Hi all...

Looking for some advice/help on getting a case for overclocking. I will probably end up with a P4 2.8Ghz 800Mhz FSB Proc. Want to overclock to at least 3.0, maybe 3.2 Ghz. Looking of a decent case to use for overclocking. Thinking of the AOpen A600. But not sure if the cooling It does is sufficient enough. The review on this site rates the cooling as pretty darn good, but most tricked out cooling cases have fans and blowholes everywhere.

Just looking for a case that is not going to break the bank and will get me to 3.0 or 3.2 Ghz...

Thanks!

I thought I'd post in this thread since I'm looking for the same thing. Except I'm looking to overclock an XP2500+ to XP3000+ or XP3200+ speeds. I've been looking at an Antec Sonata case since I want my pc to be reasonably quiet as well. However having read the reviews they say that out of the box the cooling is not as good because there isn't a second 12cm fan at the front of the case. Anyway I'd also like to know if anyone knows of a black case with good cooling and a side window for a fairly cheap price(preferably a good looking case).

thanks!

If you want a nice sturdy case with good looks and cooling consider the $55 Chieftech steel cases at Newegg. They use the same chassis as the classic Antecs.
