I would like to know if anyone can give me some reviews or know of which Full Tower Case I could buy? Money is not an object but I dont want it being silly like a frickin 2 tonne behemoth with wheels. I simply want it for my computer I am going to build a overclocked AMD setup running a GF 2 ultra and the such with 4 HD's in it. Basically I want a lot of space for expansion and it well vetillated. But i dont want holes all over it like swiss cheese it has to have calculated airflow so it flows and cools efficiently.

F*** it. Just gimme the best I dont care what it is I want the best goddamn it.

Try an Antec SX1030 File Server Case. That's what I'm running and I love it!

Here are some pics of my case. I have the SX1030-B (black version).


Very nice case :).

I would say the antec SX1030 or 1040 but it only holds 2 HDs. Although I would think you could put 2 HDs in the floppy drive spots.

I like the InWin Q500N better than the Antec 10x0...that guy has it's drive bays all covered, and the 8x0 has too few drive bays for such a big tower.

Howerver, the Antec SX1240 looks damn sweet. I'd be all over one of those if I didn't have my Q500N already.

In the near future, I'll be putting up my fairly new/slightly used full tower on the FS/T board for relatively cheap. It's an Apex "Super Case" Full Tower (got good reviews from Ars Technica). Here's a link to Apex's web page so you can check out the case for yourself. Apex "Super Case" Full Tower Let me know if you'd be interested at all...

PS - the Ars Technica link will take you to the review of the case

I own both the Inwin Q500n and the Antec SX1030B. I prefer the layout and design of the Antec hands down.

SX830 (without the damn door, I personally have the 1030, and have the door off) is $93 shipped from Egghead.com.

Outpost has the sx1030 for 99.95 (add tax, and you get free shipping).

Riverbound...I think you may be incorrect...I have an Antec SX1030B...it has space for 6 hard drives, 4 5.25, and 2 3.5.

I have the Inwin Q500n also and couldn't be happier with it, but I've also heard a lot of good things about the Antec SX1030B. Personally, I don't like the look of the Antec and the door in front of the drive bays, but that's just my opinion.
