I think that i want to get a new computer case,
i want it to be a full tower case so i can have more room, i had my eye on an Antec SX1030B Black case 300W, with 2 fans for 100 bucks U.S. and i like it just looks neat, but got any suggestions on other cases i should look at ???

This is a good one, I think (I bought it, anyway :)). It's one of the Supercases. Loads o' room. Got mine here (http://www.partshelf.com/supfultow300.html). Currently $55. And these people don't inflate shipping charges.

just get the antec it is so nice or if you want newegg has the enlight mid tower with amd approved 300watt ps for like 62 shipped. if you mod it with a top 120 and 120 in the front you get better performance than teh antec for about the same money

case 63shipped comes with one 80mm fan.

two panaflo 120mm fans for like 18dollars shipped allelectronics.com

12x9 window mod about 18 shipped.

dremel bits maybe 30discs LOL 5 bucks

for a total of 104shipped and you have 220cfm of air and a window! can't go wrong with taht deal and elbow grease. you could still mod the antec for 155bucks but depends if you are set on nice black case or modding it out the arse.

There is a new aliminium case that has come out recently

that makes 2 barnds that i know that sell aluminium cases

An aluminium case should keep cooler because of its higher thermal conductivity and no paint on the outside

WoW untell I read this thread I never even new what case I had

it was a full tower supercase!


well I didnt realy like it

not very much airflow at all and the side are almost imposible to slide on strate
not very wide so it was very dificult to put my h20 system in it
I would never buy that case again

That's without the PSU, though...the 400W is like $55 on top of that.

that's what I meant... it doesn't matter really, you'd end p trashing the PSU either way but a largue case for 30 bucks is fantastic.

A PSU however isn't somthing worth holding back the green, they will crap out on you and may even end up burning down your computer or scarely your house if you leave it on when you arn't home. Make sure you spend no less than 60 bucks for a PSU.(Enermax or Antec is your best buy)

DONT GO FOR A CHEEP CASE!

i bought a cheep case when i first built my computer (many cpus ago) and got a cheep full tower, it came with a 200watt psu (not enought for a midi tower) and a small ammount of modding ended up with it crumpeling under its own weight
