Which Case?

Eminemdrdre00 · Jun 22, 2005, 04:52 AM

Im going to be building my first PC this summer. Im not sure which case to go with. I do not care about front audio or firewire ports, so with that note, is there anything that this case has that this one doesnt?

How much are you willing to spend?

Eminemdrdre00 · Jun 22, 2005, 02:39 PM

I dont really want to spend more then 55$ on a case, im on a tight budget. For 350$ I'll be getting a case, socket 754 mobo w/PCI-E, AMD64 2800+, 512MB PC3200 RAM, and an 80gig SATA drive. Im getting a 6600gt as a gift and I'll be using my old monitor,speakers, cd drives etc. from my old PC. Im 17 and make 30$ a game umpiring baseball right now, plus I need to save money for car insurance, thats why I cant spend more then 350-400 right now.

I see. The cases I was going to recommend were going to cost at least $100. Not sure if you wanted a full or mid tower case, but here's one: http://www.xoxide.com/ultra-wizard-m...e-uv-blue.html

I believe Veridian3 did a review on the dragon case by Ultra: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviews/UltraCase/

I got this case on one of my builds. I was very surprised at the overall quality of the case, especially for the price. It's extermely quiet (I can very barely hear hit running with 2 120mm fans) and it comes with a sturdy 350w PSU and a nice front door to hide those discolored 5.25ers you might have.

It's also very clean, sleek and modern albeit a bit heavy though. I would definitly recommend that, or a similar Antec case if you can budget it over some Korean no-name brand.
