I was thinking of getting a case under $90 for my computer because I'm dissatisfied with my Enlight 7237. Can get a couple of suggestions for good cases. If it comes in cool looking color that would be nice too.

Hi,

I am in the same boat. One of the screws for my 7237 stripped and I don't like having to do so much to get to the inside of the case.

Here's a case that I might be getting. It's a bit shorter and wider than the 7237.

Antec SX635

Here's the best price I've found for it, $80 plus shipping.

I hate to say this but 90 does seem high untill you ask yourself.
Just how long will I have this case?
I had the Enlight for 6 years and was happy untill I finally decided I need a new case.
The Enlight went from an K6 200 to an Athlon 850 about 6 different configurations.

I say this in hope you will consider my suggestions.
This is only an opinion and I will give you 2 cents. :)
Chieftec 1030 White
Chieftec Black

The best thing about this case is ROOM.
Cooling is top notch as there are 4 places for fans of 80mm and 1 of these is inside the Hard drive bay(instant HD cooler for up to 3 drives.)
Also the side is so easy to remove you will wonder why this is not standard practice.
The fans snap is so easy you will wonder why they ever used screws.
The Drive raill system is also very nice as are the internal bays.



The price however is 102.00 shipped.
Did I mention this case is heavy?

Just a great review :)

i got the antec sx1030b knockoff from newegg for right around $100

it uses the same OEM supplier as antec, chieftec, and all the others, but has a 350w Enermax for PS.

i really like it, tho in retrospect the paint job is a little funky, don't get me wrong it looks great, its just a little rough compared to the smoother finish of the antec. if i had to do it over again i'd prob spend the extra 15 bux and get the antec. but the enermax ps is great, i really love is so anyways....

spend a little extra on the case, you wont regret it.

My vote is for the Antec/Chieftec variety SX series cases. I have 2 of them and used the SX830 for my pop's computer. He loves it too.
