What's a good brand for case??

[Cooky]

I'm building a new system and have no clue which case I should buy w/ all the different brands. I've heard Antec is good but their products are always expensive. Is there any other considerably decent brand??

Cooky, if you're looking for a quality non-alunimum case Antec & Evercase are safe bets. What price range are you looking at, it would help us to suggest a brand that would meet your needs.

Something not to exceed $100. I got my current Aopen case for $40 and I've been very satisfied w/ it, except the power supply is getting louder and louder.

IMO, In-Win cases are cheap, good quality cases with decent airflow.

Just replace the fan in your power supply then,or buy a new quiet power supply.

If your only reason for upgrading is a noisy power supply then you can try those options.

Antec SX-1040 Clone

From newegg, $65 (beige) or $70 (black) with $18 shipping, and a 420W PSU.

I ordered one the other day , waiting for it to come.

The case is for a new system i'm building; I actually have replaced the power supply 'cause the fan was mounted onto the old power that came w/ the case so I had no way of changing it.

I'd go with that one... that Actaeon suggested

The AOpen H600A at Directron should be a good choice at 59 plus shipping.
