Is this case worth it?
« on: May 29, 2005, 09:57:59 pm »

My curent case:
W - 7.5\" | 188mm
H - 17\" | 430mm
D - 16.5\" | 419mm

No air intake slots.
1 fan in PSU. (400W)

All that remains of my PII from 1998. (everything else was upgraded).


New Case:
W - 250mm
H - 535mm
L - 465mm

1 rear fan
1 side fan
1 PSU fan

See through panel (good to see if dust is collecting.)
2 front panel lights. (don\'t care about)

550W PSU

Cost - $49.97


-------------------------------------------------

I think it\'s worth it.

Sounds a lot like my case, even the price. It\'s way worth it. Get it.

What about this case?

It\'s prety damn big (which is what I want) and some guy says it holds up to 6 fans.

Think it\'s good?
Any opinion on the fans? The company side says one fan (the side one).

Mine came with 2 I think. You can always install another fan but thatll bring the price to like 50 in total. I say get whichever onew you like more (looks) becuase the prices are close.
My case is huge too and I love the look I\'ll try to get a pic of it.

Edit: Can\'t find it on outpost which is where I saw it my first time so I guess it\'s discontinued or somthing.

Well its really nice though. Its big (all black and some silver) and it came with 2 or 3 fans plus a great power supply. The sides clear and the side fan has a re/blue light swirling.

The two coolest things though are that the case has a handle on the top and the the power and reset buttons are on the top too, which makes it way easyer to turn on your comp if it\'s on the floor like mine is. Only set me back like 45 nucks with a rebate too. But, many people say it\'s not the best looking case, I personally love the look though. It looks cool without making your comp look like a toy if you know what I mean.

EDIT EDIT: Found it on New Egg. :)

It says it only comes with one fan but Im counting 2 not including the one on the processer. Well either way I havn\'t had any heating problems and my processer is overcloacked too.

Yeah, how is the handle working out?

I am more of a fan of falt tops (cuz I like to place my drink on the case :D), But the handle seems prety nice. Does it actualy bear the weight of the loaded case?

Edit: I hear that case looks alot better in person than it does on the website. Any chance you can post a few pics of it in action?

Hmm I\'ll try to see what I can do. My digicam is out of order right now though. :P

And the handle works great. It\'s very reliable so don\'t be scared to hold a case by the handle if it comes with one.

My personal desire is to get a see-thru case. I will be the ultimate geek. :D

I\'m thinking of getting this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129152

It\'s made by Antec, so I know it\'s good. Plus I can get it for as cheap as $43.
