What's the best case for me?

[Luckyboy1]

Howie, to deny that you have no life at all and have a long history of pathetically following my posts to try and flame every last time is not a very good lie at all.


Howie, I could type it all out, but beyond telling you the obvious term "contant duty" well, if your pea sized brain can't grasp that without embellishment, well, blame your parantage and not me!

OP i almost forgot to mention the Antec NSK6500(special order atm).Imho it is comparable to the more expensive Antec P150.

To deny something, I would have to be accused of it first, right? Perhaps you should re-read your posts to see if there was anything your feeble-minded brain overlooked. But to entertain you, I don't follow your posts. I entered this thread to see if I could help the OP, and lo and behold, I came across your typical tripe and I had to say something lest the OP be confused. I must admit, that's the usual cause of my confronting someone (the part about the OP potentially getting confused).

Yes, obfuscation does seem to be your main defense. What does "constant duty" have to do with hold-up time?

Not only do you insist on calling me Howie (and you know that doing so angers me), you now bring my parentage into this. You know, I used to have a little respect for you because you [claimed to have] served in the military, but now I see that you're still an overgrown child. Why don't you throw your tantrums elsewhere and leave this place for people who need help and people who can provide it?

You just keep digging yourself in deeper there Lucky. Those are standard ChannelWell specifications and are plenty good for normal use. 20mS is plenty long enough for any halfway decent UPS to kick in - unless you bought a Belkin, then you'll need a UPS for your UPS... . I'll give you a challenge of finding any other with a significantly higher holdup time.

If I go with the fortron psu, I can go with any of those cases. I like to go through the act of elimination. Much easier to look at stuff that way. Oh and thanks for all the replies. Its really helpful.

The XClio will also work with any standard ATX case - 6 o' one, dz./2 o' the other...

It looks like the NSK6500 may be a good alternative to the Antec SLK3000B. I like the style of the NSK6500 better and no front door. It has room for 2 - 92 mm front fans versus 1 - 120 mm front fan on the SLK3000B, more noise from the 2 - 92 mm fans? What's the specs on the 430W Antec PSU that comes with the NSK6500? Would a Fortron or XClio PSU be a better choice?

Not much info on the PSU on Antec's website:
NSK 6500 comes with a 430Watt universal input, active PFC, single 80mm fan
cooled power supply compatible with the ATX12V version 2.01 specification and
above. This includes dual 12V output rails that delivers safer and more reliable
output to the system?s components, as well as higher energy efficiency, which
reduces power consumption by up to 25% saving you money on your electricity
bill. In addition we?ve included a variety of industrial-grade protective circuitry:
OPP (over power protection), OVP (over voltage protection), UVP (under voltage
protection), and SCP (short circuit protection).

Since he asked for the best case possible, I gave him my opinion, which is as good as any. I believe this is an open forum and if he wanted opinions, I guess any would be welcome. He can take it or leave it, he has the right of choice. I can put in my 2 cents because its my opinion like 90%of the others out there.

The Lian-Li provides good cooling and that is what he wants first.

Is this how you advise all the other people who come to you as a computer consultant?

Why Howard, it seems that you didn't read his thread like I did. I gave an opinion and hoped that it had enough latitude for choice. You can't pocket-hole anyone just because you been here longer than many other ATers. I still advise the best way I can. Its what others decide to do with it. We can't agree with you 100% of the time. Neither am I perfect. Let bladefd make up his own mind, instead of turning this into a flaming war.

You're right; I noticed that he had a $100 budget.

You can't pocket-hole anyone just because you been here longer than many other ATers.

I try not to let that affect my attitude in any way; I took a very long break in OT and only recently came back to GH and C&C.

I don't know the exact model of the PSU included but i'm thinking it's something similar to the HE series.Also the 2 92mm fans cover a bigger area than a single 120mm, kinda like the P150 without the noise dampening materials.

I have read all luckboy posts on page 2 and all I have to say is wtf man are you drunk or high, on meds? cause I don't understand ******.

MadDude, I need your e-mail address so I can get the pager for your connection, because when it comes to power supplies, I really, really should be smoking your brand man! Look at these absolute half truth, dishonest and garbage specs...

Hold-up Time >20ms at full load, nominal line

Ok, if I run my PC longer than 20 microseconds, which I fully anticipate that scenario happening quite often, then what are the specs? How far degraded are they?

Hold-up time refers to how long the supply can continue supplying voltages in spec when there is no input current. It has nothing to do with whatever else you are talking about.

The rest is just pretty nonsensical.

i picked up a super lan boy at compusa for 40 bucks (after MIR). this might not be possible because it's 80 bucks up front, with a $40 MIR and no power supply, but i thought i'd mention it. i'm really happy with mine, cools nicely. it's a little cramped but it's also light (i go to mulitple lans a year, got tired of lugging around a steel case).

 

[acegazda]

from what i can see (im not exactly an expert) the antec p150 is the best case/psu combo.
The only problem is that is comes with a neohe 430 which is supposed to be really problematic according to
a lot reviews on newegg. Lian-li keeps is cool and theyre all really high quality. Antec smartpower is a good choice for a
cheaper (in price, not in quality) psu and enermax is very reliable
