mATX Case

[pIII_Man]

I'm building a pc for a freind, 2.6c, 1gb, of ram radeon 9600...

Anyhow...i need a good looking mATX case, i have come up with Zilch! All the cases i have looked at are...well just plain ugly!

Anyhow any recomendations would be welcome...

I would like to be able to use full hight cards and would perfer the case would be tower (not desktop) style. Also the ability to use a full size psu would be great...

any ideas?

I recommend you look at ALL the mATX cases from Newegg. Some are mis-catagorized, so you'll need to check ALL the form factors in order to actually see ALL the mATX cases...sux huh?

Look for a review of some MicroATX cases shortly.

I just saw some interesting cases at Gigacase.

I personally use a YY-A102 for my LAN party machine. It's a great small case and you can now get it with a 270w PSU.

If you don't mind getting something a little bigger look at the YY-3412, since it uses a normal ATX PSU and seems to have better airflow.

Micro ATX is of course the better alternative to all these crappy SFF/Flex ATX boxes.

Just an update, the MicroATX case review is finished and should be posted shortly.

I think you will find the variety of cases review unique and the slant on the article some what different than the typical MicroATX case review.

Thanks!

I had met Darren Polkowski (is/was with TH) at the last Million man LAN in KY and he was very "soon as your done we want to review that" about a case I was working on. It's a very original micro ATX case. A couple customers have done some nice mods to them even. Well, it's done If you like, www.vinster.com is the site and there are some other Pics in the forums of the LAN party I host (for 4 years now) www.nelp.net
I would be glad to send one out for review if you guys would like.

hope you like it,
