I need a new case for my new rig, specs are:
-Asus A8N-E mobo (although I may opt to change to an SLi one)
-AMD Athlon 3200+ 64
-XFX GeForce 6600GT (if prices go down on the 6800GS, I'll get that instead)
-1GB Dual Channel Crucial XMS 184-Pin DDR400 PC3200 RAM (512MB x2)
-XClio 450W PSU
I'm currently considering the following cases:
Ultra Wizard Black ATX Mid-Tower (never heard of this brand, but looks good)
Premium 2525 Black ATX Mid-Tower (never heard of this brand either, but look at those air vents!)
Chenming 301KEB Black ATX Mid-Tower (Chenming is supposed to be pretty good, no air ducts though, just a few vent holes)
Cheming GF-2852 Black ATX Mid-Tower (looks nice, but since it's a new item, there aren't any reviews yet besides the one on that page)
Antec SLK3000B
If you have any recommendations, then please feel free to list them, however I would like them to meet these requirements:
-Black or mostly black
-At least 1 front USB 2.0 ports
-No windows
-Quiet
-Takes heat well
-$60 MAX (including shipping, which is usually $15-25 at most sites)
Also, while reading the "cool computer" guide on SVC, they said that 120MM fans are better for keeping a computer quiet because it circulates the same amount of air as an 80MM fan but has "more space to work with", thus making it quiet. What about 2 80MM fans? Would that be quiet or loud?
