Test: Einzeltest: LanCool PC-K58 ATX Mid Tower Case
Zitat: Giving a final answer as to which case is the best is quite hard to do, if we look at the three main candidates for value/performance recommendations, we can see from the outside that they are not that different. Sure the Antec on the left side features the least amount of features and extra bling, but it sells for less than €50, the CM690 and PC-K58 are both found in shops at €70, they both have tool less installation features and plenty of cooling expansion. The CM690 comes with more fans (3 vs 2) but is noisier while not providing better cooling. I/O panel wise the CM690 has them all beat though, with USB, Firewire and eSATA available. The LanCool on the other hand has more easily accessible power/reset button and provides more protection against dust. In the end it will come down to personal preference and what budget you have, we really like the PC-K58 for its innovative tool-less features, cooling potential and overall build quality; while it’s not on par with Lian-Li which goes one step beyond, for those that want to profit of their year long case building experience without paying a high price tag, there’s no better alternative.
