and others.

Not specifying which 9 bays it has, you know the two posted above have 11 and 12 bays...

It appears the LOGISYS comes with fans but the Sunbeam has LEDs built in. Otherwise, I see no real reason to pick one over the other. Perhaps someone knows more about their build quality...

Which ever you get, I'd upgrade the fans if it comes with any. Try to get some decent, high performance ones. Most the fans that come with cases(particularly colored ones) are fairly cheap.
 
well right now i have one 92 and my psu fan. not alot of cooling power. my cpu is at 55C idle, which is why i have a compatibility question for you involving the connectors. my current (stock) heatsink is on a 4 pin connector, but the zalman coller i would like to get runs off of a 3pin. i have a feeling it would work on the 4 pin, but now im asking you guys because im not sure. it looks like the 4 pin is just a 3 pin with an extra pin on the side.. i have pics.

3 pin, right?

4 pin. compatible with the zalman heatsink? my current heatsink is on the below connector.

the 4-pin is also a 3-pin, just don't use the extra pin
 
ahh, ok thanks. dangit i love this forum. im sure my friends do too because then i dont have to bother them so much ^_^ thanks!

that basically answers any of my questions.. if i have more related to cases ill just post it in here. i just wanted to double check that i would have any issues with my psu not fitting or something of that sort.
 
its a sony.

hmm, what about the back, you know all the usb ports..the onboard vga cnnection, the speaker connections, the keyboard..what about the holes? what if they dont fit right? it sort of looks like some of those backins are interchangable though.
 
it will fit in a case, but make sure you take out the IO plate

Also, take a full picture of your motherboard
