suggestions for new case

[scheck]

i'm planning to build an amd 1.2 ghz system with a msi k7t pro2a mobo and i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a mid tower case (possibly full tower also) some features that i would want would be screwless entry, 3 exposed 5.25 drive bays, removable motherboard tray, and drive rails. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

Gotta love the In-win. Check out the Q500, A500 they are both great cases.

i was thinking of the antec case but that might be too big for me, i may end up getting that however. has anyone had any experience with antec's mid tower cases?

LeaderTech and Addtronics both have cases with removable motherboard mounts, but I'm still researching those cases too, so I can't give you any first hand experience.

the Enlight 7237 has been a favorite for a while.

The Fong Kai cases are a bit smaller... have you looked into them?

Forget the idea I gave you about the in-win. I just ordered a Antec SX830 last night.

Tornado 1000 and 2000 at 3dcool.com I have one its the best case I have ever had. they do cost alot and are loud but if you overclock they rock......

Got two inwin q500n and a new antec sx1030. The in-win are long on convienence and short on looks. The Antec is long on looks and a little short on features.
The in-wins athlon approved ps has a cutoff switch antec don't.
Inwin has a slide out mb tray that lets you put the cards in outside the case. The antec doesn't have drawer.
The inwins are larger with room for 3 additional fans none included. The antec is shorter with room for 4 fans (one in the hd bays) 2 included.
Antec has rails for the 5.25 drives and the 2 3.5 cages clip out very easily. The inwin has screws for all of them and on the internal 3.5 you must remove the mb tray to install. The antec ps was rated a little higher than (the sparkle? or powerman?) in the inwin. If you don't overload the external drives on the sx1030 (4 5.25 and 2 3.5) then it is better. But I almost need the inwin. CD, CDRW, DVD, Live drive II fill the 5.25 and a zip and floppy fill the 3.5s. And to tell the truth any more than 2 (which I have) hd and the fan doesn't have room to blow in the hd cage. So its pretty well maxed out. But its the one I kept for my personal machine.

As you can see I have an SX830 and I can say it's a great case. Very well built, good power supply, and quiet!

I have the Antec SX-830 as well. It's a great case in my opinion.

I have a Antec SX830 and think it is a great case. Also have 2 InWin S500, nice case also and a little smaller.
