Suggestions on a case?

[Guest]

Can anybody suggest some good cases (or case manufacturers) to me. I'm looking for something that's economical and not a piece of crap.

If you're looking for high-end cases, Lian-Li cases are excellent. For economical but sturdy cases, check out In-Win and Landmark.

I just bought a Antec SX800 series case
can hold up to 5 80mm fans,2 come with it.
Bought it from Antec for $58.00 U.S.(no power supply)
With 300 watt,less than $100.00
With 400 watt,$125.00 or so.
Top quality case!!!

I'm also looking for a new case. I need something economical, sturdy, and has good air flow. Style would also be nice, but not needed. Air flow and temperature is by far the most important factor. Any good websites or brands for cases? Thanks for taking the time!!!

I have never bought anything from this company, but they seem to have reasonable prices and a decent rating on ResellerRatings.com

I'm getting the SX1030. It's not that much different from the SX830 except that I don't want the floppy molding that the SX830 includes. The SX1030 is a big bigger and I won't be having a floppy drive in it.

They also have versions without the powersupply if you want to add your own, or you can get the 400W version. The above two include 300W. The site etoyou.com has decent prices and a 7.0 on resellerratings. That's where I'm going to place my order. I checked Fry's Electronics today and their prices were not very good. The SX830 was $100+tx and the SX1030 was $120+tx. Buy online.

I am looking for a case that has plenty of fan options but is not necessarily a full tower. Right now I am looking at the Coolermaster ATC200 (http://www.coolermaster.com/products/atc/atc200.html), mostly because of it's number of fan options and their optimal locations. I was wondering if there were any cases anyone knew of that had all these same fan spots, but also one built into the side of the case, hovering above the AGP and PCI cards, similiar to the Alienware cases. I really do not want to sacrifice any extra drive bays I would still have going with the ATC 200, so one that had the same number, even if it was bigger would be fine. Any help on this would be MUCH appreciated.

Bought the case and powersupply direct from Antec.
Ordered on Monday and came the following Tuesday.
Got a little concerned after I noticed there rating
of 4.5 but no problems.It took two days to ship,I
would of liked it shipped sooner but they are the
manufacter so they have a lot of orders to ship.I
like it very much!!!!
The 350 watt power supply with two fans is nice I used
to have little quirks every now and then now I am very
stable.

Last I heard, the Alienware cases are the SX1030, but modified.

<font color=blue>Hey, I <A HREF="http://www.webuildpcs.com/wbpc/CAS003.html" target="_new">realize this</A> isn't the TOL the antec is - but it works great for me!!! It has a slide out mobo case, and is a full tower so it has lots and lots of room for fans. I cut a whole lot of extra holes in it on mine (im for pics) and I am totaly happy with it. Painted it yellow on the inside and black outside - Very trick look with all the extra time I spent cabeling - I think it looks as good as a $5000 voodoo machine. And the price? It is now less than $50. When I got it in april I received the case, a 300 ps, 3 fans (53.5), and 12 very nice brass thumbscrews to make it toolless (5.97) and 3-day shipping (23.02) for total of 82.49. I later replaced the ps for a high quality dual fan 400w for about the same ($82 shipped). Anyway - just a thought.
