Hello all,
I've been looking for a new case, and keep running into cases that are generally well-regarded but have at least a few reviewers that throw a serious complaint about how hard it is to work in the case, how shoddy the build quality is, etc, ad nauseum.
Any thoughts for cases that people have used that they've really liked to work in? I'm not one to care for an orange case or one that has led's on every corner. I'm more looking for a nice-looking, solidly built, quality case that is easy to get into and work with, where the metal doesn't have burrs, etc...
Some thoughts on specs:
I like the idea of 120mm fans, as opposed to 80mm and the big turbine intake fans.
Quiet case. I may pad the inside of the case (thoughts?)
Think 3-4 HD's, 7200-ish.
Probably not SLI. I may do it in the future, though.
PS is not necessary. I have one, and when I get a new system that outstrips the PS that I have, I'll get one that it doesn't.
A door for the 5.25" drives would be nice, esp for a black case.
One complaint that I have heard is that some reputable manufacturers have started getting sloppy with quality, etc. Who do I look for, who do I look out for? (I know I'm risking a religious war here...)
Thanks,
witg
