hey guys i am looking at the Enlight Medium Tower P4 Case Model EN-7237AZ right now and what do you guys think about it is it a good case? are theyre any other good mid tower ATX cases under $100? and also will the Enlight Medium Tower P4 Case Model EN-7237AZ work with an EPOX 8K7A motherboard? thanks!

The 7237 is great case. Many people have used them with outstanding results.


You may want to check out the Antec SX1030B.

You can purchase one now for under a $105.00 at NewEgg. Check out this link from the Hot Deals forum.

which one do you think is better the 7237 or SX1030? thanks!

Also look at the INWIN-Q500 it runs about 80 dollars on the newegg site has lots of room to work in. My personal favorite is the addtronics 7896a but that maybe a little bit out of your price range running at least 150 bucks but is an awesome case that will last you awhile.

SX1030 is better. I got mine at Directron for $98. But that's without shipping.

linkified That's the SX1030B in black with a drive door to cover up any conflicting color drives.

While at directron look at the Fong-Kai's. They are compareable to the Antec's in quality.

look at the enermax cs-a1qx-02, its about 73 bucks shipped from ctgdirect.com. It comes with a 300 watt Enermax whisper power supply. Check out the link on eneramx's website... here

Good Luck!

looks like a nice case but is it compatible with the AMD TB 1.4 ghz? and will it work with the EPOX 8K7A mobo?

Hey eshtog, making a case selection is rather difficult. I was in the same quandry as you were just last month. Both the Enlight 7237 and the Antec sx1030b are excellent cases. I opted for the Antec due to its looks and its great cooling. I didn't want to mod my case with a dremel or anything, so this was important for me. It comes with 2 80mm exhaust fans and space for two 80mm intake fans. I stuck 80mm sunon high output fans there and, aside from the noise, they cool great. The Antec does cost a little more money than the Enlight, but I would definately go Antec again if I were to get a new case. I also have an Epox 8K7A, and it runs perfectly.
BTW
I got my Antec sx1030b at www.emscomputing.com for an okay deal of $102 shipped.

man picking out the case is so fricken hard! I like the Antec SX1040 because of the 400w power supply but I liked how the Enermax CS-A1 QX-06 ATX Mid Tower Case w/ 300W PS looks so I am really not sure what to do maybe somebody could give me some advice?

 

[Swanny]

The Enermax costs less. I might go with that if I were ordering for myself, but because I already have a SX1030. One thing to keep in mind is that Enermax makes excellent power supplies, so you will be betting top of the line if you go with them.

EDITED for spelling.

Text Try this site also! These also have the slide out mobo tray.

ok looks like I will be getting the Enermax CS-A1 QX-06 ATX Mid Tower Case w/ 300W PS I like the looks , is 300w enough to power 30gb HD 7200 RPM a DVD ROM, CD-RW, 2 0r 3 fans a gforce 3 512MB of ram?

 

[Gilby]

Well, the A1QX-06 is doing just fine on my Duron750, 256ram, V5 5500, with lots of trimmings. Using an IWILL K266 in it and there was plenty of room. Look for my full review soon.

if you don't all 10 drive bays the sx1030 offers, you can also get the sx830. it's abot $20 cheaper too.

 

[SpeedTrap]

well if its for a AMD then just get the 300w 7237 you dont need the P4 case
