Inwin q500n and this generic 6bay full tower that I got brand new with a 235watt PS for $60 + tax (canadian dollars 🙂)
 


<< Antec SX1030B all the way baby, hehe its 2 degrees cooler then ambient room >>



LOL 🙂 Dude, your thermistor must be messed up because what you just said is impossible. Your ambient case temp cannot be colder than your ambient room temp unless you have some kind of refrigeration in there. If it's just fans, it is impossible! At best it could be exactly room temperature, but that is highly unlikely.


lol..
 
Main system = Fong Kai 603
Server = Some off brand server cube case I bought at a police auction.
Other 3 Workstations = 2 Inwin S500, Enlight(so old I can't find a number or a pic of it on their site).
 
Main system - Antec KS188
2nd system - Enlight 7237
Parents PC - Aopen Midtower forgot the model number though
 
Antec KS-180.

Got it back when Antec's hot case was the KS-188. I got the KS-180 over the 188 because I thought it looked kind of ugly and the KS-180 had thicker metal.
 
I use the Inwin Q500n for my Intel based system, and the Inwin S500 for my AMD system.
 
I'll second Kami, you can't get a case temp under room temp with conventiona fan cooling. First off, its room temp air going into the case, and secondly, everything in a computer creates heat, be it a little mb resister, every little thing adds up.

It is possible to get very close to room temp, though. 😉

I'm using an Enlight 7273/Enermax330W. Probably upgrade when i'm done butcher My Case 😉.

Like I said before, he's probably liquid cooled. Or maybe he has a small air conditioning unit and is running a duct from it to his case, that works pretty well 🙂
 
My main box is just a generic full tower (A777 + 300w ps). My backup is just a generic Antec full tower. Not their high end model, but the one from their value line. I've had the Antec for almost two years now. Really well built.
 
2inwin q500n's and a new antec sx1030 both have plus and minuses but the 1030 is my main comp now. Although all externals are full. But can add 2 more had's for raid 0 + 1 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa
 
Wow!

I was planning on getting the Enlight 7237 but most seem to like the Antec brand. In fact, I probably would have ordered the Enlight, but Onvia was out of stock until about January.

The Antec users sounded very enthusiastic, but were they avid overclocker? I'm not.

I really don't throw much hardware into a pc and overclocking isn't my concern, but overheating probably should be anyway. Gonna use a Duron 800, maybe a retail, or maybe an OEM with a fop32-1. Later when I upgrade to a Palomino, I can recycle the fop32.

What say yee! Antec she is???

 
Aopen HX45A with an Enermax 350W power supply. Added an 80mm Sunon in front, and if I have the time, will add one in the back. (gotta make a hole...)
 
Just got a hydraulic case from directron.com, frigging awesome, and tons of room. And to top it all off I don't have the same case as 70% or so of anandtech with the sx830
