Ok, I cannot decide on a case. I have narrowed it down to 3 cases however.

First off, I like this one for the 120mm fans, and it really looks good. The thermometer is cool, and the number of drive bays is a good number as well.

I like the CD thing on this Enermax, innovative. It has a nice look to it, and I like the sideways hard drives. The number of 80mm fans does not bother me, my HSF is loud enough =) (7k Delta)

I've always liked the black Xasers. I don't like the silver ones, but the black ones are nice. Again, fans don't bother me, and I actually like the side fans over my Radeon 9800pro.


Whatever case I get, it will either have an Antec True Power 480w or a Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480w, still haven't decided which.
 
i would go with the first one, lots of modding ideas with that
 
I would go with the first one also....

for one reason, it has 2 x 120mm Fans for good air flow and the other reason is that I don't like the 2nd case at all, and the ThermalTakes are everywhere and overpriced to me.
 
i know peopel wil hate me to death for this...

but if you like how the xaser looks...with a little moddin

I think I've decided to go with the enermax. I'm gonna replace all the fans with green LED fans, and then put in two green ccfl's. I'm gonna cut my name into the side, and then maybe a logo for a game or something. I haven't really decided yet. I dunno if i want Lime cut into the side with like the name done with holes, or completely cut out. It'll be across the top. Then I was thinking of putting the CS logo in the lower right corner.
 
I liked the look of the Enermax about best too. Can't imagine why you would want those ports on the top though :confused:
 
I like to space my HDD out, so I went with a case with atleast 6 drive bays for 3.5". I like working in a bigger case, and yeah, I'm getting into modding
 
Wow that enermax one is really neat! I like that front opening for the cdrom. Thats my choice and its cheap! I hate thermaltake cases they are just dont sit right with me for some reason.
 
you might like this one .

It's basicly an antec/chieftec rip but still a nice cheap aluminum case. It has the sideways HD rack like you like. But without that blue translusent thing that the enermax has. Plus, lots of room for modding and hiding wires. I've always liked this style case, and at last i've found one where the "eye" things match the case color.
 
thats not bad, but its more expensive than the enermax, and I think the enermax will work out nicely for me. thanks for the suggestion.
 
no problem, i like it, but i'm trying to find something with decent size..made of aluminum..but DOESNT look like the classic antec/chieftec case. it's rather hard to find.
 
hahaha yeah, I know what you mean. Ahanix (sp?) has some nice cases, I dunno about aluminium
