Well the second one looks cooler, but they both seem to be very good cases. It doesnt help it all being in greek tho, ive never seen the second one before but i managed to find some info on it in english [url]http://www.avadirect.com/product_details_parts.asp?PRID=5958&ptitle=NZXT,+LEXA+(Black/Silver)+Mid-Tower+Case,+ATX,+No+PSU,+Aluminum[/url] and i gotta say i really like the look of it.

Amd's run hotter than intel's but not up to 80 degrees unless you do something seriously wrong. If you look at my profile you will see that i use an amd.

If it was up to me, then I'd say the second case as the cooling in it looks to be pretty good. I like the fan in the top in particular as it pulls the heat from where it rises to. Its a mod i wanted to do to my case but its a bit too tall for it (it only just squeezes under my desk).

Just in case you are interested, this is the case im getting next, [url]http://www.extremepcs.co.uk/Itemdesc.asp?ic=561397&eq=&Tp=[/url]

That is a very nice case too, had a good look at one in a local shop but thought it was a bit ugly with the door open, so i havent changed my mind.

Cool, I hope you decide on the NTZX because of its cool looks and as i said before, the cooling that it has is more than adequate for what you want.

If you do get the NTZX, i would love to see some pics of it. You could also write a review on it if you wanted!!!
