Full Tower case recommendations please

[SuperGroove]

Hey all, I dunno if I ask for advice when it comes to buying stuff...I almost always know what I want. Anyways, my Slot-A T-bird gets a little hot running at 1GHZ and slapping on a peltier would only cause more heat issues. I am upgrading from an Enlight 7237, so I'm a bit spoiled. I'd like a case that-

-Has a removeable(sp?) 3 1/2" case a la Enlight 7237
-Has 5 1/4" drive rails
-prefer it to have motherboard rails
-prefer to have the PS mounted as far away from the MB as possible. The main reason for the clutter in my case, is the extremely long cables on my Enermax EG-451P-VE.
-I don't need a PS
-I would like it to be less than $100

I have this in mind, but I don't know if whether or not it has a removeable 3 1/2" cage and 5 1/4" drive rails



Thanks all,
Paul

BUMP!

Heres one that is overpriced and is not quiet but it is the best case I have ever had the Tornado 2000 from 3dcool.com.

I would highly reccommend the Addtronics 7896A. This is one hell of a case, more room than you know what to do with, and too many places for fans. Have you ever heard of that before.... too many Just check thier site, and I believe that there are a few selling in the for sal / forum for about 100.

Check this full tower.
InWin Q500 full tower

www.mwave.com - They sell it for $73(I think it's a great price)

The Aopen HX08 or the HQ08's

Another vote for Addtronics.

This is the best deal I have found on the Addtronics 7890a. With shipping it is about $126.

A vote for addtronics if you want the best.....a vote for AOpen HX-08 if you want it cheap. I've a Enermax EG651-PVE in a Addtronics 7890A. Simply: GREAT.

Get the Antec KS-188 instead of an HX-08. Same case, different bezel and PS. Sad how we KS-188 owners are thinning out...

 

[hagbard]

There are better cases than those Antecs, with much better power supplies. A-open makes one that better quality, more space and has bettter cooling. Even my mid-tower Elan Vital does a better job cooling than anything Antec produces, imo.

I have the AOpen HX08, and I hate it. You have to take off the top, and then pull back the side all the way to get the side off. Maybe its just me, but bleh, I can't stand it. The Addtronics are nice though.

The case you linked to is a nice case. It does not have removeable hard drive racks but for the price it is a nice case. I have ordered a couple of these in the past and am very pleased with them. $73.00 is way too much though. Here is a link to a site that has them for about $18 cheaper and they don't pad the shipping charges. (cost me $11)

I'll second that recommendation for the InWin Q500: excellent build quality, removable motherboard try, and relatively inexpensive for a full tower.

 

[sparkle]

go with the HX08, its the one I really wanted, but couldn't fit in my desk ( i have a very small room, so I need all the space I can get)

My Addtronics has a removeable HDD tray.
