Yet another case thread...opinions?

I want to take advantage of the AMD price cuts and I'm about buy an X2 (probably 3800+ or maybe the 4200+?) from Newegg. Since I'll also buy a HDD and I'll have to basically take everything out, I might as well look into a new case to replace my crappy one.

What I'd like:
-120mm intake and exhaust
-Side intake
-Tool-less
-Around $70

A recent topic brought the Enermax Chakra to my mind. With that 250mm fan, I could remove the one on my SI-120. However, I haven't read too much feedback regarding Enermax cases overall.

There's also the NZXT Lexa (which I could find used for less) and Apollo, which have a 120mm side intake.

Any recommendations?
 
People seem to like the Chakra, but its open front (mesh) allows whatever noise there is to come right at you.

Check the Rosewill thread here - look at the 5601/5604.

Ah, I had forgotten I saw your thread a few days ago! I really liked those cases, their price, and the desing of the rear grill since it doesn't seem so obstructive.

Sent you a couple of ?'s via PM.
 
Hey, GY! Hope everything's ok.

Thanks for the heads-up. I read the review and it seems like a good case overall considering the cost.
