What I want for a good case...

sagitta85 · Mar 15, 2005

Aluminum built
Good overall design (not plain looking)
Removable Motherboard Tray
Min. of 4 fans, "filters" on each one, and needs to have a fan on top
Audio and USB port on the front of the case, not on top.
Not cost an arm and a leg (max roughly $130)

If a case has all of that, that would be perfect for me.....but I need someone to help me find a case like that! :bang head

Thanks.

newegg.com browse my friend, browse. Definately consider getting a 5.25" bay add on to supply the front accessibility plus other features if you find one that fits, except for that.

Ok, I made up my mind. I went for this:

It has everything I need, but the filters...maybe I can add it on it?

Lian-Li proabbyl has something right up your alley.

oh yeah, getting filter equipment is easy and cheap. Look at bestbyte.net of nexfan.com.

How 'bout this one?

oh, I guess it doesn't have a removable mobo tray, but still a nice case for the $$ IMO but maybe too "plain" looking for you?

Ok, so maybe this case is not at all what you are looking for, oh well :santa:

Bah, yeah, it's too plaing looking. My case (ASPIRE X-Superalien) is coming in this week and I think it was a good choice. With all of the features and it has 6 LED fans PLUS a 500W PSU.....it's worth every penny.

I'm currently using my old Gateway plain-looking-grey-case I had over 10 years. It is time for a change!

Thanks.

When I get it, first thing I'm going to get is filters for all of the fans. Then later on, I might change some stuff around, so that I can get the best air flow.
