i need a new dell case. i am just finishing my first build. and i used my hp brio case. no good. HP sucks a lot of things. i would really like a dell case to put all of my stuff in. it is way more open the the hp and the dell can flow a lot more air than its hp counterpart. anybody know where i can get a 2400 or 3600 dimension case? ive looked at aftermarket cases and i just cant find one i like. there all too big and bulky.

I would say check Ebay, but I think you're going to have a difficult time finding just an empty Dell case. Maybe you could get one cheap enough and scrap or try to resell the unwanted/unused components? Don't know...

Why do you want to use a name brand computer case (like the Dell)? Aftermarket cases generally are much easier to work with, have better cooling and look better.

To me, the cases that name brand computer companies use are pretty lame and difficult to work with, not to mention most are pretty ugly.

well im not sure why i like the dell case. all other casses seem to big and not compact like i want. anybody know of any mid-size towers? that is the correct term right?

What about something like this Antec (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-129-121&depa=0)? Or this Evercase (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-127-018&depa=0)?

The Antec comes with a good quality power supply. The Evercase comes with no power supply so you'll have to pick up one separately.
