-ATX
- a led monitor on it
- acrylic window
- good cooling ( at least 2 fans coming with it if possible )
- i dont need the psu
- under 100 $
- good brand like antec and such

Thanks guys
 
Step 1) There's a thread about this on the first page.

Step 2) Click the thingy that says "search" up near the top.

Step 3) This hurts my brain.

:rolleyes:
 
This subject is all about personal tastes. You need to figure this out for yourself.

Here's some pointers:

You get what you pay for. a 20 dollar case is a 20 dollar case

Don't count on included PSU's to be worth a crap. Some are, most aren't.

Bigger the diameter of the case fans, the less noisy they tend to be.

The case you have picked out is pretty nice. I don't like it for the following reasons:

But Ugly
front door opens the wrong way
uses two 80mm fans instead of one 120mm on the back...noisy

I went with the RaidMax Titanium (black) Virgo 811w, which the egg doesn't carry. They carry the white windowless 811T one.
 
waddles i did see that before but he didnt want the led thing and acrylic windows which is what im looking for. sry if i hurt ur head lol... Can you guys help me find a good one? are these better than my antec u guys think?

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-133-142&depa=1 does the one from the link above have a floppy drive??

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-201-002&depa=1
the link above looks pretty good, does it come with fans or does it jus have slots for it?

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-133-121&depa=1 this doesnt have a lot of pictures, does it have the HDD optical and floppy slots?


they all fit on a msi neo 2 right? ( cuz of atx or w/e?)

If u find a better one plz post here
 
<BuMp> plz help im going to order evrything in the 15th ! I swear i wont bother u guys no more after that!

Thank you
 
There are so many good cases out there. Coolermaster Cavalier is one of my top pics because its so high quality. You could get a Silverstone or Lian Li too and expect good quality. Get an aftermarket PSU from Enermax, PC Power and Cooling or SilenX. Don't use included PSUs. If possible buy a case without a PSU.
 
I have a Lian Li and I love it because everything is top notch. The only problem is you pay a top notch price for it.
