alrite i found some cases that i want to buy but dono which one to get... i will be gettin asus p4p800 delux, 2.4c, gf4 ti2000... and will attempt overclocking for my first time : )

alrite here are the ones i'm interested in..

ooorrrr... do you think i should get a totally different case (please include link) => i generally want to spend 100 dollars or less - less is better : )

thx in advance
 
1 and 2 are the same, different color. You can find it cheaper. I've seen them go for $50 or so. 3 isn't too bad. I like the 120mm fan in the back.

I'd pick 3.

I would get that one from your choices becuase its aluminum and has a powersupply with free shipping. I dont know how good the PSU is so that a gamble there. I know the turbolink that the chieftec use to come with didnt work that great, my ram rails were flucuating like the BH7 temps.

that is my post in the cyber deals on another aluminum case but no power supply. $45 for the case and you would need something good like a
antec 330w or higher. Im thinking the 430w myself.

if you get my case with a antec 330w that will bring you total to just a hair over $100 but you will know you have a great PSU.

your chieftec will be just as nice of case maybe nicer but the powersupply is unknown to me and most likely is not nearly as good as antec.

your goal of 3.2ghz is not very high so the psu should be more then plenty to hit that if you want to go with the chieftec. GL with your system.
 
can you mod a window yourself? if so goto buyxtremegear.com and they sell fpr $35 a black or white version of the chieftec without a window.

good price, but shipping is like 20 dollars. still, 55 is cheaper than newegg :D
