Greetings, If you are reading this then without a doubt you know I am looking for help choosing the right case for my system. At the moment I am looking at 3d cools tornado 2000. THE AMK-3333 case... I am unsure as to the best case for my needs. Why am I buying a case well, the reason to that, is because these people specialize in this, and I want to get a case that can handle
1 over clocking,
2 handle 3 Hard drives=
2 IBM 75 GB/GXP Hard drives,
1 Seagate 40 GB Hard drive.
3 Plextor 16/10/40,
4 NEC dvd rom
5 3 128 meg = 384 megs of ram
6 currently it has a crap Slot A motherboard, but it houses a 950 mhz athlon thunderboard. I am getting a new motherboard soon which has 4 ide or 3 ide ports(there has to be one out there 😀
7 1 64mg Geforce 2 GTS
8 1 3com server NIC
9] SBLIVE
I think thats about it... I need a case that can give me really good cooling, thats not too... loud(well it prob will be loud... and I will get used to it lol).
The next question is should I put a 400 watt or 300 watt in this case? I am using a 300 watt now.
Thanks prior to all help you guyz can give me. 😛
 
I really recommed you to use a Antec SX830, those are great, great for stablity, thermal solutions, (four fan connctions... [two back, two front], 300Watt power supply, Three CD ROM drive holders, three HD holders, one small zip drive bay, and one A: drive bay. Also a latch side case opening, with KEY! This is a great case, I highly recommedn it, especially for your need =)
 
Also check out the Sx1030 by Antec, it has a litte more expansion room, but other then that is basically the same as the 830. Both are great cases and will work fine. While I htink a 300 watt would be enough, if you have the money opt for the 400watt PS.
