Good Case

Hi all, I'm looking for a good case with a power supply of 400w. I now have the Antec sx1040 sho server case and love it. But I will be making that box a web server. I would like something new and a little smaller. I like the pull out hard drive bays and floppy bays and the rails for 5 1/4 bays. I would like to have some usb up front and maybe a firewire up front also. Something sturdy in structure with smooth edges. This box will be for gaming. I would like the case fans to be quiet. The Antec case I have now sounds like a tornado with all its fans🙂. I will have 2 hard drives, ati 9700 pro video card, on board nic, aureal sound card. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
 
I can't believe this case is still sitting there available in the refurb section at Newegg:

Aopen A600B for $79 shipped

It's aluminum, has a nice big (quiet) 120mm exhaust fan, front USB2.0/1394, nice PSU, yada yada yada. Read a review:

Will somebody freaking PLEASE buy that case?! It's sitting there torturing me! I'm about to build a third computer for my house just to buy that nice case! Good grief.

True...if he really wants a 400W he can always resell the 380 or find somewhere that sells the case without PSU, and throw a 400 in.

jjadamsYou could also consider the new Antec P160, it ships without PSU IIRC.

Since I like Newegg, I'll give you the link to that Lian-Li case for $123: Lian-Li PC-61

You can read customer reviews of that case via a link on the Newegg product page.
