What do you think of this 400watt Case? (seems good for the price)

This case seems really good for the price, but my question is, how do I know if it has built in case fans or not? And if not, how would I know how many to purchase?

Is this case good for cooling?

There are also a few other good cases at this website, so if you think you spot a better one than this one, please point it out:

Hello??? Do you know that I posted this last night expecting to find some replies this morning? What takes so long for someone to respond?
 
Chances are that if it had case fans it would say so.

For instance the 34.99 case called the Jaya says it comes with a case fan.

By searching Google I found out the Jaya is made by Future Power, a generic case manufacturer. I have a Future Power case similar to the Jaya that works fine. I'd say its somewhat better than a typical generic case.

Good points about my Future Power case - good airflow and cooling, quiet case fan,small size for the number of drive bays,front usb ports buitl-in,pretty good 400w power supply,reasonably well made except for..

Bad points-drive cage is not very precisely made, but it can be made to work, case sides are thin so I wouldn't sit on it, or stand on it, or use it as a jack stand. (but this makes it lighter and easier to carry. )


Myself I don't see any advantage the case you linked to has over the Jaya.

If I were buying a case today I would get an Antec SX635, but I think the Future Power case and power supplies(at least the 400w one that has P4 connectors, the older one is not as good IMHO) aren't bad, provided you get them from a very reliable dealer that you trust and will take it back if you don't like it.


Here is a Link to the Antec SX635 at CompUSA. I'm sure it's available elsewhere too but I knew they had a picture of it there.
 
Thanx for the link Dead Parrot Sketch...but that case isn't a 400 watt :{ It's only 350. I currently have a 340 watt on my system, and was hoping my next case for my second computer to be at least 400watt. Do you know of one good 400 watt ATX case out there that is under $100.00? thanx 🙂
 
even though it states 400 watts is it really a good powersupply. that remains the question as not all 400's are good. i have had my fair share of them in the past. as far as cases go......antecs have good case flow.........and there is addtronics which i have always liked.


just my thoughts

I'd rather have the Antec 350w rather than a generic 400w as I said before.

But you should get what you want.
