| I would go for the Aluminum one it absorbs heat better and it lighter. but the price is better for the steel one. Just get the Aluminum. |

| I'm fairly sure it's just the weight. Chieftec are in a similar situation with their Dragon series--they have a silver alu. edition. I doubt that theres any other difference such as enhanced airflow etc. as that wouldn't make sense to me. |

| Go with the aluminum. Far better for cooling as it disapates heat. Plus the weight of the steel sucks! |
