Hey guys, how have you all been?
Lately, I've been looking at various cases and wondering which to put in my build. Either an Enermax Midtower or a NZXT Source 210 Elite. What do you guys think? I have read good things about each of them and that just makes it harder to decide.
Go for whichever one you think looks better. Personally I prefer the look of NZXT cases so that's what I generally gravitate towards.
NZXT have better reputation and personally I think are better. Also NZXT have more of a following. Go with what you think will do you best and looks best! :)
Well, aesthetics is one thing but I am also looking at airflow and cable management. I like the look of Enermax but I wonder which is better for cable management. Any insight in this would help a lot!
I have no experience with enermax cases. That being said, the cable management in my NZXT Phantom 410 is awesome.Grommets on all the holes and they're all in the right places for my motherboard. The only thing I dislike about it is my Kraken only sorta fits in the top, but otherwise it's great.
Pink Enermax Ostrog > Anything from NZXT the confusing company who adds stupid looking accents to simplistic cases or make utterly childish nonesense.
Enermax should stick to making power supplies and case fans which they are extremely good at.Their cases aren't good in general.
I had an NZXT case for a few months and it was okay. Cable management, quietness, and case quality were okay. There are a lot of companies such as fractal and corsair that do a much better job. If your buying for aesthetic reasons, however, it might be a case for you. Before you buy NZXT, however, I'll should warn you that their customer service is a joke. My front panel devices shorted and I tried to simply get a new front panel. It's a fair request, especially since it was only a few months old and still within warranty. The shorted panel was not the problem I have with NZXT. First off, there is NO customer service phone number. Instead you have to submit something on some forum and they might respond in a few days. I submitted two before they finally responded. I told them my issue and they said they'd send me a replacement front panel. A week later a box showed up at my house from NZXT. What was inside? Not a panel, but a 140mm fan. wtf? My case didn't even have a 140mm fan so I have no clue where that came from. I submitted another request stating that I did not get the replacement panel. NZXT however considered the matter closed and never bothered sending it. Needless to say I now have a corsair case which is quieter, colder, easier with cable management and nothing has broken.
I have the H230, just got it and am planning on putting in red accents for assassins creed type scheme...that or a white cathode with a white black and blue theme...but I digress, It has been awesome for me
That's completely opposite of what happened to me, and that would tick me off too. I lost a rubber foot on my Phantom 410, so I used their online chat wanting to buy one, and they sent a whole replacement leg assembly a week later free of charge.
