Need help choosing ATX Cases for the following rigs...

3991vhtes · Dec 2, 2007

They need to be cheap. I'm asking because I need help figuring out a good case that would have the proper airflow, for each system. Each case can't be above $60.

Rig 1:
ECS 775-A2 Socket 754 mobo
AMD Sempron 2800+
Crazy heatsink and fan :eek:

512MB DDR SDRAM PC3200
80GB HDD
GeForce FX5700 AGP
1 DVD / CD Combo drive

Rig 2:
Abit AN7
Athlon XP 3000+
Water cooling
256MB DDR SDRAM PC2700
10GB HDD
SAPPHIRE Radeon 9600pro AGP
1 CD Drive

Rig 3:
Abit BX6 Slot 1 mobo
Intel Celeron 433MHz on a slocket
Just a heatsink, no fan
576MB SDRAM
10GB HDD
MGA Matrox PCI
1 CD Drive
1 CD burner

Thanks :toast:

You beat me to that!
The other thing to ask is if you are wanting all three to be the same or different Cases for each one??

how much you goin to spend on each case? looking at those rigs you only need a base model case for each one, no over heating problems there

3991vhtes · Dec 3, 2007

For each rig:
Rig 1- $40
Rig 2- $45
Rig 3- $20
