Good site I can buy ATX cases?

Trio · 04-20-2008, 03:10 AM

A week ago I found a site called ATXcases that I thought was great, but after doing something research on the site I found out its, well, not reliable.

Does anyone know a good site where I can buy cases? I'm looking for an ATX case that has a front 120mm or 140mm fan, a 120mm exhaust fan,two optional 120mm or 80mm fans on the side ( if there are cases that has those...), that has a window and cool looking accesories like LED lights or something. Thank you

I have a question: While searching for a good case I found a few that have pre-made holes for Liquid cooling. I was wondering, could I do this with my own case? (stupid question, I know). If I can, where should I drill the holes and exactly how... big the hole should they be? Is there a guide for this sort of thing?

Also... could I make holes for ventalation? Where do I make them?

(Incase your wondering why I just don't buy a case with these things... its because I'm limiting how much I spend on a case to $150 or less)

Yes you can create your own holes, and then add some grommets to feed the tubing in through. Or you can feed the lines through an open PCI slot.

Cases that you want:

Coolermaster Centurion 590 (i find the best)
Antec 900
Antec 1200
Coolermaster Stacker 690

lol, wow, thanks. Those are really powerfull cases.

So much to choose from. I don't want to have 100 fans on my case making lots of noise, but I don't want to upgrade to water cooling because of the dangers either... Fans have LED lights on em, but water cooling systems have colored coolants and tubes, right? (If not, forget water cooling!)

yes water cooling needs tubes

Antec P182 is a great case
