Help: What Case to Buy?

[snowdogg187]

I am looking at the Enlight 7237 right now
1.2ghz266 tbird and Asus a7vkt133a are ordered
would I need anything bigger?
Any opinions are greatly appreciated.
I will be in the forums.

Maybe let me know where you got a good case/ps
do most places include fans?
thanks a lot

Isn't it Enlight 7237, or did you mean another Antec model.
I recommend Antec SX830. It's bigger than most mid size but smaller than full size. Lots of room and bays. But if you need more than 3 of 51/2 external bays, get Antec SX1030, same size but more 51/2 drive bays.

The SX830 is a very good case and has a very good price. It has room for 4 80mm fans.

 

[snowdogg187]

Yeah guys, I meant the enlight
if the antec sx830 is a little bigger that would probably be the way to go
especially with the possibility of adding fans
thanks

Be sure to take a look at the FK-320. It's an excellent case, and good looking too!

I have the Fong-kai 320 it is a very nice case but make sure you have the
room for it.Of course you can get it in black or beige. Check out Directtron.com
for prices.

I got the sx1030 about 1 month ago and love it. It comes w/ 2 80mm fans. I chose this over the 830 because it has 4 5&1/4 bays as opposed to 3. What is nice is even if you dont have the slots filled, it has a door to cover them up, which the 830 does'nt. I have cd, burner and sb live 5.1 so only have 1 bay left (for harddrive and cooler)

(dont know how to do the link thing)www.pagecomputer.com has them for $73 + shipping. I think around $95 to your door. But either the 830 or 1030 has been highly reccomended by many w/ your hook up.

I have an Antec sx-1030B. Great case. Looks cool, runs cool.

Yeah I'd go with the Antec. It's a little more expensive than the Enlight but depending on if you think a little bit more space and cooling is worth it, than it's the way to go. However, I put together 2 systems with the Enlight system and it's a great case also. I hate to sound like I'm sitting on the fence, but it depends on if you get in and out of your system a lot. If you do, then I think you'll be glad you paid about 30 bucks more for the Antec.

Enlight 7237 is a very good case. Get it with the 300-watt power supply and you are good to go.

I built my mother's and my brother's systems using this case and they are truly easy to work on. I love the side panel access. It's just a good design.

My primo system has an Addtronics 6896 case with wheels but it's quite a bit more expensive.

The antec SX1030B is available from onvia.com for 100 dollars plus free shipping. The Enlight 7237 with the 300W powersupply and shipping is almost 100 dollars (not sure probably 80-90) and from what I've heard the Antec is the far superior case. I can tell ya on monday hopefully. mines in the mail

 

[ElFenix]

whats the manufacturer's ID number on the SX 830 and SX 1030?

 

[confounded]

I have the enlight with an Abit kt7a raid, 1 gig t-bird blah, blah blah, 300watt ps. Must have 300watts plus of good power.

 

[jumblies]

Umm, I don't think the Enlight 7237 costs 100 bucks, I got one 5 months ago for about $60 shipped. Its a good case, but that front-bezel-off to open side panel is weak. The Inwin slide offs are better. I don't think anything looks as good as that fongKai though, it'd be a shame to mod that thing at all.

 

[DoOLiE11]

go for the antec sx1030
i got it to, one bada$$ case

 

[Hyudra]

The Lian-Li PC-60 is REAL NICE, but I have the Enlight 7237, and I'm upgrading to the Antec SX1030B.

 

[mikef208]

I have the 7237 and it's not a bad case, little on the outside, but room to work inside. I am thinking of getting a new case though, not because I don't like the enlight, just because I want something better looking.

 

[jeffrey]

take a look at the lite-on fs020

Review part 1

Review part 2

Where I bought it from

Plenty of room and great airflow with three 120mm panaflow fans

 

[BatmanNate]

The Enlight 7237 is VERY moddable, as is the Aopen Hx08....

 

[snowdogg187]

Thinking on going with the antec sx1030
Outpost is on back order
how do I get free shipping through onvia?
thanks

 

[Verygreedy]

Enlight 8900 series is nice.. get that Cool Server look with power and SPACE beyond the final frontier! Text

 

[snowdogg187]

Do you need to open the door to put in a cd or disk?
I haven't seem many good pics on the
sx-1030
is the sx-1030b the same?
how do I get free shipping from onvia?
thanks

 

[Verygreedy]

Get a 300watt PS .. youll need it soon if yuo dont already

 

[snowdogg187]

I'll buy one with a 300w ps

I'd recommend the Fong Kai too, its an excellent case, well buit, good thermals and a good price for a case (well, in the UK).

At the moment I have the Juno P6, due to not being able to find the FK-320B in the UK, it was a mistake buying it! The cases' build quality is average, and if you plan on running an AMD CPU off the generic 300W PSU, think again

I'm thinking of buying the CoolerMaster ATC-201 and an Enermax 431W PS, at least then, you should not get any problems,
