Hello all,

I was looking for advice on case in $50 to $100 range.

I was more looking for advice on those cases with good quality and solidness. Don't care about windowed cases. Need a case with room to spare and to grow into.

I am considering the Antec Performance line, Roswill TU-155, Cooler Master Centurion.

Any thoughts? :rolleyes:
 
do you already have a psu? what kind of cooling are you going with? any preference on the material (steel vs. aluminum)?
 
Well the one I have now is a Thermaltake Soprano. It's a pretty decent case. The screwless stuff in it sucks though but is easy to bypass or remove. It has a lot of drive bays. Sturdier then the Tsuasmi if you care about that. The front door is made of cheap plastic which isn't the greatest. Case wieghs about 40 pounds. But it's pretty good overall I think.
 
I just bought a Coolermaster Centurion 5 last night, its great, alot of space, only things that some might not like is no mobo tray, hard to remove front bezel, need a phillips for removing 5.25 bay covers, and in order to remove the bezel, you have to remove all the 5.25 disk drives installed.

The last one is the only one that i really don't like

I just picked mine up at a local computer shop w/out psu for 60$+tax :)

As for temps, it actually has the same temps my other case would have running the side panel off, and this is with the case all together! Airflow is pretty good, and the front 80mm blows right on 2 of the harddisk slots. Can get pics upon request :)
 
No, I don't have a PSU yet. Don't care about the material and not sure about cooling.
