IEatHardDrives Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Im looking for a case for my system I cant find one I like I dont need a case with 50 LED's somthing black with a 450W PSU im looking at 2 cases the ASPIRE X-Navigator and the RAIDMAX Astro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Siddy Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 that x-navigator looks pretty good. Only downside i think with it is that it only has one front usb port. It looks very sleek and I think I might use it on my next rig now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IEatHardDrives Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 It has enough fans 5 80 mm fans and 1 120 mm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Siddy Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 lol yes it does Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTrueDarkOne Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 well dont look at the PSU that comes with the case if your into gaming...They are over rated and arnt as good as advertised Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CataclysmCow Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 (edited) If you don't mind paying a little extra I strongly reccomend Lian-Li cases. They usually run $300 and up, but you can find previous years models for around $100 (new).They are the best made tower cases in the world with maybe the exception of one of Zalman's $450 cases. They're for for someone who appreciates workmanship, quality parts, functionality and clean looks. People who are fans of cases that look like they came out of a cheap sci-fi flick need not apply.Don't let the online pics fool you. These cases are stunning in real life. Pics just don't do them justice. Try and find a friend or a local shop that carries them before you buy so you can get an idea of what to expect.

Bubba Bob Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 High quality stainless power buttonFor those times when plastic just wont do? THose cases look like something that should be featured in the Sharper Image catalog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IEatHardDrives Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Lian-Li cases are very nice but $100 just for the case is alittle over my budget. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I am kind of cheap myself, so that much for a case, is a lot. The only reason I could rationalize it would be a case would last a long time(years) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CataclysmCow Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Lian-Li cases are very nice but $100 just for the case is alittle over my budget.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>The first case you linked is $90. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IEatHardDrives Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 That case had a PSU with it I cant spend $100 on the case then another $50 on a PSU. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DOSError Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 (edited) I suggest the Antec "sonata" with piano black finish. It's nice, EXTREMELY quiet, comes with a 380W TruePower PSU (has spot-on power rails...I have 5 drives and a 9800pro on this PSU and it does just fine) it has removable drive trays and it's nice and roomy. Just do a newegg.com search for "Antec Sonata" and you should find it.I think it has gone up in price recently though. Edited September 8, 2005 by DOSError Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My case looked alright in its picture but turned out to be VERY nice looking in real life. Edited September 8, 2005 by Sir_Siddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IEatHardDrives Posted September 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 What do you guys think about rosewell PSU's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubba Bob Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Follow the Xiode link a scroll down to the bottom and look at the Cheif Tech cases that look like this.IMO those are some of the BEST cases on the market, in your budget.However, that site wants way too much money for them. Shop around and find one you like. NewEgg.com has the same cases that have been relabeled for Antec, that come with decent antec PSUs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
