I usually don't frequent the Cases/Cooling forum too often, but I am in need of your expertise. I've posted in the General Hardware section about a new righ that I'm looking to build. Everything seems to bee in order, except for the case. I currently have a Chieftech Dragon mid-tower, and it works nicely, but I would like something a little better. Here is what I am looking for in a case:

-Good cooling
-Sturdy
-Easy to work with
-Somewhat inexpensive

I don't want to spend a whole lot of money on this case as most of my cash will be going in to the othr components of the PC. I was looking at Lian-Li because I've heard good things about them having good heat dissapation being aluminum. Thanks.

Aluminum doesn't help computer cooling at all; it's a myth. If you want cheap, good cooling, sturdy, go with an Antec 3000b.

Consider the Lian Li PC-7 B Plus with 120 intake and exhaust or the Antec SLK3000B.

The former can be had for about $85 the other for $50. Aluminum is much easyer to mod
and i find doors a problem waiting to happen. Aluminum or steel there is no differance in cooling when it comes to case constuction.

The CoolerMaster cases r very good, and the case fans that come with it r very quite. Just make sure if u get a Cavalier to add a fan on the duct, or the Centurion.
