Im really interested in a light, midsize aluminum case with no front door, and if possible front usb ports...

So many cases out there and yet none seem to fit my wants ::boohoo::

 
ya i was looking into that case awhile back... pretty nice from reviews ive seen.
however, i am trying to stay away from a case with front door. I have the antec 1030 right now
but if i wanted a case with watercooling built in, i think id definitely go koolance

Nothing comes CLOSE to this beast when we're talking air cooling. You can run:

3 120mm fans
4 80mm fans
1 300mm crossflow fan

All at the same time. I wanted one of these so bad...just too far outside my price range.
 
I absolutely love my Cooler Master Praetorian. I got the all silver edition and, with 2 silver CD drives, the case looks like a piece of artwork, if you're into very simplistic modern art. Note the temps below. I've never been happier with any other case than my Praetorian.

CoolerMaster Rocks.
 
not trying to drag this thread back from the dead, but thought it easier than making a new one 😛

anyways, i gave up on the chenbro gaming bomb 2 awhile back, seems too mac'ish and although chenbro does make some slick cases (quality wise) ive turned my eye to the silverstone temjin tj04 and tj02 cases.

my biggest draw towards them are the aluminum, no front door, 120mm fans internal, as well as front usb/firewire/audio/mic

does anyone have one of these cases? im curious on if it is a tight fit like ive seen some reviews state...

i would be tossing in an asus sli-deluxe, 6800gt pci-e, and a 500w ocz powerstream, and a thermalright xp-120.

Thanks..
 
Should haved no problem with those cases. My friend got a tj04

I like my 7U QuadOpt850, and lian li pc-v2100b DualOpt250
 
As far as the cases being cramped..

Just check the depth of the case.. 18" and under will be cramped. 20" & > will be better..

Regards,
Jose
