Case recomendations?

[snidy]

I'm building a new system, what is the best case and power supply? Will use for top of the line gaming system.

 

[Davegod]

power supply: Antec True Power, at whatever wattage you prefer. 430w?

Case? Well largely a matter of taste for aesphetics but for internal/chasis the aluminuim cases made from the chieftec (aka chenming) base design seem popular (and what I'm going with). Presuming you want aluminuim look at Coolermaser and Lian Li; perhaps also looking at the base Cheiftec Dragon AX-01SL-D, or Thermaltake Xasier II 6000....

I made a thread here with a couple of alu cases i like, incl. some reviews etc. All based on the cheiftec.

I just ordered myself one of these:

from staples.

430 watt true power, tons of room, nice cooling, metallica grey color. You can get it for $132.49 from staples, then use a pretty famous $30 off $100+ coupon (maybe search an obese wallet or PM me), and even pricematch it if you wanna go all out. I got it for $96.34 shipped!

power supply - Compucase/HEC

Any Antec case is awesome. As for powersupplies, I'd say truepower 430watt

yeah i'd have to say the Antec cases offer the most bang for your buck. My coolermaster is the best case i've ever had though but it's certainly not worth the money they charge.

This is a cheaper way to go, if money is an issue.



Personally, I would buy Antec w/430 w power supply.

I own 3 Antecs, 2 each Antec SX1040 (400w, biege) and 1 each Antec SX1080 w/430w power supply, 1394 firewire & 2 Usb port in front of case.

I like the biege color the best, but Antec went to metalliac gray.

Another vote for Antec for both PS and case.

i cant rave enough about the new kingwin cases (436). attractive, not flimsy like aluminum, but dissipates heat MUCH better than steel (it an al-mg alloy) and its available in black, silver, and blue. it does not have the door you're looking for but you might wanna take a look anyway:

this is the model in black, i'm getting one for xmas and i cant wait.

note: this is a directron case, its a rebadged superflower, superflower being the manu for kingwin

If I was going to get a new case, I'd get the Global-Win YCC-61F1-B (review here).

For the power supply, I'd get a Turbo Cool 475 ATX from PC Power and Cooling.
