Exclamation Case with 500W+ and one 120mm and 80mm fan!

Write down your suggestions for a case with 500W+ and one 120mm and 80mm fan! It must also have a window.

Would be better to find a case you like without a PSU and buy a good one seperately. If you look at cases on www.newegg.com , they have eleventymillion of them. Recommended cases are Antec,Aspire,Thermaltake,Lian Li/price does make a differnce in the quality of the case.

Why are you limiting yourself to this? If your computer is getting close to drawing 500 watts, then you probably need more ventilation than one 120mm and one 80mm fan.

Also, I wouldn't want a case with an 80mm fan. Get all 120mm fans if you can. They move the same amount of air, or more, with less noise.

Its going to be very hard to find a case with a quality 500W unit, which is important when building a system.

It's always hard to suggest cases to people, what I may like - you could think is ugly. With that said, www.xoxide.com has just about every case out there - I suggest browsing through this site to find a case you want, then purchase a PSU seperately.
