After poking around in the motherboard forum, it's become apparent that I should upgrade my Case/PowerSupply to help stability in my system. I've got an Asus P4S8X motherboard and my current case just cant power all my stuff.

I was looking at some Antec stuff that I found attractive, and I read alot of people talking about Lian Li stuff here, which I havent really looked in to.

I upgrade my computer rather frequently, so the more accessibility, the better. I really only need 4 x 5.25" bays, and 3 x 3.5" bays (Only *need* one exposed). Of course more bays would be welcome.

I'm hoping for something in the 400W range with a good deal of current on the 12v rail (The Antec case I was looking at was 18A I think). But I'm trying not to break the bank on this either. The Antec stuff was in the 100 dollar range, so I'm looking to find something in that area.

Any help is appreciated.

My computers work just fine until I try to "fix" them.

Antec.
LianLi
Enermax
Atlas/sunflower/directron

All make good quality aluminium cases.

And a Antec, Enermax or Toptower PSU.

Antec make very nice cases. Built a system with the 1080AMG Truepower 400W not long ago. Very nice innards and features.

Lian Li case is good investment if you upgrade often. It is better design than the Antec case. I have a Antec 1030B. It is larger than the Lian Li PC68 but have less drive bay and is a lot heavier. Lian Li case also have removable motherboard tray and looks a lot better.
