Wondering if this is good case

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...ion=11-129-122

This will be the first computer that I will be building myself and I want everything to be as easy as possible.

Thank you.

Looks good to me. Good PSU enough drive bays alot of room inside. The only thing I do not like is the door on the front that hides the drive bays I personally dont like it.

That is an excellent case. Also, with a 120mm fan in the back, instead of an 80mm, you get better exhaust and a quieter case. The Antec power supply in the case is excellent quality, also.

I just got that same case yesterday for my first build. The rest of my parts come today, but so far it looks like a good case. Its a little bigger than I thought it would be but that'll give me lots of room.

I think having a bigger case for a first build is a good idea because it gives you more room to work. And if for some reason you have to take everything out, your not going to be busting your knuckles on the side of the case, trying to get the the psu leads out of the drives. man that hurts
