AeroCool Magic 3D: Good, Sturdy Case?

[danklumpp]

I'm thinking of building a computer soon, and I have looked at the AeroCool Magic 3D case alot. It has great cooling and has a sleek design. Any opinions, feel free to say them.

I didn't know where else to post this, so does anyone think this is a great deal for a build?; I personally feel it is for $1329:

AMD Athlon 64 3700 (754-pin)
Corsair XMS 1 GB Low Latency PC3200 RAM
HIS Hightech ATI Radeon X800 XT PE 🙂
Western Digital 160 GB SATA 7200 RPM Hard Drive
eVGA NVTV Single TV Tuner / FM Radio Receiver
AeroCool Magic 3D Black Computer Case
Rosewill 500 Watt ATX Power Supply
eVGA Nvidia nForce3 Ultra Motherboard
Sony 52x Combo Drive
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition

It's fine, but some of the other cases are better for cooling.

Btw you really want a 3700+? Why not go 939? Also, that Rosewill psu might kill your system especially with that X800XTPE. Time to invest in a higher quality power supply. Take a look at the OCZ Modstream 420. I think it got a deal from $80 to $65 on Newegg.

Take a look at the Coolermaster Centurion and the Coolermaster Cavalier. Just for more options. If you're looking for a gamer look but not willing to sacrifice on cooling:

Read some good reviews on that. Pretty much unrestricted airflow at the front where you need it the most.

Thanks- Right after I posted, I found a better AeroCool power supply. I'm getting socket 754 because it's cheaper right now. The only bad thing is that it doesn't support dual channel. 🙁

I would drop the XMS RAM down to some Corsair VS and go Socket 939 with PCI-E.

You'll definately want to go with socket 939. You can get a socket 939 3200+, and you'll still be happier than if you got a 754 3700+. And drop the ram down to Corsair VS. And finally, I vote "no" on that case. Get an Antec.

There are reviews out there on that case - easy to find w/ google.
