Looking for a good case with side panel window

krazyq · 02-07-2008, 05:24 PM

my budget is $60, i might goto 80 max.
This is for my gf so i dont need anything high end.
She wants it to be colorful so i already bought the ballistix tracers.

Now im in search for a decent case that will keep things cooled.

it has to have a window so she can see the beauty...
i wanna get the cm-690 but it doesnt come with the window...unles someone wants to do it for me.

Most of the better steel cases with side windows run for $80+ except for seeing the Antec 900 as low as $74.99 at Amazon.com: Used and New: Antec Nine Hundred Steel ATX Ultimate Gamer PC Case (Black)

well if i go without window its this case
Micro Center Online - the center of .computer shopping

if with window...im thinking about one of these:

1- Newegg.com - NZXT Apollo Black SECC Steel Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
2- Newegg.com - XION Onyx XON-301 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Stylish LED Power switch and unique 140mm Green LED Fan - Retail

antec 900 goes over my budget after shipping.

Another place to see a "large" selection of cases to choose from just about has the largest variety seen at Xoxide.com - Computer Cases & PC Cases - Starting at $24.99! If you find something large windowed you like there do some price shopping around.

The 900 held the $140 price tag at newegg for the longest time while other sites like FRYs were seeing sales down as low as $89.99 last year. But NZXT and ThermalTake offer some great cases as well as Cooler Master as far as brand names.
