my cousin wants to get a comp for his bday, hes young.

he wants a cool looking gamer case.
he wants a sidewindow and led lights.
needs to have good airflow and keep the parts cool.
he really wants red leds so i will probably replace the fans in the case with red led thermaltake fans.

this was the case i was going to get him but he wants a side window.

i was thinkin that too but i dont like the fact that you cant do cable management.
 
i see a circle on the side vent is it possible to add a side fan to that case?
and are the front fans attached to the hd bay? would it be easy to replace the 2 front fan and the rear 120mm with red led fans?

You know alot of people flame NZXT...but I have reallllly enjoyed their cases. Especially the guardian, just great looking. But might I suggest?:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146030 - Cool looking + cheap. Which is good for young gamers because you can't avoid getting angry at the game. And if he kicks/punchs this...who cares right? My old Guardian took a beating...but I really do miss that case.

ya i was actually going to get that case for myself. would that keep a 8800 and e6400 cool? and does that case allow for good cable management?

I can imagine it would. NZXT cases have always been good for cooling, IMHO.

Plus they look cool as %^&$

$100+ case isn't worth it if it's going to get beaten. Why not go cheaper like this one?

Cheapest one at newegg that that comes with a window. In any case I'd say sub $50 is more than enough to serve as a punching bag.
 
the antec 900 looks way better than any of them cases and will have better cooling and if u take the time u will get the cables right
 
I have an Aspire, the one with those three gauges on the front thats always on the front page of the newegg case section. The next case I am looking at is the Antec P180, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129154, such an amazing looking case for $129, thats about the max I would spend on a case. Anyway, I heard someone talking about a P190, I think it's almost $500, I don't even need to say it, with $500 I could do a core 2 upgrade and get a stellar looking case like the P180.

What is growing out of the front of that case?????:eek:
Now this is a gamer kids case:http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=114&products_id=1898 looks cool and even comes with a dust cloth!:D
 
people tend to flame nzxt (like previous poster said) but i enjoy my nzxt apollo, not to gamery (is that a word) but its sleek, cools well and is quiet. my vote goes for an nzxt case
