Hey everyone, lookin to buy a new case this friday and need your help. The new Antecs look great (P160 lanboy2) IMO. But to tell the truth i havent seen many of the cases out there and i dont know the prices on either of the new Antecs.

So opinions needed!


THANKS

I myself am about to buy a silver Cheiftec Server Case.... Cheiftecs are nice and large so you don't need to worry about cramming all your hardware together, and they're pretty easy to keep cool as a result.

Plus, the price is right for what you get. $69.00 for a large case like Cheiftec is not too shabby at all.

The Antec SLK3700 ($78.50 +sTx, shipped from Staples) or the Compucase DA series ($66. shipped from Newegg).
Really the same design SLK has a door, DA doesn't. 120mm fans in and out.
.bh.

I just got a Chenbro Xpider. It has a 120mm mount in the back, and a 92mm in the front, larger fans cool better and are quieter than 80mm. I'll never go back to dual 80mm fans after using my 120mm sunon, which I barely hear. The Xpider looks awesome if you put a cathode in it. The black part on the front actually lights up kinda like those Alienware cases. I got here here: A few cases under $100.

Thanks guys , your input is appreciated.

Think im still gonna wait on the new lanboy or P160.

Or actually Raidmax has a great HUGE case for under 100 with a side and top window and PS

price is right too Text
