Good Computer Case

[doubledragon5]

Need a good quality pc case,with good cable management capabilities. I do not need a psu as I just purchased a Antec 650 Earth watts to replace my other one damaged from a water spill.. Would like to spend no more than a $100. It also needs good air flow and big enough to handle my XFX 9800 TGX+ video card.. I would prefer one were the hd bays are side ways as it wold be easier for me to install them thanks...

Well, I didn't spill water in it but my Sonata III now has a 650 watt psu (The original 500 watt now has a deserving home powering a family internet computer.) .

If I were going to do a build now I'd use this with my current 650 Earth watt : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129057

Take a look at the cases in my sig. I was pleased with both of them. The NZXT Alpha has the sideways HDD bays.

I got the RAIDMAX Scorpio from newegg and the NZXT Alpha from provantage.com

[edit]: the NZXT Alpha is out of stock on provantage, but in stock on newegg.

Those are probably the best ones I came across with side windows that weren't exceedingly ugly. If you don't want a window, you'll have considerably more choices. Antec as a number of them that you might be satisfied with.

Thanks pam for the suggestion.. The only thing I have against it is the size, and air flow. I had a Sonata II originally for this build, but the temps were a bit to high.. When I switched to the Antec it brought my temps down quit a bit.. I looking at other including the one flocreflow suggested, so hopefully I will have on picked out soon. Thanks again..

best bang for the buck, very solid construction

That's not a bad one

Usually I avoid coolermaster because of their dust collecting bug grills, but it looks like that one doesn't have that shining feature

Thanks a lot, I just ordered another case I do not need but that Alpha looks real nice. I have a case fetish or something. I love the front panels on the side, perfect for my main setup. Those Foxconns are nice that GlC recommended.

The broadway cases are starting to rear their ugly head these days (power supply's). I used those back in the day and didn't know any better but I have had a 3 calls recently.
