Good Case?

Im looking for an atx case. I have a mobo and a psu already bought.

I am buying 8800 GTX and am worried about buying a case that will be to small for it to fit.

How much money do you wan't to spend, how drives do you have, do you wan't full or mid tower? Do you plan on ocing like mad?

Ocing scared me because I dont want to break my new computer. I do want good air flow

the PC I'm building is ment to be a gamming PC. 2 GBS of DDR 2 800 Mhz
q6600 8800gtx


The main things im looking for is air flow, enough room to fit the 8800 GTX and it would be nice if it looked good

I dont want to spend more then $140 Canadian

I would look into an Antec 900 or Antec P180-182 series. All those are full cable of what you are gonna be using. They also have great airflow. The P Series is quieter. Good luck.

In my opinion, a Lian Li aluminum case fits the bill. They have an understated clean and classy look, similar to a silver Lexus.

Other people like plastic windows and a barrage of lights, similar to a "pimped out" Civic.

I heard the antec cases above are hard to put together?

I don't believe in wasting money on a case as it's just a box that stops the bit's from flapping in the breeze, much better to concentrate the cash on the bits inside the case.

I dont agree with that.

The better the cases the cooler your parts. Its a fact that the higher temp your parts get the lower performance you will get.

paying 2000 dollars for a pc and cheaping out on the case only to have your computer overheat/ Parts not fit is wasting your money

I don't subscribe to your theory as I've always used the cheapest case I could lay my paws on and compared to users on this forum who have posted their temps mine are amongst the lowest and I don't do W/C.

I was thinking the NZXT LEXA ATX Aluminum Case Black 4X5.25 2X3.5 5X3.5INT No PS Temp Display Window & Carrying Strap

I dont know if I can fit the Card into this though?

Consider a cooler master centurion 5 for $50.

Antecs are good to fit an 8800 gtx as i am also in the process of building a new unit. Personnally i like the zalman faitality. 2x92mm fans going in 120mm fan going out. A bit pricey here though.
