Perhaps you could provide a link directly to it, or find out the actual manufacturer and model number?

Ok, <A HREF="http://store.yahoo.com/buycaseonline/usbsilver.html" target="_new">this</A> case.

Looks like a decent enough case, but I always recommend buying cases in person if possible. That way you can hold it and see what you think.

I would like to see your sig in 2 years if say amd is as good as cyrix is right now. Don't get me wrong I use AMD right now but I am not one of these militant fools that is going to argue which is the best it is all relative. Five years ago there was no real question what was the best and five years from now it could be the same again or maybe even the opposite. My point is things change so fast what are all these people going to do when one of the companies is crap? Hopefully they will both hang around for a long time to promote low prices through competion hell I wish there was 10 companies that made awsome chips for pc's but also you have to remember that we are in the minority the average computer user just goes to compUSA or calls DELL and asks for the pretty one they saw on tv an right now most of those come Intel. Hopefully Amd will stick around and the cattle that shop at compUSA to check their AOL e-mails there friends forwarded to them will wake up and learn that it is a PC not an E-mail station. Sorry for the rant I am going to go and sit back on the fence now!!!

My signature really sucks.

I have that exact case right now I have no complaints right now and I'm not having any trouble with it at all. I've done some case mods and have found them to be fairly easy. there's lots of room on the inside even with all the bays filled.


No replacement for displacement.

If I had to speculate I'd say it was a slightly tarted up version of a bog-standard, below average OEM steel case.

1 80mm intake and 1 40mm exhaust is going to get you no-where so expect from the outset to have to cut holes in this thing.

I'd go for something visually more plain, but functional. Open front intake panels and good fan exhausts around the rear cpu area are mandatory. 40mm fan will not help you at all. You'll probably end up back here in 2 months complaining about cpu and system temperatures even though you installed that pci slot cooler, 5.25" bay cooler and double fan PSU.

Trust me, save yourself some time and money and get something a little more complete from the start.

How about <A HREF="http://store.yahoo.com/buycaseonline/efxwhite.html" target="_new">http://store.yahoo.com/buycaseonline/efxwhite.html</A> ?? Its $125, but includes 330W Enermax PSU and looks to have much better stock cooling. It is a good size case, which may or may not float your boat. Personally I like big cases to work in.

I'm not specifically recommending that case btw - just suggesting the a externally fancy looking ones are often the least functional. The cases I use are probably a bit beyond your budget.

ok..i don't play on Over Clocking...and i don't plan on Filling all the bays.. one CD-RW or a DVD-RW...1 APG card..a Floppy and 1 Hard drive.

i have a Piece of [-peep-] EMACHINE 533ir that runs decent and i Use it everyday and leave it on All day long..with 2 pci cards, and 2 hd's and 2 Cd-rom drives...no problem with over heating or anything.. so i'm gonna get the USB case and Deff not CUT IT or add any special Exhaust fan or anything to that nature...
Thanks HOSS

Fair enough, your choice of course.
