I'm pretty new here, so I've been reading a lot and asking questions when I have them, but I'm still having a lot of trouble picking a case.
I've learned a few things, like you generally shouldn't trust a supplied PSU, water cooling isn't for me, and this thing is gonna be way more expensive than I thought. I don't know anything about overclocking, but I'd like to learn, so a quality cooling case is important.
I have a budget that tops out around $100, especially considering I'll have to buy a PSU seperately for another ~$100. Originally it was my hope to get both wrapped up for $60-$80, but it doesn't seem like that option provides well with a decent system inside.
That said, here's my planned system:
AMD 64 "Venice" 3200+
eVGA 256mb 7800 GT
unknown mobo, probably DFI LanParty
unknown ram, probably 2x1gb Crucial ValueSelect
unknown hdd, probably 2-300gb Seagate Barracuda
unknown disk drive, some kind of dvd/cd rw
So.. I have a lot more work to do, hehe.
The main requirement I have for the case is simply that it be black and silver with blue LEDs, if any, to match the rest of my computer. I only plan on using 1 disk drive, 1 hard drive, and probably no floppy so don't need tons of room for that stuff. I would like some front/top USB ports and a headphone jack, if possible.
I like the Aspire X-Navigator, it looks great and with that PSU, is a nice price. Also, the AeroCool SpiralGalaxy that wusy has been talking about is cool too, now that I've figured out how it works. I wish the silver and black were switched though, heh.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any and all help!
