What case to get

[dondon4720]

i have two in mind the NZXT lexa S Lexus

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146060

and The Cooler master Storm Enforcer

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119240

The only problem with the cooler master is the internal usb 3.0 header i dont want to spent a lot of money on a motherboard that has it (but i feel inclined to do so i think it would still be a good case without it)

Which one should i get also other suggestions are helpful (budget 90.00 need side window)

Thanks

I have the LEXA S case for my first computer build and it's pretty good. It doesn't have a motherboard speaker built into it which was my biggest problem but that's very minor. I have a 6850 inside of it with about 1.5" left to spare so it can accommodate larger cards if it has to.

Plenty of motherboards that aren't that expensive have internal USB 3.0 headers.

Friend, all current chipset motherboards, including cheap ones, have USB 3.0 And even if it doenst, you are not obligated to conect the case USB 3.0 into the motherboard in order to work.

Having said that, your case will last the next 20 years, your motherboard wont. Get the case with 3.0. You may regreat not having it in the future

The case won't be used for more than 7 years, but leandro's right that you shouldn't consider USB 3.0 a deterrent.

Lot's of mobos do not have internal USB 3.0 headers. But it's fully backwards compatible to USB 2.0--it'll just run at 2.0 speeds (someone correct me if that's not true).

He means dollars. If the poster assume he's using the only currency in the world, then he's American. (I'm American too, btw).

the usb 3.0 internal header is different than the usb 2.0 header

Thanks for the correction. I was thinking that USB 3.0 has some extra pins and power, so it might be different. In that case, I should find out what that header looks like.
