Looking for a new case but it has to have....

[Shaggy]

Hey there Im looking for a new case for my PIII system so I thought I would ask the friendliest most helpful nice people I know... (Ok enough sucking up) I want an atx case in black that has a door that closes over the cd drives. I want the door so I dont have to replace all my existing white components :). Plugs for usb and firewire upfront are a plus but not necessary. I would also like a case that has lots of pre existing spots for cooling fans and hopefully a side blower too. I looked at the enermax black server case but the $125 price tag made me faint. Im sure I could spend alot more for a case than that but I dont quite need the top of the line. Any suggestions that anyone has would be greatly appreciated :)

$125 is about an average cost for a good case, and since you did such a nice job of sucking up, I won't scorn you for posting the the wrong area! LOL

From newegg. Check the thread by nick-cw in this topic. lots of info about this case. I dumped the 300 psu and got a sparkle 400. Cant wait to get it going. Last nite I was running benchmarks and my temps were 48C. Hope to lower that considerable w/ this case and 4 fans

Edit it was $69. plus s/h

This appears to be a nice case with front panel jacks IN BLACK ALUMINUM--but NO power supply and NO front door to hide your pasty white drives:

this is mine. its pretty nice and you can find a lot of mods for it my friend is looking at a site that will custom mod it for you when you buy it. sorry i dont remember the site though, ill ask and then post it if he still has it. the site would even switch the side of the hinge for the door.

anyways you can add 2 fans to the 2 they give you (so spots for 4 80mm fans) the fans are actually clip ons
atx
a latch on the side panel instead of screws
a door on front with a lock
a lock on the side panel

it has a whole lot more just go check it out. also there are a couple companys that make this case.
