A case with room for 92mm exhaust fan?

[z28dreams]

Ok guys,


I've been looking for a fairly inexpensive ($50 max w/o ps or $70 with ps)
case that has a pre-cut hole on the back to fit a 92mm fan.

I do -not- want to hear about cutting it out myself - I'm not gonna do it.
I also do -not- care about 92mm front fans. It must be on the rear of the case.

I've had trouble - since most stuff seems to only fit 80mm.

Include links please!

Most cases that have a 120mm opening on the back can also mount 92 or 80 mm fans. I haven't seen any with a specifically 92mm cutout.
.bh.
Where's the :sun: ?

inexpensive means cutting

I just built a system for mom with an Inwin J508. It was $90 Canadian (about 65USD) with a decent sparkle PSU, comes with a 92mm fan installed on the back. Very quiet, good cooling, reasonable price. I'm thinking of getting one for myself.

Neil are you tied to 92mm? How about 120mm intake and exhaust? I am assuming you want to go to larger fans for more air and less noise.

Directron has THIS case without PSU for $39. The same frame/chassis with a different front bezel and PSU included is available as an Antec SLK3700AMB from almost everyone for around $70-80. This case's great air flow has earned it the Intel Thermally Advantaged Air Guide designation. All the hard drives mount with rubber grommets in front of the intake fan, so it will keep them cool/quiet as well.

I'll actually second what Matt has to say there. I am putting together a spare parts computer to sell in order to afford a better case for myself. I have the option of the In-win for about $85 CAN or that Antec for about $110. The Inwin is nice, good quality, quiet, and has a built in air duct for the cpu that appears to actually work. It only has one 80mm fan mount in front though.

The Antec has those 2 120mm fan mounts though. It does not come with the quiet version of the Antec PSU though. Problem is I may have to wait more than a week for it to come in stock and I'll be computerless for a few days if someone bites on the old system.
