Need new case, any ideas?

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Yeah, just like what it says. I need a new case that is an ATX but is compatible with microATX (my board is microATX). A window would be nice and I need all of this to be under $100. Thanks, please tell me any websites or stores that I could get one.

Anyone? *echo*

why not just buy a micro atx case, or buy an atx mobo?

your selection will be cut in half trying to find one that fits both.

a nice ATX case for cheap would be the Spire case series, usually under $50.

most come with a 80mm rear fan, and a huge 120mm+ side panel fan with airflow cone. No window however. the front isnt even plastic, its some wierd rubber material, with a crackled leather like appearance. nothing feels too cheap on it either, cept the on/off and reset buttons wiggle alot.

they dont come with PSU's.

this is what i have, and it works well for me

Satchmo, that should work with a microATX motherboard then right?
I'm going to get another 400-watt powersupply so that I can transfer my second computer(HP) to this for LANs and such.

Looks to be a nice lan party case. Seems good for a micro ATX as well.

By the way thanks PVT, That is my next case for an extra build.

I was actually thinking about getting that but on the HP, a Pentium D also, has heat problems and I don't think a SFF case will help it's temps. I might go with an ATX mid-tower and use liquid cooling because these Pentium D's are hott!

go to www.pricewatch.com and look for a case in the 60-100 dollar range. narrow down your search by choosing an aluminum case

[KennyT772]

well any atx case will allow a mini atx mobo...i actually would reccomend a m-atx mobo and a full/mid tower atx case for liquid cooling...you have a ton of room for a res and pump..

Try this model in Frozencpu. What do you feel? I bought one before. Cause I am batman's fans. But the structure is useful....its just my personal recommend...

:D :D

[devinXkillyou]

those look cheaply made and the design sucks. imo

[PVTCaboose1337]

K, thermaltake soprano, or cooler master centurion 5.

[devinXkillyou]

go with the soprano, i dont really like the design of the centurion

[pt]

for me i would choose a thermaltake eclipse (with window) or a 3R R910 (pine) (without window - http://www.3rsys.com/english/products/view.asp?navi=case&idx_num=58 in my opinion it has a good design and you can make a window on it, doesn't know if they are sold in America and what is the price

[devinXkillyou]

ive never seen that 3R R910 pine but it looks like a good, quality case.

[pt]

A shop near my home has lots of 3r's cases, and because i know the owner i can ask him to try and get one for me when i built my next rig, i have a 3r r103 Aluminium and like it, the only problem is ventilation because the case is small
