Best case, and why?

[Bonger]

Hi, im putting together an atlon 1700+ system. What is the best case to get? Money is not really an object. I want a case tat i can use permanently, so full tower is prolly best.

Thanks for any info.

I love my case, and it seems to be a very popular case. Alienware uses this case for some of their systems. I have the Antec SX1040b. It's the black version of the SX1040 (everything else is the same). It is also the same case as the SX1030, and a few others...and I think it's offered by different companies with different PSUs. Mine comes with an Antec 400W PSU. it's got 4 internal drive bays, 2 external 3.5" bays (in the same cage as one of the internals). 4 External 5.25" bays. It's got tons of room to move around in, 4 80mm fan mounts (including one in the HD cage), and a closing (locking) door that makes the whole thing look pretty sweet. The drive cages are awesome. They slide in and lock in place with a lever. It's a large, heavy case, but it's really sweet.

Antec SX1030, SX830, SX840, SX1040 are all great cases. plenty of space to work with and great upgrading potential.

Antec SX8xx or an SX10xx

Yeah, Ive heard as lot of good things about antec. How about chieftec, Fong Kai, Lian LI, Nikao and enermax. Various versions of these caught my eye on newegg. The Lian Li looks especially nice since it has front usbs. Does any case come with a built in temp. gauge?

They are awsome. Esp considering the price (cheap cheap!)

There are cases at colorcases.com that have temp gauges built in... I can't remember the names but look down their model list.
