Cheap Aluminum full tower?

[Zombeh]

I can't really seem to find any cheap full tower cases. i'm not looking for a gamer one or with a huge side window. i just want one with vents and fan slots. looking under $75 maybe $100.

What do you mean? A normal sized ATX case (approx 18" tall) or a real full tower (meaning 23" or more tall)...

full tower 23'.

Cheap, aluminum, and full tower don't go in the same sentence, however...

How about a GigaByte 3D Aurora? That's kinda cheap!

 

[Zepper]

Yeah, the Aurora is basically a stretch Centurion done up in aluminum.

Thermaltake Eureka - $109. w/free shipping and after rebate at the Egg.

And the Chenming full tower at the Egg is 26" tall. It's made of steel - but shipping's free so who cares about the weight. Just get a mover's dolly to move it around with.

And the Stacker is reasonable at the Egg with the free shipping.

Aerocool Coolview or Masstige/Bay Dream are not tall but are very flexible and capacious for the size.

cheap antec dragon clones have been out for years. many in aluminum, you can get other aluminum cases for below 75 bucks too, but yoiu do get what you pay for, very thin aluminum that doesn't muffle noise at all, and helps harddrives create a racket transmitting their vibrations through the case. spend a tiny bit more and get a antec p180 or something, actually its about 100 bucks or less if you shop around. go to silentpcreview.com for info. you get good design in such a case, cheap generic aluminum means nothing if its got lousy feature sand design
