Help Choosing a Case

DarkS1d3 · 07-04-2006, 02:00 PM

Hey all, I'm starting to order components for my next build, but I'm hung up on a case.

I've been looking very closely at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146015

If anyone has any opinions on it, or can point me toward a great case they've used, I'd be most appreciative.

Not sure if it matters, but it's going to be a gaming computer, probably a Conroe build, unless s939 prices fall through the floor.

Thanks

It looks a bit chintzy on the front.. like its cheap plastic...

Its a cheap plastic case. Spend the money and get a nice all aluminum one.

I.e. coolermaster wavemaster or mystique, or the gigabyte aurora, or the thermaltake armor jr.

If you have the money, Lian Li cases are awesome.

If not, coolermaster has the most affordable Aluminum cases that look good.

dunno about you i threw my tsunami at the sellers face.

For me it was like trying to stick a rig in a sardin box.

He replaced it for me with a Gigabyte 3D Aurora, I couldn't be happier nowdays
