New Computer Case

Danhill · Mar 31, 2004, 06:17 PM

I was thinking of buying a new case, but don't now really what and how a good case should be. I may have found one though (see the url and the specs below) The reason for me to buy a new case is that I want 1 more harddrive and I don't have the place for a new one in my current case (I have 2 harddrives right now) and my current case also have very poor ventilation. So what do you guys think, is it a good case??

Thanks, I saw that earlier, the pice tag is bit too much for me, (1995 SEK) thats about 200 $ and the one above from antec is
(995 SEK) thats about 90-100 $

Danhill · Mar 31, 2004, 06:37 PM

The URL still doesn't work, sorry I don't now what else to do, it was a picture of it....well well..

Widkidone · Mar 31, 2004, 06:42 PM

Actually i got the case for about $135

**MIG-31** · Mar 31, 2004, 06:58 PM

one of these cases they do look very good and the reviews of what i have seen rate them very well.

this was found via a kelkoo search with the case name you provided.

UnIcOrN · Mar 31, 2004, 07:06 PM

Got the same case as you did Danhill
Ordered mine a week ago and got it last thursday.
This is the only pic i could find
What color did you ordered your's ?

~~HawK~~ · Mar 31, 2004, 07:20 PM

Yeah doubted a while if I should buy the 1000AMG, but went for the P160 for the loads of space it has and the unique drive bay,
although one might think that for a 140 euro a lill speaker would not be to much to ask

could be kept in mind at that site.just depends on if and how much the shipping would cost compared to the stores/sites in sweden.

Danhill · Mar 31, 2004, 07:42 PM

Thanks for the tip, I will check as many prices as I can before I get it at the end of the month.

I've got a coolermaster black widow as well. I was tempted by the chieftec/antec offerings but the case cover is hinged on the wrong side for me (right handed, pc on right hand side of me).

Danhill · Apr 1, 2004, 07:42 AM

Has anyone seen any review on this Antec case?? If so please let me know.
