Case specifics.

[Lalakai]

I'll be building another system shortly and still looking for the optimum case.

Big things I'm looking for are: screwless entry, removable motherboard panel, extra fan mounts, and tower. The Antec SX1030 had been my choice but I'm still open to suggestions. I'ld appreciate any feedback or experiences folks have.

Btw, I'll be going w/700 Duron and either an Asus or Soyo motherboard. Thanks,...........and don't be shy.

Some very good cases are made by Addtronics, the maker of the Supermicro cases, but they are expensive.

You might also search the AnandTech forums for this topic, since it is a common one.

Another vote for the sx1030
I've had mine ~8 weeks now & love it. The side door is great (use to be my case was never
together, but it's too easy now to keep it together)
The fan in front of the 3.5: HD bay is WAY COOL. I have 2 10G SCA SCSI drives that in other
cases were almost too hot to touch, but with a fan blowing over them now, they're only warm to
the touch.
Only one problem for me. I now need to bring back my external cases to add anything else. (but that's not this case's fault)

 

I love my 1030x.
Big, bad, and cool.
Drive bay slide rails own, clip in fan holders.
Easy removal side, and locks on the front panel and the side door.
Great case.
