case vs case...will it work with my parts?
Hey i have a question...when i got home today, i decided to browse around my parts and all and other stuff. I came upon a new case that interested me. I looked stuff up and all. So i was just wondering, is this case better than the other case i picked? Also, would this case fit all my parts in and support them you know, it'll work and all?
I did look up some info, like the motherboard size, and i think my motherboard should fit in this other case. Anyways, here are the two cases and my site that has my list of parts. Blue Raidmax Scorpio 868 Mid-Tower Case w/ 420W AMD/P4 Power Supply Chieftec Dragon Series Blue ATX Case with Clear Side, Front USB - FireWire and 400Watt Power Supply My Parts List-Check it Out |

Yes, they will work. All you need to do to make sure that your parts will fit in a particular case is to make sure that they are the same form factor (ATX and ATX).
That being said, I don't know about the PSU in either of those. Go with an Enlight, Enermax or Sparkle. By the way, I would go with a 2500+ for the CPU and dumb the SE video card, go with the Pro version. |

The Raidmax power supplies are questionable and not reccommended.
You can find the same case here and be able to swap out the power supply with a better quality one. Like the site you posted,the only available one is in silver,the other colors are expected soon. http://store.yahoo.com/directron/868w.html |

I like the Chieftec because it has more room and as mentioned make sure to get a good PSU.
