Im looking for something sturdy and roomy. Im not sure if this is considered "too" big for what I'll be putting in it. Can anyone comment on this or suggest a different one?

:cheers:

well the black one is steel, the silver one is aluminum ..apparently it weighs a ton but is roomy as hell ..not too keen on a grill front as it means dust will make it's way in no matter what


been looking at this one lately:

one of the gurus at maximum pc highly recommends it ..and it's reasonably priced ..but were I to spend a shitload on a new pc case I'd get this:

$169 for a case? shit dude, can I borrow some money?

Is what you are putting in from your signature?

 

[CptStern]

$169 isnt that bad for a case, especially since it's a quality case ...a case can last 3-4 generations of pc hardware so it makes sense to buy quality ...my current pc case is a little cramped and a little too loud for my tastes

I think im looking to go somewhere between 100-150 dollars. Basically I just need a decent amount of room.

Sub-question: I also am getting a dvd-rom and dvd-burner, why are there very few SATA's on new egg compared to IDE's?

 

[CptStern]

they've been around for a bit, but all new dvd drives come in sata

btw the pc cases I listed are fairly large

I really like this case, I plan on getting it for my next rig.

I know a full tower might not be the most practical, but, I like them. You might like it too.

Hey look a case that is just as good for a fraction of the price!

 

[Asus]

My friend had a case similar to that. Plastic breaks.

 

[CptStern]

not sure if I like the newest coolermaster case ..seems like a G4 knock off ..which was so 1999

protip- it's hard to make a bad decision when buying an ATX case. $20 cases function just as well as those $200 ones, without all the LED lights and fancy smancy crap you bring to a LAN to look cool.

Well, my case right now has alot of dings in it, and the only reason my PC was not harmed was because I have a strong metal case. If I had a plastic case id be in tears

My friend has this case, with the LCS installed in it. Has a Q6600 OCed on it to 3Ghz and it's ridiculously cold still. Looks great too when I saw it. Most cases are reviewed on youtube so check out videos of them first to get a better idea of their shape/size/features.

 

[Pesmerga]

The case I offered isn't plastic. It's steel. Also, I don't think there are any plastic cases with good reviews.

I have an Antec 900 and it's rather good value for money plus it looks sleek.

 

[Asuka]

Thats not a new case, its been around for a while. I have the one without the huge fan on the side. Bought mine before that was released.

 

[Asus]

Just referring to parts of the case that he has (the tabs on the bay covers).
They do indeed break easy.

 

[Javert]

Antec 900 from zipzoomfly. They have it for $20 cheaper than newegg with free shipping.

It's an awesome gaming case, with sound ports in the front, LED's, plenty of fans, and HD bays.

 

[bigburpco]

The two intake fans take lots of dust though for the Antec 900.

 

[Asus]

What about the stacker case? It's a beast (heavy), has lot of room and hard drive cages.

I have one beasty case. It's a dell XPS case, weights prolly 80 pounds all together. It's good to know it can take a round of bullets. It is quite roomy though

This is the case that I currently have, I really like the amount of room it has, I don't think I'd ever have to switch if size was all that mattered. Quality case, the cooling system is a little strange especially when trying to use aftermarket cpu heatsink/fans but nonetheless still worth every penny. Plus it looks "elegant" for the most part.

Lian Li has always been top quality and I love their style. Although they always seem to be a little out of my budget.

Antec P182 Special Edition!

Lian Li is expensive, but makes some real beasts. My old build was in one - but I moved it for more portability.
