I am really having a hard time picking out a good case, which one of these cases is better? the Enermax CS-A1 QX-06 ATX Mid Tower Case w/ 300W PS or the Antec SX1040 Full-Tower Case, 400W? the link to the Enermax
HERE the link to the ANTEC HERE please help me!
 
they are totally different cases, one costs close to twice as much as the other. if you are looking for sheer quality get the Antec, but if you want a good deal get the enermax. The enermax is like 3/4 the size of the Antec.
 
ok I see that you guys like the Antec the only thing I dont like about it is that its huge and I dont really like the way it looks. instead I saw a sweet case a directron.com you can see it HERE do you guys think that case is any good? also if I do get it I will be getting it with a Enermax 450w power supply.
 
I think if you look at that case closely you will notice how small and restrictive the exhaust fan hole is on that case. The Antec is a much better case hands down. Wether you get the 830 or the 1030 its just a better case period. As for a 450 watt power supply that is overkill.
 
Yeah 450W is way too much power; unless you hve a bunch of drives and other devices

antec rul3z

Edit: 300 Watts should be enough for you
Edit 2: ROFLMAO Antect ?!!?
 


<< how about the ANTECT 1040? and guys do you like how it looks? >>



Yes it`s great ,but it`s how you think it looks that`s important,cooling wise it`s excellent.
 
Antecs PS are really good. They're quiet and everything!!

oh and BTW:

<< Do you think Antec will release a 'P4 Ready' 1030 or 1040? >>



The Antec SX1040 is P4 ready,read the specs it states that.

🙂
 
The Antec is big its not a full tower, kinda bigger then a mid tower but smaller then the full tower. Just get one trust us you will love it.
 
like 20 people already told you the antec is the better case. i have the antec 1030b and i love the case, i also suggest you get it.
 
PS

Could someone in the US do me a favour and tell me the cheapest shipping method i could use to have a case sent to New Zealand (that will get it there in one piece).


Airfreight is well over $100US, which means that the Enermax would cost me $420 NZ and the Antec $620, (for which i could buy 2 x 20 Gig IBM hard drives here)

thanks
