Case Choosing

[Nerwin]

Alright sorry about before... But I am thinking to build a new computer after all. I will just get the case first case the case wont have a new version out in a week after i buy it lol~ so i have a case I already own and like and its this and I'm just going to keep this case with all the components in it and just use it as a VMware server and will have a KVM switch just for my mouse and keyboards and audio from my screen (eww) but it will be perfect for servers other than that I might get what ripken told me to get for Speakers anyways..

FYI, I like aluminum cases, the color black and would love to have 120M fans all the way around and plenty of room to work with. and keep it under 200 bucks

I like these two:

The Antec over the other one - any day.

Although I've gotta say, I do love my Antec 900 case.

SImplicity is good. You usually want to stick with the KISS principle.

Thanks and thats awesome, But what PSU would fit that P182 and could you possibly tell me what I would be benefiting from that P182?

Since cases are like underwear, to each his own, I wasn't even going to comment, then you had to say you liked simplicity. ME TOO!

Simplicity to me, means plenty of room for my two DVD burners, my Floppy drive and Internal Card reader and my two HD's.

Also, having enough room inside to I don't have to unplug the drives to get to the ram, etc.

Then there's the matter of 'how large a mobo can it accept' and how many fans can you mount in it?

And, of course will it take the really BIG, dual fan PSU's, without overcrowding the mobo or upper drive bays?

I found a case called the "PacMan Case" which I've been using for quite some time now, for my own PC's and those I've built for others. It's deeper, front to back than many cases and its clean lines and white faceplate make it the most universally acceptable.

I don't say that anyone should run right out and buy a "PacMan" case, but for its sheer simplicity, it tops the list, for me.

Here's the PacMan case NOT fully loaded.

Have fun!

Cheers Mates!

Anything by Antec or Coolermaster. Hands down. Accept no alternative.
