Hi all, I'm looking for a case, an wondered what people thought about these. This is sort of a continuation of this thread (http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1325308), but I have ordered my mobo and CPU but no case, and wondered what people like the best, and why. I will eventually have a decent VC in there, and I'm pretty sure they can all handle it. I'm assuming I will need to get an additional PS no matter what route I go (although I can probably rely on the Microfly's PS for a couple months until I upgrade my VC). Ultimately, I would like to order the case tonight, so chime in with all you can! Cheaper would be nicer, but I'd rather have something nice for a few years then regret it.
MB: ASUS P5E-VM HDMI
CPU: E8400 retail w/ stock cooler
VC: 7600GT, with major upgrade by the end of the year
Thanks in advance!
