases I've used.

I can't say I'm sold on the white color but that is defiantly a personal preference.

I got the 210 in black last time in was on sale for 19.99, for the price its a great case, lots of good options for such a low price
- cable management-quite good
- bottom PSU
- CPU back cutout
- lots of cooling options
- lots of space
...metal is thin, but hey its $20

I would agree I'm not sold on the white color

The V4 for $20 is definitely frontpage worthy. Searching SD it has never been below $30. So i'm in for that case.

As for the NZXT in white - I like the style.... clients do not. Its very boring looking and i've actually had people tell me it looks "broken" because of the angle of the top near the usb ports is not level. This is just NZXT styling but if you are planning to build something for clients be prepared for criticism.

In for a NZXT at this price.

wow, nice price. should I upgrade or not to. ahhh prob not. Still rolling on quad Q9400. Should be good for another few years or so.

I like the white because it's different yet looks very clean, especially with the two-tone paint job. It's like when black cases started replacing beige cases. That kind of feeling.

While the metal is thinner since it's a budget case, the design layout of the interior is done very well: PSU on the bottom, cutouts for wire management, and lots of room for 120mm fans. I really like how NZXT also paints the inside of their cases. I wish other brands would do the same more often.

Haha... I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe pull out the Q9650 and stick it in a cheap case to sell, and use the proceeds to upgrade to Core i. Thing is, there really isn't anything the 9650 can't do. :/

I have the white one too ($20 deal 2 weeks ago) and yes it's very good/roomy/well built.

The V4 is dirt cheap. Too bad it looks so tacky...

Same here, just bought the Elite version, but one other difference at least is that the elite has an additional 140mm fan as well.

The white case looks OK, but needs the black bezel around the front spray painted to match.

The black bay covers look odd also, but could be remedied with white drives or covers I suppose..
