Hmm wonder why none of the HAF (Full towers and Mid towers) series from CM were mentioned either ... there are few great cases from Lancool as well which are being circulated in the market as well not just for aesthetics either but great cooling solutions as well ...Would it be alright to do some research and Post them on here .. could do it if its alright with everyone ?

 

[sasikanth8]

Yes, post them here.

Antec has released the Antec V1 enclosure which may be a good alternative for the budget case NZXT gamma.
If anyone found a review or bought this case please share your opinion here.
