Cheap case reccomendation for ASUS P5LD2 Motherboard

Randomletters · Jan 27, 2006, 10:53 PM

I need one thats known to fit the P5LD2 without any issues Im currently looking at This Raidmax

But I saw this in the comments section "ther Thoughts: Be ready to drill a hole in the top for another fan.If you have an intel board with the heatsink, be ready to drill holes for the screws in the case itself. If you want front audio, you'll need an exstension cord from your card with plugs."

What?

ohh caught in a bind i can order the deluxe refurbed for 10 dollars less but it doesnt come with anything, considering this is my first build should I just go with the non deluxe as itll come with all the cables i need?

Ill just go with the non Deluxe and save myself any future cable related headache

I just got this case and put a Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo in it... it's a bit of a tight fit, but it's a really nice case especially for a computer what will sit in the living room.

my only preference when it comes to cases is a side window

This will be the first computer i paid in full for myself and i really wanna show it off. Case and Mobo have been ordered

rest of the stuff comes next week.

ja i have that case myself, quite a nice one, plenty of room

my only gripe is that the pci retention bracket won't work with everything

After several days with my XION II, I'm very happy with it. Plenty of room! And the price is very good for all the features.

(You already know I swapped out the PSU, though.

)

a bit off topic, but how well does the board overclock? I just purchased one, and should be here by the end of the week.
