I was just wondering. It seems like a nice budget case, and I'd like to know what people think of it, in terms of noise, airflow, ease to build, aesthetics, etc...
Otherwise I guess you'll have to go with your gut. Most of the guys on here probably don't buy such budget cases unless they are making it for someone else..
It does seem like it would be better than my 7 year old proprietary HP case, airflow wise. My hp case can take a beating though.
But yeah I'd get the core 1000 too. The $5 dollar more isn't so big. Even on a budget, I could just not eat out once and "pay" the difference right then.
