I am shopping around for a new case, and am looking for good links to large selections of cases, such as directron.com and newegg.com.
For example, I got this excellent link from a post at amdmb.com: http://www.nolody.com/complinks/cases.html

So far I have not yet found the perfect match for what I am looking for:
- a case no deeper/longer than 18" (457mm), no heiger than 20" (508mm)
- room for 120mm intake fan (okay if I have to mod)
- room for 2x80mm or bigger exhaust fans (1 x 120mm is interesting too)
- front bezel needs to allow for good airflow to intake fan
- front USB/audio would be nice, but not a must
- prefer beige case for my beige components, but aluminum is okay too, just haven't found one shorter than 18"

Two close matches were the Enermax CS-003-106 (crappy bezel) and the Jou Jye JJ-1929 (too long, not yet available).

Any other suggestions?

Thanks...

Check out the Addtronics 6896A w/front USB

1) 17.41" D x **21.26" H**
2) can hold 12 120mm fan up front
3) has a 92" mm exhaust
4) front panel has good airflow
5) front USB/firewire
6) beige


I have an Addtronic 7890A/Supermicro 750A and it's been a great case. Excellent workmanship and features.

Good suggestions. Colorcases has the most extensive collection of original looking cases I have come across. There's a few in there that come close. So does the Addtronics, really nice case (although a tad too high for the spot wher I need it).

But the reason why I want 2 exhaust fans is because the HSF on the Gigabyte 7VRXP motherboard sits right next to the exhaust fan. It partially blocks it actually. I'd rather have 2 exhaust fans, so that one can truly work on exhausting hot air from the case.

Thanks!
