Case for an Overclocked Duron System

[phsstpok]

Can anyone recommend a good Mid Tower case/power supply for an overclocked Duron System? It has to have good cooling but I also don't want to break the bank. The motherboard is an ABIT KT7-Raid and the Duron is overclocked to 1 Ghz.

The combo is a special I ordered from OCZ.SAFESHOPPER.COM pre-tested to run at 1 Ghz. It includes an OCZ Monster II chip cooler. Price for the combo is $217.99

At least a 300W power supply and lots of fans.

Thanks. I know.

I should have been more specific. What I would like is recommendations on particular models and where to purchase them. Feedback on good and bad experiences would be great too.

look for the fong kai fk-320 at directron.com. it comes with a 300w athlon approved power supply. cooling is great. it ships with two fans (one in the lower front and one in back) plus the p/s fan. it also has a hood that sits directly over the heatsink. it's like 98$ plus shipping.

one of the options is to upgrade with a 8mm fan in the front. don't do it. i upgraded to the largest fan and ended up with both because it shipped from the manufacturer with one already installed.

I'll check it out.

Thank you.

This is sort of a fat, mid/full tower. I use a couple of Liteon FS020 cases. Got one for USD 165.00 with a 300w power supply and one fan. My other has a 400w PS, but I don't remember its cost. Dspite a few caveats (Grrr!) this thing has 1-12cm. intake fan and 2-12cm. exhaust fans. I purchased them at www.outsideloop.com. LiteOn's site is at:

Excellent case cooling.
