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?

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.

ah thank you zyprid the v564 was the case that i was trying to find. I had seen it a few months back but never remembered who made it. Its usless now though the system was ordered he didnt like any mATX cases i found him so instead he chose a HUGE coolermaster case...go figure. Anyhow the parts should be in today or tomarrow...

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,

Greg aka Vinster
