i hate it. first of all the psu is crap. and the case only has 80mm fans, no 120mm. but thats me. it all depends on how much heat your parts will make so give me a list of ur components.

[Nerwin]

alright (just to let you know my budget is $100)

P4 with HT 3.2ghz 800fsb

1 gig of ram

Foxconn 661FX7MF mATX form factor of 9.6" x 8.3" motherboard

thats it right now i will be getting a video card soon.

Is there any more info you need to know?

EDIT: i will be getting another PSU just not right, BTW what kind of psu do you recommend?

PSU:

enermax, vantec, antec. the PSUs from those companies are moderately priced, and are excellent power supplies.

[ripken204]

well if u rly want that case then just make sure u max out the fans on it. look at newegg.com for another case if u want to

[Nerwin]

i am putting more fans i'm having like 6 or 7 fans in it.

[ripken204]

well i guess ur fine then, bit its going to be very loud

Looks don’t say all, but I would go for a good case, a mid-tower that is made out of 0.8mm SECC steel. Also take a case with a good power supply or buy a separate power supply (like more people say) and just the case without it, but that will properly not fit in your budget.

What ever you do, don’t o only for looks, crappy 0.6mm steel is not that you want, also plastic that is used for the frond is sometimes cheap, thin and ugly.

Look at this one for example:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811129127

I know it’s a bit more then your budget (to send it is also 16 bucks), don’t see any thing about handling. But you will have a good housing and a good power supply that will have enough power to run a 6800Ultra but not a 7800GT(X). If you want to buy a 7800GT(X) later, you will have to buy a power supply of 550Watts but that doesn’t fit in your budget now.

I hope I helped you a bit, also those fans, this Antec case has enough airflow as it comes .

Terrific recommendation. I wouldn't go with anything else if I was on that budget. In Punto I Trust. hehehehe

i have like 6 fans in mine and it's not too loud, Loudness dont really bother me becasue i will get used to it, and i never had a pc that would not work right. and i dont really use my pc that much i'm not a gamer i'm usually on it like 3 to 4 hours a day.

This case sounds good: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...&Tab=1&NoMapp=0

[puntoMX]

okay, so you go for looks and not for good stuf? You like 0.6mm steel and cheap plastic windows? No powerfull video cards?

Just give us some information about your needs please, and you only buy thing in TigerDirect?

[Nerwin]

i hate new egg becasue they p***ed off one day! do i have to keep saying this?

i am not a gamer

and i have 0.6 steel on my computer right now and i had no issues with it. and i will be buying a better psu and a good video card and a good sound card too.

ComputerMan, stop being stubborn. PuntoMX knows his stuff! Saying you won't purchase a quality case from a site because it p***ed you off once is like saying you aren't going to a new school again after the first day because the kid that sat behind/next to you happened to be a real immature jerk to gave you a wedgie infront of the class. You don't like Newegg, then get that case from another site! PuntoMX wouldn't have posted here had I not given him the link to the thread. He knews a lot more about cases than I do. Take his advice. You will not regret it.

ComputerMAN, sorry, didn’t see your age.

But you never told us why you would like to buy on TigerD., I was just asking you, also, when you ask people what they think about things then tell them why you want a case for (looks for you, I know now).

Just buy any thing you like if you already know what you want, why ask people?

And be more specific next time please
