[THATWACKYDANTE!]

I'm looking for a case w/ decent cooling and looks cool w/ a PSU, maybe 4+ fans, right now I have a MSI MOBO (uncertain) P4 2.6 gig w/ HT tech, 9800 se, Soundblaster 5.1 live!, 350 w psu (plan on getting around a 400-500 PSU), 1gig mem, etc. anyways, I plan on getting a X800 Pro 256 and a new case altoghether, just a little makeover, thanks in advance

Raidmax w/420watt PSU

Enermax cases w/no PSU
I've never seen these before and I thought they looked pretty stylish. There are other colors as well.

An interesting selection over here.
My friend likes the X-Viper case. It's out of stock, go figure.

Directron.com always has many cases to choose from.

I personally perfer quality cases from Antec, CoolMaster, Enermax, Kingwin, Lian-Li, and Thermaltake. I have not cared for cases my friends have built using other brands at all as they were cheaply made. Usually after awhile my friends even became not satisfied and had a few complaints with their case no matter how 'cool' the case looked. hehe

I have a generic chieftec case. Works fine for me and I got it for a great price. You may want to check them out if your not looking for a "tricked" out case but want some color.

I am not a fan of all these fancy cases, just give me something simple and understated. Plus my case is all black (including the optical drives, mouse, keyboard, monitor - looks pretty slick).

thanks a lot for helping out hopefully I'll make up my mind sooner or later. Have you seen the new Samurai 908? Looks tight as hell but I heard it may cost anywhere from $150-$200 Raidmax makes it.

usally, your case mgith come with 1-2 fans at max....but good ones have plenty of spots for you to add 80/60/92mm fans.

Think I'm going to get the Guardian case, looks really nice, good reviews (so far), not looking for a whole bunch of fans (Xaser cases 7 fans lol) just about 3-5 fans is good for me, plus it comes w/ a decent 400W PSU, be good for the lights, fans, and the monster X800 soon

What site are you getting it from?

Talking about this sucker?
Newegg
Directron

Newegg = 5$ less but they both come with free shipping. No doubt there.

Directron.com, comes w/ the 400 w psu, gonna get a half life and a HL2 window applique, and a halflife case badge, and a 2 Coolmax Chameleon 7 LED fans. total is like $120, sounds nice to me

 

[THATWACKYDANTE!]

yup yup that's it, gonna get the case first then get the X800 pro once I aquire the $400

Since those appliques are 7.5 inches across...where on the window are they gonna put it?

 

[THATWACKYDANTE!]

well I definately know I'm going to put the HL2 applique on the top of the window, looks like there's plenty of room there, the Half-life one, I may see if I can fit it elsewhere, if not i'll put it on my DDR pad.

But Asus, in your opinion, do you think the Guardian will be a good case?
