Just trying to decide on a case.
I'm looking for a nice case that keeps things cool and doesn't run too loud. My case right now runs too hot, and too noisy. It was a bargan-ish rosewill I bought for my lesser PC.
My build right now is: EVGA 590SLI mobo AMD Windsor 5200+ X2 at 2.6Ghz (downclocked to 2.2, just to help kill the heat) WD 160gig HD (single platter design) Nvidia 6800 graphics card. Rosewill 450psu. As you can see, not a very crazy build. I would like to have a case that can manage better components in the future... like a 8800 card, or a better power supply. Thanks for any input, I'm also on a bit of a budget... so around 100 dollars or less would be great. Dan |

This is the case that I am using for my new build....it's cheap decent sized and keeps everthing nice and cool with it's intake/exhaust fan system. Plus the front is mesh so it lets plenty of air in for good flow. |

Why not replace your case and power supply at the same time with the Antec Sonata III - a quiet classy-looking case with good cooling, and a quality Seasonic-made PSU.
