You pick the case!

ebackhus · 02-07-2006, 11:42 AM

Alright, I'm getting a huge tax return and I want to buy a new case. What you see in my signature will be going in. My cap for price is about $350 for this purchase.

Lets see what you got!

That's about a hundred dollars more than my computer cost when I built it two years ago. One hell of a bargain.

**forcifer** · 02-07-2006, 03:52 PM

nice. i LOVE the aspire x navigator. make sure you dont use the psu it comes with. mine works wonderfully, but others disagree

ebackhus · 02-07-2006, 06:43 PM

I'll be using the 600w I'm using now. I was thinking of the ThermalTake Xaser III series.

**forcifer** · 02-07-2006, 07:01 PM

good. i would like someone else to get the case. i do not know anyone else, so it would be nice to compare =). it is loud, i will warn you. but it keeps my proc amazingly cool

**oldmn** · 02-07-2006, 07:49 PM

I like my Antec P180.
My only sugestion with them is to get rid of the tri-cool fans.

**forcifer** · 02-08-2006, 05:55 AM

are you planning on spending all of it? i know of a $300 case, but it isnt worth it

crazijoe · 02-08-2006, 06:02 AM

Antec P160W is my choice. Very large and roomy, temp monitors, 2 large 120mm fans, HDDs are mounted side to side so they are easy to remove.

**forcifer** · 02-08-2006, 06:19 AM

**forcifer** · 02-08-2006, 02:51 PM

have you decided yet? you have many choices =)

ebackhus · 02-08-2006, 02:59 PM

When I get home tonight I'll mull over what I've gotten from you guys and consult a few other resources. Your help is greatly appreciated. *bow*

**forcifer** · 02-09-2006, 03:14 PM

i hoped you picked mine =). have you decided yet? ill wait till 5 lol

ebackhus · 02-10-2006, 10:48 PM

Well, I settled on the Navigator. It was HELLA tough choosing between the Antecs and the Aspire cases as all of them are truly awesome. For my next PC I may get a P-160 and for the nest server build a P-180. I thank everyone for their suggestions.

**forcifer** · 02-11-2006, 10:02 AM

=). ill tell you more about it on msn. i think you picked well, and i hope it serves you well =D
