case purchase ?
I'm building a new 'puter. I 've been looking for cases and read alot here . Should have lots of air flow, power, etc.
I see that best buy has one for $99. It is a Antec Tower. ATX 350 watts, two case fans + 3 optional, 8 drive bays. the box said model 80841 and is also called a sx835 workstation performance series. Any opinions on this?
I mean there are so many cases it's hard to decide. I want to save some money but ?....

Look at the chieftec cases at newegg.com thats who Antec uses anyway if Im not mistaken anyway I purchased a midi-tower for about 60 bucks included see thru side panel etc. Its was a special but I bet you can find a cheaper case there or at least at the same price but better quality.

I have the white case. Here some power supplies also.

So for about a $100 dollars you can have the best of both worlds.

My next case is going to be a Lian-Li full tower but they are pretty pricey.

Thanks,
It's still tuff. I just looked at blinkys post and what he had there had no power.
Seems like the case is like a mobo, just you preference of the really good ones.
If I wait and keep looking the next best will be out and I'll have to start all over and still have nothing.

LOL I know what you mean, I like to watch a full season at a time too. Yep, last week was the season cliff hanger.
