I do like the thermaltake Shark case but its a bit too expensive.

That case is quite nice and at a great price! I like that its got 2 fans and a power supply already, you can add a fan in the front as well, its got ventilation on side (not glass window side), front temp. display and fan controller are just extra goodies that make that case a great buy. Thanks dude, great advice. :)

Any more cases are welcome to be shown to me, but it'll be hard to top this one...lol
 
Hard to choose :confused: . I Like the Coolermaster ATC-110(and no, dont try to search it on their site, they dont have it!? But its 500Euro's :eek: ). Also a noname case I do like http://www.perfect-systems.nl/info.asp?Info=57296 . Its pretty nice :D . And some Silverstone cases are cool too :)
 
How many Euro's = 1 US Dollar? lol

Its like 1.50 to the euro
It fluctuates a LOT
 
What do you think the best case is for $50-70 US? PSU doesnt matter as I have a 450 waatt already.

I like this one which is pretty much the same inside as mine ... here

You may need to cut a hole in the acrylic in the side for a fan to increase air flow but lots of room $59.00

Everyone has the style they like but for the size and price, not to mention that alot of other manufactors copied Chenming ... not aluminum but not el cheapo metal either ... fans can be mounted in each removable drive bay .. room to grow :)
 
Ive noticed newegg seems to spontaneously change shipping prices, like that raidmax I posted earlier is now free shipping but wasnt yesterday. Is there any predicatble pattern to it?

I thought I noticed that ... blamed it on the lost of another brain cell ... but I don't think there's a pattern...
 
Well I ordered the Raidmax case for 59.99 with free shipping. That other case looked sweet but too big!

I like all the room I can get.... But in most cases(no pun intended :) ) the choice is the style that's appealing to one's eye... you gotta like looking at it .. lol ... I ordered the XP Mobile 2600 ... should have it by the end of the week... I'll try to be easy on it before I ship it off to ya ... :D

OK I got the case today on the 16th, This weekend I will borrow my friends digi-cam and take some pics and post a review. It is VERY nice, much higher quality than I expeceted. And it has a feature that I didnt expect that has lowered my cpu temp by 10 degrees celsius

Not yet, but the latest one that was posted the $40.00 one that comes with the X-Connect 500Watt power supply looks awesome. :)

Anybody know of a good case that has a elegant brushed steel look?
 
I've got one of these in my girlfriends comp,except its yellow. This thing is taller than my Thermal take Xaser V case, but not as deep , front to back. fan open in the bottom front and 2 outlets in back + psu outlet. pretty stock set up, similar to mine less ram and ge force fx5200 ultra . seems less noisy than my TT. and stays pretty cool, especialy since it doesn't have a 'heater' like my 9800 pro in it :cool:
