What's a good case with a removable motherboard tray?

Stvwndr219e · Mar 26, 2005

I'm looking for a new case, as my old one was a really crappy 5 dollar piece of... yea. I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on a case with a removable motherboard tray with a blowhole on top or 120 mm fan mounts.... i'm looking for stuff within 50-80 bux, but feel free to offer others... i'm open to suggestions.

Thanks.

This may be the cheapest case w/ a removable tray but it's not junk.

Hate to burst you're bubble, but it's going to hard to find a good aluminum case with a motherboard tray in your price range. Nonetheless, there are a number of good cases such as the Lian Li PC65-B and a Coolermaster Wavemaster/Praetorian.

True, but I cannot think of many non-aluminum cases with removable trays

Lian Li, Coolermaster

my Antec has a removable tray, and the Lian Li pc-65B is not a bad case, has quite a few fan slots and aluminum, dunno if it has a blower on top or not though, and its just out of your price range unless you can find it for cheap, thats the case im getting next, i think, i`m really big on removable mobo trays. Some don't say they are when they actually are, just to keep in mind.

Oh yeah!! That case is awesome. Only $16.15 w/coupon (+ shipping).
Great price for a server sized case with removable Mobo tray.

Not good airflow stock but makes an excellent base for a modding project = extremely sturdy.
Bought three of them myself. :attn:

I have the Aspire X-Dreamer 2. I paid about 80 for mine, but Newegg has them for about 55. They have a side window, 80mm blowhole on the top w/ a fan, an 80mm fan on the side window, a spot for a 120mm or 80mm on the back, room for two 80mm fans in the front, and of course, a removable mobo tray. It's not a bad case as long as you replace the psu that it comes with and don't mind the LEDs (or you could unplug them).

Totally!! I have 2 of these windowed cases and they are great!! Tons of room and easy to work in... Filters, front USB 2.0/firewire/2 80mm intake/1 80mm exhaust (can be modded to fit 2 though

)/mod your own blowholes up top..., 4 5.25 bays, 2 3.5 bays, 4 hd bays, cool hd screws w/rubber silencers. Thumb screws galore!! :thup:

Top quality case for the $$ :santa:

How'd you cut out holes in the window w/out cracking it?

Susquehannock · Mar 30, 2005

How's the removable mobo tray in that KINGWIN ... j/k

But the heading did say they wanted a case with a removable tray.

> "How'd you cut out holes in the window w/out cracking it?" <

What kind of tools do you have access too?

Pepto.Bismol · Mar 31, 2005
