The LiLi PC-A71F is also a pretty good full tower. The all Alu. construction makes it corrosive resistant and a seemingly better buy. Been using a PC-A71F over a year and I can vouch for it. :)

Is there any specifics you are looking for in these full towers? Like removable motherboard tray, support for E-ATX boards et al?
 
+ 1 for Lian-Li because it is all aluminium and not steel which makes it worth the price.

Lian-Li A-71F is a very elegant Full tower.
 
Antec sucks when compared to these cases. I would go with the A77 or the ATCS 840. The advantage that the Corsair has is the side window, but looks wise, these two look better to me.

Its better than that plastic can that's for sure :p. Besides I own a A70f and seen few antec 1200 being used/assembled. The thumbscrews on my lian li started to corrode and the point chipped off a bit. I really don't like the thumbscrew for securing the mobo on the case.

I prefer steel cases in the long run. Wouldn't really consider side window being an advantage- some like, others hate it (especially with the blue LED lights).
 
What is your budget Quad Master?

Will you be using water-cooling?

For now, if you can afford it and it's available too, Obsidian 800D for sure. :)
 
Thanks a lot for ur suggestions.

But isn't the obsidian 800D steel cabinet so how is the cooling inside it.

The HAFX also looks good and i liked the ATCS 840 coz it has a removable mobo tray , and everything else perfect as i wanted.

Budget is not an issue , if something is worth the price buy it.

Ask at Prime ABGB I've heard it is the best place on Lamington Road, personally I've seen the HAF-X here in Bangalore where I study available at Golccha and Ankit Computers :)

+1 for the Evo. I've seen one in person and can vouch for myself. The bundled fans perform quite well too. Although it may certainly not be in the leagues of the LiLi full towers which will let you play around with a whole lot of space inside, this enclosure is well worth the 5.7k price tag.
 
I think the obsidian should be pretty future proof even if u wanna go water cooling later... so what if its heavy ?? its stable and quiet and looks amazing...

Bro for the price tag and usage of this guy the NZXT Tempest is a better buy, the Obsidian is much more expensive + most people don't use all the features provided, but the Obsidian series and Graphite by Corsair are really praiseworthy fot the innovations they have come up with :)
