Cases: Plastic and Aluminum?

[mini_2003]

What's the difference and , although aluminum is probably better, i don't know what the advantages are to buying aluminum. I was looking at the Thermaltake Soprano, and also the Thermaltake one that looks like the Soprano but is aluminum and its like a 30 dollar difference. So can anyone tell me advantages etc.

Get the soprano, i have the black one and it rulez!, but you dont want to get a plastic case, (assuming you mean steel frame with plastic coating) first point) they are A LOT heavier than aluminum
Second) showcar paintjob's look better and last longer on aluminum
third) They keep your parts cooler cooler
fourth) It just plain looks better

Aluminum is a much better heat conductor. It dissipates heat better.

soprano isnt plastic, its steel....
I was just stating that I have a soprano case and it rocks It is heavyier than an aluminum case, but i dont movie it around much so i dont care. but they dont really make plastic case. and if I could have i would have gotten an aluminum one, but it wasnt in me pricerange @ the time. if youre gonna take it to alot of lanparties and things, get the aluminum one, if not, get the soprano.
BTW they dont really make all plastic cases.....
