Poll: Lightest, Best Case?

[scarfase99]

Hey guys, here's my current setup:

Athlon 650
Giga-byte G1-7x MBoard
512MB Ram
SB Live Platinum 5.1 w/ Live Drive IR
3 HD's, (1 45gig, 2 13gig)
Floppy
DVD-Rom
Smart & Friendly 12X Burner w/ SCSI Card
Modem
Network Card
Matrox G450 Video Card

Now, nothing is overclocked, and i was just wondering what's the best case to get. I've been looking into Antec SX Cases, but not sure cuz of their size. I move around a lot, so a light case is important, and also one that is easy to work with. So....for these standards, what's the best bang for my buck?

Thanks

The Lian Li PC-60 is very nice. All Aluminum, rounded edges, roomy and nice layout. Very cool look. And light.

The downside is that it's expensive... Like $180-200. But if you want a real nice case, that's easy to work with, decent cooling, light, and looks super sweet stock, this is an excellent case.

I have a SX830. Its not small or portable but sure is nice to work on...

enlights are generally heavy. I like my lian li pc-60. It is definately the lightest case I had, looks good, keeps cool. Inwin and Enlight cases are nice, but heavy. Antec sx830...huge....lots of room, and fans...but not mobile

Here's another vote for the PC60

I've got a question about the Lian-Li cases. I notice that they have a USB version for a few bucks more that has USB ports on the front. Is it worth the extra money? Anybody have a Lian-Li with the USB ports in the front?

I'm trying to decide if it's a good idea to go with front USB ports. It looks like it would be handy, but I'm not sure if it's worth it or if there would be some potential drawback to this case.

Also.. I'm a first time builder and I was wondering if you guys thought it was stupid for me to go with a good case like the Lian-Li? I figure that I can have it for a couple of upgrades, so it might be worth it if I'm going to keep it for a while?

TIA,

Sal

My vote is for the Lian P60 also. I have it and absolutely love it. Very light and
EASY to work with. The slide out motherboard tray and thumb screws are great.

This is the second system I've built and the Lian makes it extra easy. Much nicer
than my Enlight. I didn't need the front USB ports so I went with the standard case.
Since it is P4 ready I know I should be able to keep it for an upgrade or two at least.
It keeps my Athlon 1.2 oc to 1.33 extra cool and happy.
