Got my x1950xt in last night, and it was a very tight fit for my case I currently got. I'm getting my 3600 brisbane tomorrow, and plan on just letting it sit in it's box till I get a new case.

I'm looking to spend up to around 50-75 bucks on a good case with airflow, and plenty of room for my video card. I've been looking over on newegg, and found some of these cases. What do you guys think? If you know of any not listed let me know, and thanks for your opinions.

PS I hate LED fans :)

*Don't know if my x1950xt will fit comfortable in there*

Enter- rosewill -into the search field at the top of the first page of the CC section and you'll find my thread. If you're interested in a $100. + sh. aluminum case for under $50 shipped AR, check out the CM Mystique 531 at http://www.svc.com . Doesn't meet all my casitude factors like the R5601 does, but it's a good buy - even better the closer to the left coast you live. You may also want to see what http://www.jab-tech.com has going on as they are just out east of OKC a ways. Maybe you could drive over and pick it up... They are one of my favorite resellers.

Of the ones you mentioned:

Enermax Chakra - hands down! :D

Never seen a Lian Li I liked! They're just plain weird...

CoolerMasters are, like, soooooo last century!

Enermax is the King of Cheap!!! Always have been...

Personally, I'd get a black one but to each his own!

BTW, check out the ratings on the case above... :)

Another vote for the Chakra (it's not "Chikara" :)) Just make sure you're not trying to fit a monster CPU heatsink in and you should be golden. Check out my old thread on the Chakra.
