Want a new case (from Newegg), which one?

[hop1hop2]

I have a $100 price limit (not including s/h or taxes) for a new case.

I have narrowed it down to these three: the Antec Lan Boy, theThermaltake XaserV V8000A, and the Thermaltake Soprano VB1430SWS.

Should I go for mobility and quiet (Lan Boy), a cooler but louder case (XaserV), or a mix of both (Soprano)?

antec sonata!

antec lan boy of that list.

Lan Boy was nice but it has a few minor flaws.

The Lian-Li PC-7 Plus is about 100 dollars, and is a pretty nice case. Sonatas are good too.

Soprano because it cools well and it's actually pretty quiet. Lanboy has really weak fans and it's tiny and hard to work in. And the Xaser will blow your ears off. I wouldn't really bother with that.

And for some reason the last link (Soprano) takes me to Microsoft.com on Firefox. Wtf?
Edit: Oh your link is like https://http:www.newegg.com/asdfsafasdf but why the hell did it take me to Microsoft.com ?

Kingwin 424 series but you'll have to go to ZipZoomFly for the best selection and price.

I would recommend against that. It's loud and small...hard to work with. It does keep your stuff cool though.

Antec CS600 is a great, roomy case which I recently bought at CompUSA for $40 (after MIR). It's the same build and design as their more expensive SOHO options (it just doesn't come with case fans); I highly recommend it. Take the money saved and buy a kick ass power supply to go along with it :thumbsup:

Save another 20 bucks or so and get the Antec P180.

Dont get the Tt cases!

I think he's right, anything around a hundred and below, you're in for something that isn't as too hot.

I got lucky and found my case at www.monarchcomputer.com for 40 bucks with a cheap power supply, but I liked the design of the case, little sleezy, but for my needs, nicely taken.
