When looking at cases is there really a huge difference in how they will effect a build. I know you get better cooling from different ones. But are there any major factors to take in to account?

Depends, if it's going to be shoved under a desk and not really seen and run a basic system that's never pushed hard enough for heat to be an issue then no.

As usual you get what you pay for. there are exceptions like the original Level 10, price was ridiculous but the design was amazing, shame about the cooling capability and lack of radiator mounts.

If it's going to be seen you might want one that looks nice. But what you think is great someone else may think looks like it should be taken out and shot before it afflicts itself on the world.

If you want water cooling you need one that can take it. Do you want to have the parts exposed through a window, does it need to be quiet, have room for lots of or big fans. Do you want colour options, loads of HDD rails, room for multiple graphics and huge motherboards?

So yes, loads or difference.

Well im not to fussed about looks. as long as it doesn't look like wayne rooney. . Colour doesnt really bother me.

I guess i will be possibly looking at upgrading to a dual graphics at some stage then possibly water cooling. Maybe an upgrade to an SSD in the near future. A window would be nice just to see all my components. Gotta love the inner workings aha.

Azza Orion Gaming Mid-Tower Case with See-Thru Side Panel, i do like the look of that.

But this (Thermaltake Element-T Mid-Tower Case) seems good for cooling. Better between the two.?

Element T: solid mid sized choice.
Azza Orion: budget case.
