I am looking for a cheap full tower case to mod. I tried looking for a rocketfish at the bestbuy in my neighborhood but they didnt have any. The case must be a bottom loaded PSU. I only need 2 5.25" bays and 3 3.5" bays, or it could be all 5.25" bays with a 4 in 3 module, or no 3.5" hard drive bays for the lower part of the pc, clearance for 4-5 inches from pc bottom to the closest 5.25"or 3.5" bay. Also it must have enough room at the top to house at least a 2x120mm radiator with fans, maybe even a 3x120mm with fans. My spending price up to $100, case material is preferably aluminum or a combination of aluminum and steel, with little or no plastic components on the exterior. I don't really care about the brand name as long it as it goes with the requirements.



Thanks,
Mark
 
Centurion 590 big enough? Roughly $65. Check the thread to see if it fits your needs as the fans across the top MAY not have enough depth for you (assuming a deep radiator/fans).
 
Not really any full towers at that price level, especially without much plastic or wrong layout.
(Chieftec isn't even available outside Europe, neither is Sharkoon Rebel12)

Lian Li A77 would be best fit but costs much more.
 
One chassis: Rocketfish Full Tower.

Though I'm not sure if that deal is still continuing at Best Buy or not. If it is, then that fits perfectly with your requirements. It comes to about $47-77 (depending on store).

Mine is serving a great purpose currently. Silent as hell too. :)
 
Yea I've checked 2 best buys near here they don't seem to have them in stock. I wanted a chieftec but, since they don't sell out of europe then I can't really get one. And yea my third option is the Lian Li Pc-70B with the optional 3x120mm top panel. The reason is so I can cool xfired 4870x2s with efficiency and no over heating. I'm planning to upgrade before October. The reason I wanted a rocketfish or similar below $100 is I didn't want to chop up a nice expensive case over $100. I'll check some other stores outside Portland to see if they have a rocketfish in stock.
 
Still no luck with the rocketfish case. I ended up ordering just 1 visiontek 4870x2. lets hope it fits in the antec 900 or I will be stuck with the my current graphics card. How is the cosmos s by cooler master? I looked at that one but it looks like it can't fit a 2x120mm radiator in the front, also can the lian li PC-A77B fit the 2x120mm radiator in the front? from the looks of the picture the A77b is most likely going to fit a 4870x2 but will the cosmos s? If the A77b fits these requirements and the cosmos S doesn't, I will order this case on tuesday.

Thanks,
Mark
 
Where do you live? I have an original Stacker I'd part with, but unless you're close, shipping would be atrocious on that beast.
