How to choose a case?

[b4u]

Hi There,

Thinking about upgrading my computer, I must think of the case ...

... What kind of case should I choose?

What about the power I must have to turn on the P4 or AMD with 9700PRO?

Anyone has info about the CHIEFTEC Midi White 340w DX-01W-D?

Thanks

That case is a standard issue clone. very popular. What power supply is that, though?

Chieftec=Antec, and a top-of-the line psu would be Sparkle or Topower.

Antec Trupower won the shootout for PSU's.

Who holds that? I'm not denying that Antec is well above average. Sparkle is at least comparable, however.

The guys here at Anandtech did a test of PSU units and the winner was the Antec Trupower according to them.

Well, I have no more info about the case and it's Power Supply Unit ... what kind of PSU should I look for?

Dunno what 340w DX-01W-D means ... okay so it's about 340w power ... shouldn't this be enough for choosing? What more should I search for in the specs of a case?

Thanks
