Can I get some input on this case?

Its a cheap case @ $23 and $13 shipping, which is good. What Im most impressed with is where the power supply goes. I think the design will allow for better heat dissipation overall. That large 120mm fan up top blowing out all the hot air that rises. 120mm in the front pulling in fresh. The power Supply has a 120mm fan on it too... Just need a fan on the side also.

You will have rattles and insanely annoying vibrations after 8 months. A cheap case always gets that. Just be prepared to silence it later on :)

I love my Lian Li case and would suggest it to anybody. Excelent layout on the inside, all aluminum ... mine has an air filter in the front I clean about once a month. I love it.

I bought a cheap case for a friends computer who was trying to save some money ... worst computer experience I've had. It was a POS. I had a hard time getting the drives to fit well, the side pannel was a pain to get on and off and bent easily. It sucked.

I wouldn't skimp too bad on the case. You'll pay for it one way or the other.

I know the case I have now I paid $50 for locally and it included a power supply. Im assuming its a cheap case overall, no issues.

Them cases are nuts and ugly. Reminds me of Audiobahn. lol

I paid about $110 iirc, without a power supply. I love it. Which cases are you looking at? lol. Lian Li doesn't look anything like audiobahn. There are plenty out there that do though. Some of those coolermaster cases and other are pretty out there with all their neon lights and stuff.

Ack...

I still got a hard drive and video card to buy.

Im gonna go ahead and get the case I posted or the same case in silver (its $4 cheaper?) as I just dont have that much money. I hate doing stuff like this on a shoestring budget, its very bad at the moment.

That's just the way it is ... I fully understand. I do the same thing with nearly everything. About to do it with my stereo too. Sometimes the money just isn't there. Any case at all is better then no case. And sometimes that's the only option.

Slowly but surely...

Snagged it today, specs are rather awesome compared against the others.

Also got my needed case fan for the front.

Next up is a hard drive and probably operating system and Im ready to go.

Last week I bought a SATA CD burner for $28 shipped. Never knew they had SATA CD/DVD drives? lol
