going to be getting a case for my athlon 64 system im buiding..my criteria for a case is...

-Black
-Sturdy
-Good Cooling
-Roomy
-Easy to Install a Motherboard..



So far I really like the CoolerMaster Praetorian, I will not be doing any kind of overclocking also..would like to spend somewhere in the 100-150 range w/ PSU
 
Another vote for Kingwin 424 series at newegg or the Beantech from svcompucycle.com (really the same cases).
. If you want to spend a little less $$$, then the Antec SLK3700AMB or the Compucase 6A19 (twins under the skin). See the info on coolcases.com.
. Unless you want glitz rather than performance, you need look no farther than the above.
.bh.
 
Another vote for the Compucase 6A19. I use it, and I love it alot; 120mm intake and exhaust, clean apperanace, and can be modded easily if need be.
 
I have the Antec SLK3700AMB. it has worked well for me so far; has alot of room for expandability. the only possible problem is it has only 2 120mm fan mounts stock. it wouldnt be hard to mount some on the side panel or roof of the case if you wanted to mod the case a bit though.
 
gonna go with the Praetorian guys, it just looks really clean, and it fits everything I am looking for, thanks for the suggestions though
 
actually Im starting to like the kingwin, and it saves me a bit of money also, but how sturdy is that little door in the front for the usb/firewire? and also, how is the cooling compred to the praetorian?
 
Kingwin im tellin ya. Lian Li quality... tons of thumbscrews, all aluminum... the window can be removed and mounted on the inside to get rid of that bezel. I have no problems at all with the usb/firewire door, I like it!. Remove the front panel and u can adjust the speed of the 2 front fans:Q
 
I just bought a black KINGWIN KT-424 with the window and I really like it. I have everything black with blue lights and the only thing the case is missing is lit power and reset buttons. I may mod the power and HDD lights so they are blue but only if it's not too much trouble. I did see the Praetorian after I bought the Kingwin but I don't think it's worth the $40 premium, it is nice though. I bought a couple blue LED Thermaltake smart fans that work great; low cooling with minimal noise or awesome cooling with louder but not unbearable(Vantec Tornado!)noise.
