Help me find this case

[thuper]

I'm looking for a case and haven't found one with what I want yet.
I could use some help.

Things I'm looking for:

Tall case (18"+), something like a Chieftec clone
Must have a door - drives are ugly
I DO NOT prefer aluminum.
I would like it to have 120mm exhaust
I do not need a power supply with it
I would really like it to be less than $120
Color is not a big deal


The nicest thing I've found so far is http://svc.com/blk-atx-case331.html but I really want 120mm ports.


Can you guys help?

What about this?

Cases with 120MM intake (front intake) are really rare, so that is probably your most limiting factor.
Why not go with 120mm rear and 80mm front?

i have a very similar case (Antec slk3700AMB). the problems described concerning problems with air intake were fairly easy to fix for me. remove the front bezel and cut the stock grill on the front intake. with the bezel on there is no need for a fan grill, and i have no problem feeling the air being sucked into the case now - both from the outside of the case and inside. i can feel fresh air being blown all the way to the pci/agp slots and it keeps my HDDs nice and cool. with the case you posted (the BQE) the HDDs are mounted facing the side which is nice for accessibility, but i think it hurts air flow, especially if the cage is not full. i have 2/4 HDDs slots taken in my drive cage, mounted every other slot. this allows for 2 large holes for air to get through and cool the HDDs very well.

I guess I don't need two 120mm holes, but I really would like it for the exhaust.

go with the antecs listed earlier... they match your requests to the 'T' i think...

Silverstone has a new case coming out with 120mm front and rear fans, if you haven't already picked one.
I've never personally used a Silverstone case, but the review sites seem to like it.

It's the Silverstone Temjin TJ-02

Take your pick on who's review you want to read:

This is a pretty case but it is a little expensive:

Thermaltake Tsunami

I also like the Antec 3700SLKAMB It is almost Identical to this case on the inside. I like the drive cage with the rubber mounts to cut down on vibration. It is what I am using now.

AGPB/Athenatech 800 series. - easy to mod for a front 120 and has 120 rear with room for a number of other fans.
. Enermax 10181 series - dual 80s front and rear plus places for others.
Plus the PCMCIS PCM-TP030SB the best looking version of this case since the Enermax Titanium (now made of unobtainium) (only at Outpost.com and Fry's AFAIK). Two 80s at the rear and easy to mod in a 120 at the lower front if you need. Here are some pix of another version: Pix . Excellent case - totally toolless including the mobo mounts.

There's the :sun: !

P.S. Looks like the Enermax Titanium is back - I just did a Froogle search and it came back with several hits. But I still like the looks of the PCMCIS better.bh.
