Title: Advice on a case
Post by: Varg on August 21, 2008, 05:28:17 PM
I need a new case that cools well for < 100 dollars. Any know any good deals/cases?

Full tower would be nice but not nessesary. (cant be microATX though)
  Quality/cooling above flash/LED shit.

Yea, yours is actually a knock off of the Antec 900, one of the higher rated midrange cases: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021
I am highly considering that one.
Thanks for the advise troyer, but according to the reviews those look like the cool about as good as my buttcrack. Thanks though, just sayin.

Antec is always a solid choice. My favorite case manufacturer.

I'm still using the Antec case I bought 8 years ago when I first built my gaming rig.  Thing is fucking bulletproof.

Same with me, I'm going on 8 years and there is no sign of this thing letting up. I will probably buy a new one soon though, because as solid as mine is, it doesn't have as much cooling as I"d like for SLI in the future.

Antec all the way

This case was a great buy. If anyone needs a new one i highly recommend it. It cools extremely well and has fixed my performance issues in that regard. Very quite as well.
This probably belongs in the tech forum, but it only has front audio connectors for AC32 (or whatever the mobo audio is called) and no connectors for my soundblaster. Is there such a thing as adapters for that?
