Case Reccomendation
« on: January 24, 2005, 01:44:55 PM »
I'm needing to build a new machine from gound up as my old one is falling part. The biggest problem I'm having is finding a good case. What I'm looking for is something that offers front USB and Firewire ports while not costing more that $80. That's the hard part. I don't need fancy temperature displays (in fact, I find those vey ugly) or flashing neon light kits or other nonsense. What can any of you reccomend to me? It doesn't need to come with a power supply and it will wind up housing a AMD 64 mobo.

Here's what I need at least:

    Front USB and Firewire port - any number.
    At least four 5 1/4 inch bays.
    At least three 3 1/2 inch bays.
    Won't put me in the poor house.
    [/list:u]

    I don't care about case material. It can be cheap plastic or Sherman Tank Iron. I've hit NewEgg and TigerDirect and haven't found anything yet.

There's probably plenty more on that site.

EDIT:Actually, not really. Not for that price anyway.

Here you go buddy. All of these are under $80 except for the last case which is $84. Click on the case for details.




















EDIT: Ooops.. all of these are from tigerdirect so you probably saw them already. Maybe you can check out Fry's.

I am still a real big fan of these Raidmax cases that Newegg is selling for around 30 dollars. I used to have three of them, but now only used one because I bought two rackmountable cases.

Well since you like that one, they have it for $58 here.

Or you can pay $68 from these guys since they offer free shipping.

I don't actually know these companies so buy at your own risk.

I've had good luck with zipzoomfly and they (usually) offer free 2-day shipping.
