Case for Duron

i've got that case powering a thunderbird system right now, so if it's power you're concerned about, it's great. i think it a fantastic case in almost every respect. it fits together snugly, screwless entry, the front cover comes off in a snap, and the airflow is pretty good. the holes in the front also make great "pilot" holes if you want to increase the intake for a bigger fan someday.
 
Put a 300Watt power supply in an Enlight 7237 and you have an excellent case for a Duron.

Enlights are reasonably priced and well-built. And if you enjoy modifying a case they are a dream come true. Before this afternoon I'd already put in two blowholes and swapped out the stock LED's for bigger, brighter blue ones. Today I cut out the fan covers in the upper rear below the power supply and lower front behind the bezel.

I put a finger guard over the opening in the rear (where I have an exhaust fan) and of course, the bezel covers the opening in the front (where I have an intake fan). Speaking of the bezel, I drilled out the bezel's small vent holes -- they're approximately 4 times bigger now.

The latest mods dropped the CPU and case temps about 5 degrees. Current cpu temp: 35C. Current case temp: 23C.

My specific results with Durons:

D600 @ 900MHz (before any blowholes, etc.)
D700 @ 1083MHz (after blowholes. Haven't tried for more speed with the latest mods ... yet! 😉)
