Old computer case for new build.
Hey guys.
I'm in the middle of building my new comp - part where You order parts to be precise xD and my friend found an old computer in his garrage. It's Athlon 2GHz with (I think) 256md sd ram - old old computer xD but... everything is sitting in Antec SX1040 SOHO or SX1030 or SX1035 case... http://www.shopping.com/xPO-Antec-Pe...HO-File-Server looks like that one. I would like to ask You guys if this case is still any good? It's pretty big and heavy:/ but it has - from what I heard - room for a lot of fans. My friend lives around 400miles away from me so I didn't have the opportunity to see the case with my own eyes... but I hope You guys can help me  best regards . A. |

I have one of those in the pic and yes, there is tons of room in it. Not sure why you'd need 'lots of fans." Even stuffed full, a full tower cools better than a mid or mini tower. On mine there is two rear exhaust (not counting the PS) and I never used front fans with it so I don't know off hand if there is room for one or two.

For only $20? I'll take it if you don't want it!! LOL
-- That's a pretty good deal. If I remember right (it's been a while) mine cost me over a $100 new.

I have an older tower like that/silver/ side window and the door is broken. It has all the room you could want. I'd guess the weight at about 10 lbs. empty.
