Case necessary?

[Apd904]

Hey everyone, I was planning on hopefully saving enough money to build myself a decent gaming comp sometime this summer, and was just wondering if the extra 75$ for a sweet looking case is worth it. I'm not gonna be showing it off, I just want something that works, and if I can use the same case I have now and take EVERYTHING out, that'd be good. Also, building my own comp from parts from newegg would be alot cheaper than buyingn an OEM right? I want a gaming comp that'll run online games with decent graphics and very smooth.

If your gonna be gaming with good hardware you will probably need a good air flow.

Then again... I don't know

Cheap cases usually don't have that.

I think it's definietly worth it to invest in a good case. First off, it looks good. Instead of an ugly cheapo case you have a sleek, understating; or flashy and bright (depends on what you want) case. Furthermore good cases usually have better cooling potentials.

it really depends on your level of techiness
a case is great and worth it for all most anyone
but if your more into benching and benchmark cooling then youd be better off just making a work bench

by the looks of it you should probably just buy a 50$ case

Cheap solution from Antec:

Add a Hard disk silencer that cools as well and you'll still be cheaper then a 900

And looks better too. What's the name of that case?

Antec Three Hundred. Do type the words rather then just 300, Antec 300 will get you a Antec 300 minuet flat Desktop case.... Which is something you'd see on schools.

I don't show off my case often, but people still think it looks really cool. (It's not that great.) For me though since it's right next to the monitor, I want it to look nice.

I enjoy the look of a big black box. Though, unlike you, I plan on putting it on the ground (and possibly making nice extensions on the bottom and then making fans in the bottom)

visit www.newegg.com and in the search bar, type case, you can then select your price range. I got mine for under $50, and it has 3 fans, and works great!
