another case thread, but not exactly for myself

[board2death986]

I myself don't go this cheap but i need a cheap case below 60 or possibly 70 bucks that has decent ventilation and isnt too flashy, not completely biege like the piece of crap that's rotting in my room in the scrap heap, but not RICERISH either.

As for myself im running a modded tsunami dream, and i have a file server waiting to be built that i want to put into a CM stacker, and just pile a shitload of fans and HDD's into it and put int a half decent CPU/GPU for sideboarding as a dedicated game server.

Anyway if you got a link that works, I dont need the cheap case to have a PSU, i got a 300w and a 400w lying around, my bro just needs it for music, word processing and the occasional mild gaming, but he doesnt need a monster, so im just building him a modest computer. I just need a case that will keep quiet.

Over the years I've probably built 30+ systems in this case from Enlight (including my wife's system - sitting behind me).

We use them in the lab and the power supplies really take a beating and keep on running just fine. The cases are well made and great to work with. I can highly recommend one of these.

You can find them in black as well. This is one very quiet and affordable case. Several quiet PC builders make minimal mods and sell them under the Acousticase or other name for over $150!

For a little bit more ($99) you could get the Antec Sonata II its very quiet, very good cooling (without the cpu duct) and comes with a decent psu (450W)

...glad it worked out, board2death986 - as I said, I've used a pile of these and now that I think of it, even in the lab where we do "un-natural" things to the platforms, I don't recall ever replacing a PSU. You'll appreciate the construction; darn solid cases, IMHO.

Have fun - B.B.S.
