Changing pc case

What should i take into consideration when changing my pc case??

Ethan3.14159 · 06-17-2008, 04:28 AM

does the case have a good amount of space to work, does it have good airflow, is it made of steel or aluminum. steel is cheaper but heavier and doesnt disperse heat as well as aluminum. probably the best case out right now is the antec 900 or if your looking for something bigger but more expensive go with thermaltake, but thermaltake makes very high quality cases

In addition to the above-Post, get something that visually appeals to you. There are some cases that have great airflow, but are downright ugly, IMO. It all boils down to what appeals to you. Not everyone will need the space for 7 case fans, either, so be sure to explore all your options. Cooler Master makes some absolutely beautiful cases that offer great airflow at a *very* decent price.

Ok thanks. In another forum they were mentioning something about getting ATX case for ATX boards and knowing the difference between an ATX and a MATX. So does those really matter?

Well i'm not sure because i got it awhile back but it didn't have any logos on it dell,hp etc. I heard that i can determine which case i'm currently using by looking at the amount of slots on the back of the case.
