What Case Should I Get

[BenderX]

At the moment im buying the parts to make my new syestem and I don't know what computer case to get. I checked out xoxide and still can't pick one out. My syestem will be packing AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 2.2 GHz, 512KB L2 Cache 64-bit Socket 939 Processor, MSI "K8T NEO2-FIR" VIA K8T800 Pro Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket 939 CPU, CORSAIR XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series, (Twin Pack) 184 Pin 2GB(1GBx2), XFX nVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT Video Card, 256MB GDDR3, 256-Bit, TV-Out/DVI, 8X AGP. I do plan on overclocking so what would be the best case to keep these components cool.

I like this 1. 2 120mm fans will keep anything real cool. Just so you know, you can also get this a lot cheaper other places. http://www.newegg.com/app/view...p;CMP=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r

Lanboy is real pretty case,

If you can keep it real clean... it can actually brighten up your room.

I just love the huge fan on the front and as JMoore said, it's more than enough to cool that cute little case down.

that gotta be the ugliest case ive seen in a long time. i do like the sonata tho. wouldnt buy it but looks good. best case for cooling would be a vapochill extreme edition doesnt look good either tho but better than that one.

I just got this case from Fry's. It is very nice and the paint job is quite incredible. Also, it is extremely quiet and comes with a quality PSU to boot.

Ofcourse, it had a $30 dollar rebate at the time, so shop around 1st

i suppose you think the thermalake xasers look nice? i think the lanboy looks great, but the xasers are butt ugly.

another vote for the sonata.

take a look at the SLK3700amb if you like a front door or the LX-6A19 (D8000) if you prefer not to cover your drives. the front intake on these are less restrictive than the sonatas.

Just purchased a Tsunami case and so far have been very happy. I wasn't in to freaky looking cases, so this appealed to me.

teh tsunami is a clean case, I like that one as well...

no actually i think all thermaltakes are very ugly wih the exception of the shark series which isnt veryugly but still ugly. of all cases the v1100 looks best to me. no fancy crao timeless design very easy on my eyes.

Lian Li V2000

I have two suggestions:

1) This case is very clean looking and is very quite. It is made by Antec and comes with a quality 350-watt PSU SLK3700-BQE

2) This case is also very clean and has a mor robust cooling solution. Again, it is made by Antec and comes with a 400-watt PSU SX1040BII

XClio Full Tower or Mid_tower! Comes with lots stuff and good looking!

omg! can't we all stop mentioning TT already? :laugh:

Ive been digging for a good case for my new system for a long time and so far ive kidn of narrowed it down to either the Tsunami, Silverston Temjin 6 tj06, or my favorite the Lian Li V-1000B but the Lian Li is a tad to expensive for me so i will probably go with the Silverstone its a very simple yet elegant design on the outside and its very functional inside.

For me a case cant have cheap funky bezels like the older TTs have and others. Also the inside needs to be as much of a revolution as the outside if not more. And finnally room for alot of modding is always a good thing.

i just ordered that one today. looks impressive. very basic, down to earth case.

I have an Antec Lanboy. I love the case and the quality.
I can't get beside the Super Lanboy because I think the grille in front looks like hell.
A buddy of mine built a Prescott system in the Lanboy but I haven't seen it first hand.
I've wondered if it looks better close up than in pics.
I think the Sonata would be a good choice, but I like a window. If not for that, I'd go with the soho or sonata.
All things considered, I'd find another Lanboy if I was building new today.
