Honestly, I recommend Antec cases.... that way you get a good case and a GREAT power supply all in one.

On a case... go for "quality"... because the case will live on when the mobo, CPU, hard drives, and other computer parts have been long replaced.

SnowSurfer · 01-24-2005, 07:15 PM

Do not get a rosewill case, they are cheap but the power supplys suck, the fans are loud and they are poorly made. The motherboard tray took two people to pull out, worst case ever. Im still using it, but its the worst case ever. Oh well first time you put a computer together i guess u pick some wrong ****...for me it was the case, motherboard, cpu, ram, psu video card...i did pick a good hd though...

in conclusion stay away from rosewill

70$ at max, or under. (PERIOD)
edit:

Not sure where you are, but if your near a Fry's they have the Antec Sonata for $60 after rebate. I just got one... it is quite, and pretty easy to install.

yeah markel has that one its neat, but the 120mm fans didn't work to good on his so... cool though good price, i wonder how much Markel paid?

AlpineJay · 01-25-2005, 09:50 AM

I like the Antec Lanboys.

Daversinger · 01-25-2005, 01:47 PM

arg, i was looking for one an then nate found the lanboy for 50$ after rebate (oslt). Anyways he bought it and didn't tell me till after the sale was over... but i don't know if he wants me to have the same case as him.

daedal · 01-25-2005, 02:08 PM

I got an Antec "Quiet Series" or something like that.. 350W power Supply for 80$ CAN. Very good looking, sleek, cool and very quiet.

It was $69 (with free shipping, plus a free NewEgg logo sticker!) when I got it.

Once I added a second 120mm fan, things seem pretty good. I think my Antec PS (TruePower 430) tends to give a rather warm exhaust because it tries to be too quiet.

If you two can't get along please put each other on ignore. The rest of the forum should not be subjected to such bickering.

iLLWiLL · 01-27-2005, 02:42 PM

i was deciding between the Antec P160, and the Cooler Master Cavalier 1. I got the Cooler Master one, but that's out of your price range ($120)

i recall seeing the P160 for about $69 after rebates CompUSA 2-3 weeks ago...
