The Ultra Aluminus

[Mana]

I'm gearing up to build myself a new computer, and am seriously considering buying the Ultra Aluminus, from here http://www.tigerdirect.ca/appl...pNo=1215768&CatId=1510. I've checked out some reviews, and it seems great; but at $50 it almost seems too good to be true.

I know that the one I linked doesn't come with any fans and powersupply; I would be buying them seperately.

Not a bad case based on the ancient Chenming/Chieftech/Antec dragon case design. at least it has a 120mm fan mount on the back and a few other updated features.

This case is much better and a heack of a deal. Great cooling options, beautiful, and 49.99 after rebate! I love this case!

I've seen these cases in-person, and I hate to burst your bubble, but they didn't do anything for me... and I don't have anything against Ultra... I run a 600W Ultra PSU and love it!

Personally, in that genre, if I was going to buy a cheap case I'd get a Enermax Uber Chakra.

These things are an up-to-date design and very impressive looking in real life! Can't beat 'em for the price IMHO!

Thanks for the recommendation VinDSL, it looks like I can get the Enermax Uber Chakra here http://www.canadacomputers.com...&pid=013413&cid=CS.220 .

Now I'm conflicted; time to look at some more reviews.

WoW! Nice price!

BTW, most pics don't do the Enermax Uber Chakra justice...

To show you its true potential, look at the pics at the bottom of this page

Ooooh, now I know what those linked fan openings reminded me of...

I think I am going to go with the Enermax, it looks decent and it also seems to have better/more updated features than the Aluminus. Now my next question is, is it worth it to spend the extra money to get the 5001 model, or should I stick with the 5000? I am also not entirely sure of the difference between the two...
