Advice any good computer TOWERS plan on building a pc!!!

[compguy]

Hey all anybody know a really good see through tower. Beacuse I'am going to built a computer my self. If anybody know's any good Names or Brands please post any comments..... :knock: :knock:

Need a budget. I bought an X-blade and am pretty happy with it except for a few things.
But with cases, it's generally true that the cheaper it is, the worse it is. Ya it may look good but you can bet the metal is thin and it uses a lot of plastic. You may find sharp metal edges inside and a lack of room in certain areas.
So it depends on your budget. And how much you want to eventually cram in the case.
Check this out:
http://www.xoxide.com/allcases.html

Browse all their cases and right there you'll see the a huge range of cheap to expensive. Expensive not just being see-through windows, but high quality, low-noise, heavy gauge steel, lot's of fans, better power supplies, better paint job, etc...

That should give you a start. I'd spend over $50 at least. A sub-$50 case you may be asking for it. Not that it won't work, but you may have to fight with it.

good luck

From a strictly personal perspective (so, slightly biased), I use the Antec Super Lanboy. Aluminim, so it's light but constructed well. It also uses 120mm case fans (front one is lit) and I love the drive bay layout (facing the window so easy to remove and replace. Quiet and a nice, clean look.

I enjoyed working with the Antec NewPower ATX 480W. Now, this was my first time building a rig, so I've not anything to compare it to, but I liked that it came with a big selection of cables (molex, sata, pcix, fan, etc.) which are optional -- you only use the ones you need.

Oh... and I went with the Antec P-160WF... light-weight aluminum, spacious, side window panel, pretty blue lights, and moderately priced at $130. But that Lian that you got is pretty wicked.

 

[Tedster]

Most motherboards come with some cables.... I bought a similar case with all the whoop-de-doos new on ebay for about $60. It even came with a 600w PS.

Think for my next build I will go a little plainer.

Maybe a plain jane case that I can sand and paint myself.

If money were no object to me, I'd get like a silent setup from Lian li.

Like this case:
http://www.xoxide.com/pc73sl.html

and this PS:
http://www.xoxide.com/tt-silent-purepower-680w-psu.html

Then from that point it would be a modders dream on that case. Add a window if you like, lots of lights and maybe a handle on the top. Some sensors and fan controllers on the front. Maybe add a cup holder:

And the handle:

The possibilites are endless!

have fun

 

[compguy]

Yeah

Just so every one knows Iam going to get the intel pentium extreme.
