    Computer Case Recommendations ??

    Hey people, I know that a lot of you are on top of things, so I figured that I'd ask for your recommendations on computer cases.

    I'm looking for a nice case with lots of cooling fans. Thermaltake has some nice looking models that I might jump on, but I figured that I'd see what all of you think. New Egg has some nice models HERE you can click on the "See It" link for each model to see them. I like the fact that they have a lot of fans and I've heard lots of good things about them.

    As far as what I want, I'm looking at spending in the $80-$125 range, I don't wanna get too carried away on a case. Side panels don't really matter if it's clear or not. I guess that it's the going thing nowadays, but it's gonna be in a computer center, so it's not a big thing. The thing for me is that it'll keep my stuff cool

          Wooops, sorry, let me rephrase that, it's in a computer desk that has the little cabinet section with the door on it (I took the door off though) and there's an airway behind it

              yea, i pretty much figured thats what it was... its still going to inhibit the air flow to the case, which will cause temps to be higher... unless of course, you want to go with a watercooling setup

                  I got this one off newegg not too long ago.. it's an Antec clone. Comes standard with 5 fans.. 2 in the front, 2 in the back, 1 side and has plenty of room to upgrade.

                  It was only $62.00 when I bought it though, guess newegg raised the price

                  Edit: It's a Chieftec case..

                      FrozenCPU has a ton of different cases. From $60 to 900. You'll probably find what you're looking for there.

                      Spend you some brain.

                          Get a Antec Lanboy case, should be around $100 and you won't regret it.

                          Well any Antec case is great, since they make awesome power supplies.

                              WTF is with these new cases having acrylic sides? I really could give less shit about seeing what's inside my computer. It's electronics for crying out loud.
                              I couldn't possibly know what I'm talking about, I'm completely, absolutely and definitively out of my fucking mind.

                                  I've got the same thing, except I ordered mine with a power supply included. Plus I added two more fans for the bottom front.
