What s a good Case?

[Athlonman]

I am looking for a new case and I dont really know which one is a GOOD one.
Thanks

If you have alot of money to spend, get a Lian-Li PC-65 and a Sparkle 400w. If you want to buy a nice case for around 100 bucks, anything by antec is good, though I would suggest the 1040 SOHO server case. If you want to know where to buy, Newegg.com is a great place to start.

If you want to spend a pretty penny then go for the Lian Li PC70. It's really nice:D

Ohh thanks I was looking at the Coolermaster case but here in canada there aroung $400 so i think I am go with the antec a little cheaper But if anyone knows any that r really good let me no becouse I see that everyone has a antec case

make a search for the lian-li pc-86. i like this case so much. its more expensive than the regular steel cases as youll notice but it has better value than the coolermaster ones; and its pretty and reliable as all the lian-li r.

You of course might want to try looking at Price Watch.com or CNET.com for prices as well. I've found some very good deals good through them to find sights to purchase from. My cousin bought the Antec SX1040 and since I put together all of his systems, I found it to be one of the easiest cases to work on that I've ever come across. The door on the front can grow to be a little of a pain the butt, but it can easily be removed if need be. The case I'm thinking about getting is the Antec SX1240 (which only comes in beige, yuck). It has more bays for better expantion, no door, a 400watt P/S (never use lower myself) and it has the removable HDD bays like all Antecs. The removable HDD bays and the 5.25" slide clips are two of my favore things about these cases + they don't start at $160 like the LL's!

yes the antec case, or "alienware case" has some excellent reviews since it is very nicely designed for cooling and modding... Theres alot of companies now that make that case, just depends on the included psu.. :D

I got an alienware. Antec cases are really big, really heavy, and are really high quality. its got holders for 80mm case fans, 2x in rear, 2x in front, one of which is by removable hd cage, so it keeps the hd cool. Antec is really heavy though, but i think is worth it because it come witha psu(power supply) and is available in amny differnet colors, albeit(Sp) more for custom colors schemes.
They look nice, and mines big so is intimidating to novice computer users. Hehe. Mine comes with 4 5 1/2 inch drive bays, and two 3 inch drive bays, plus room for 3 hd. But if you the cash, and dont mind a little cramped space, go witha lian-li. Aluminum is a great passive heatsink, and its really light. You can even get some with case windows pre-installed. Hope this helps.

Okay thanks

You cannot go wrong with the Antec or Enermax case. NewEgg.com has both SX1040 or FS-710 in BLACK OR BEIGE. If you want to even save a few more dollars and get the same case but with a 350w P/S then look at Enermax case. Both are made by the same company. I have both. The Enermax case comes with a dual fan Enermax P/S and the 5v rail was dead on at 5v. My Antec came with the Antec 400w P/S and its rail again is 5v.

yes, they are excellent cases. They are the OEM brand for Supermicro so their stuff and Supermicro are the same. Both are high quality cases.

Check out some of the Aopen full towers, priced nicely, and not too bad. They come with a 300W PSU standard (not the greatest PSU in the world mind you), and really good for modding.

fong kai's are the ugliest cases in the world. the whole world. e-machines cases are better looking than fong kai. i would rather have a big dell sticker on my case than have a fong kai.
