Need a good case

At this point I am going to recommend my power supply, haha. I know, I know how egotistical, but I've gone through loads of different power supplies such as Enermax, and Antec. But the best one I've had (and the quietest) is the one I have at the moment. A Hiper-D 580 true watt PSU. It gives pretty good results on the 12v rail too, apparently. (so it's stable) Also the power supply you require is going to be dependant on your system... Make sure the power supply you DO choose is certified for the CPU you have... and if you have an Sli motherboard get an Sli certified PSU. Just my 10 pence. Or 10 cents if you're from US.

Aspire / 500-Watt / ATX / Dual 80mm LED Fan / Black Aluminum, Clear Top / Power Supply < That PSU seems to be all about looks, and not performance.

Bobo's recommendation seems great by the way! Gotta love those cable management power supplies, like mine. Me, me, me. Haha.

Actually, that Hiper PSU is what I am getting (and yes, I love the modular cables :D ) but the only reason that I didn't pick it is because I wanted one the same price as the power supply on that site. ($75)
 
i wont be able to get anything from the us. i live in Canada, shipping is just way too expensive. getting it from a canadian site only costs about $30 or less
 
I have that case, and it just isn't working for me. Its a nice case though, just want something that I can use for my first mod and mod the crap out of it.:D

I have that case too, and it works fine after I figured out how to use it, for the lack of a manual.

But be very very careful with the front temp diode, it breaks incredibly easily. :rolleyes:
 
I would really recommend an Antec case (if you dont need flashiness). They are very quiet and they look good. (Sonata II is VERY quiet and comes with a pretty nice PSU (450w Smart Power), and the Performance I is quiet, has a TON of expansion space, and is very cool (temperature wise as well as "hip"). With the right fan modding, I was able to get my CPU to a 45 degree full-load (CODII for 3 hours the other night) and I cant hear the computer at all. Check out the black version too.

No, i do not work for Antec... ;)
