Good inexpensive case

[Xarick]

What is a good inexpensive case that has good airflow, is big enough to handle a large powersupply and an 8800gts, but not a huge server case (like I have now antec 1080).

I like my Lian Li PC7 Plus II which I modded. But you can pick one up for like $90.00 on Newegg.

The 5601 is the better version according to my Casitude scale and the 560x models are often on special at Newegg/ChiefValue - all you get now is a free dual port external SATA slot cover. They have 11" of measued card space. The Tt SViking is based on the same chassis.

I had my current rig components in this case before I switched over to a Cooler Master Mystique 632s. Its a great case and very inexpensive, you can mount one front 120mm and one rear 120mm also the included 90mm fan can be mounted on the side. Its a case I would recommend to anyone and its not overdone on styling. 10/10

its on sale 😀 $25, and its much lighter than my current case.

No way can that handle an 8800GTS video card... Though the Rosewill R6A series can if the hard drives are arranged properly.

Oh, good, a quiz! 😀

Every time I read 'good inexpensive', I think Enermax. They are the King of Cheap!

May I suggest the most excellent Enermax Chakra ECA3052B?

It's available at ClubIT for 55 bones 😉
