Best Case for KT7-Raid with tbird

[Flats]

Getting ready to build new computer - first time. Decided on the main componets. Biggest problem is what case - cooling, expandable, at least 3hd. does power supply 300 have to be a amd approved. really confused on this as there seem to be alot of nice cases out there.

Been going through the same thing myself and building pretty much the same thing.

I went through two different vendors/thought trains:

One, a local store called PCs for Everyone. They have the
Inwin Q500.

The other option was www.gamepc.com. They have several nice
cases (I liked the Coolermasters but not for $300!) and was going
to get the Addtronics 6896A. In the end, I decided to go local shopping. If the case isn't AMD power supply approved and something busts, I bring it back and say 'Fix it'.

The only bummer was that I really liked the 6896A. I wish the local store had it....

I love my Addtronics 6896a!!!!!

Call Jim at CoolCases.com ( phone on website. ) He is great, will stear you in the right direction and no BS. Decent price and low price on shipping. Mine was $16 from MN to TX.

See my setup below..

The Antec SX1030 is a good case with AMD approved 300W power supply, less expensive than the Addtronics.

MyChaseShop has the SX1030 for $83.50 shipped. (The shipping is free if you register on their site.) I bought my Antec KS282 from them.
