One has a psu the other doesn't. That could be part of it.

WOW thats really something...
The only real advantage i can see is that the X Nav. has 5 80 mm fans... and im going to get 2 more 80mm fans for the X Plorer... and thatll bring the total up to 4? not too much of a difference and totally not worth the extra 100$... in my opinion..

Also, it's a little roomier and has 3 more internal 3.5'' drive bays. But I don't think almost $100 does that justice. Then again, I haven't used either case.SnY_pEr said:

For a 150.00 bucks I would think you could find a good Lian Li for that. A much better case IMO.

By the way, I'm not sure of what you plan on doing with your case, but if you looking for just a good solid case I would highly suggest this one.

I just bought it and am using it now, well actually completing my setup, but this is a great case.
Pros
Well built
Sturdy
No screws needed to hold cd-rom, hdd drives.
Cons
Probably not big enough for water cooling
only 2 fans, one 120mm (back) and one 80 (front)
Power button is a little flimsy, but works fine.
I'm using this case for a non-overclocked system, so it will work fine for me, plus I have a micro atx board installed for the room.

There's also a non-windowed version of that Coolermaster that comes with a side vent that can be replaced with an 80mm fan.

Yep LordDarik is correct, its actually cheaper too, I almost bought it, but decided on the windowed version.
Like I said though, if you plan to OC or water cool it may not be the case for you. I plan to run at stock temps...go figure, im on a oc'ing site. Also of note I installed a Zalman heatsink and there is still a lot of room.

umm i think ill stick with the Aspire case cause you can have at least 4 fans in the case!...
thats still looks like a very very nice case... i love LEDS and lighting up a case is very stylish and makes it unique...
Does anyone have pics of there Aspire Xplorer? and what youve fitted into it...
And no im not setting up a W/C system... i think im going to stick with fans for the moment..

Remember that amount of fans aren't everything though, a case with less fans but superior airflow and features can also make a good box.SnY_pEr said:

First post woo
I don't have a pic on hand but I bought an Aspire X-Cruise several months ago and I like it for the most part. Fairly good ventilation and it looks nice. The gauges on the front are mostly for show, although it does come with a fan controller and a temperature probe. Also side air duct and top 80mm blowhole.

Yeah I put the two led fans in the front (HDD intake), added a 120mm to the back, put a fan on the side air duct and bought a quiet 80mm for the top blowhole. The two stock fans aren't silent but they're pretty quiet when mounted on the front of the case.
Although my friend has the x-navigator and loves it.
