What case 2 take?? (im noob)

[Dommel]

Hi,
Befor I start I need 2 tell you al that im noob at al this hardware, tweaking and building stuff :| thx 2 this site and forum (just joined) ill get many help from al of you and the guides (thx tom)

But here`s whats going on:
I just got some new hardware and build it in my PC, this was my first time I had 2 take everything out and begin all over again. happely everything worked
But becuse I had 2 do this I came to the conclusion that I have a crapy case were I need 2 take of the holl cover as 1 big part, not like other case`s were you can remove the panels 1 buy 1 and its not a midi-tower but a mini-tower or thats what I think, I`ff got a smaller case then the ones on the case guide from "Tom's Guides" <http://www6.tomshardware.com/howto/20020521/index.html>
so I think I got a mini-tower. but anyway, I dont have any space for a case fan :S
So I realy can use a beter case, but if possibe I want some info of what you all got? or maybe some tips
if it comes to a case I dont minde the price.

and 1 other thing I dont understand, how do you connect more then 1 case fan?... on my mobo I only have 1 connection :S

Your case fans plug into the power connectors from the Power Supply Unit (PSU). Many PSU's have connectors specifically for extra case fans.

If you're looking for quality cases with plenty of room, check out brands like Antec, ThermalTake, Lian-Li, Cooler Master, and Enermax. Just about any case with the features you're looking for would work fine, the big thing is to make sure you have a quality PSU (which doesnt neccesarily come with the case). Here's some links for you to check out different cases.

If you want to make do with what u got u could mod ur case.

See if a fan could be added to the side panel. They put one there in some of those nice cases being recommened. See if there is room and if so get out ur Dremmel.

There might be other places to add a fan like the bottom.

Anyway make sure there is room if u do stuff like that.

Well people look at the front more so think of something artistic to do there if ur going to do it. Also often, plastic cover in the way. Careful there. Look around the net 4 ideas.

Some guys do nice art that way. Use a nice grill. Looks spiffy. Plan carefully b4 modding.
