This is my first build. I received a gift certificate to newegg and I want to upgrade my case. I have a hard budget of $160 shipped and I need some help deciding between these cases:
PC-65B - $150.05 shipped.
- I like the window, but is there going to be a problem with cooling or noise with only 80mm fans?
PC-60B plus II - $155.00 shipped
- No window, but 120mm fans ...
PC-7b plus II - $115.00 shipped
- No window, 120mm fans, but I read that it isn't constructed as well as the other two.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
This is the first upgrade for a brand new system that I would like to last for quite a few years. I will be doing it piece by piece as my budget allows. It will, hopefully, culminate in: (I don't plan on finishing until Christmas time)
AMD 3700+ San Diego (939)
ASUS A8N5X Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4
Nvidia 7900GT
2x - 250g HDD
Better power supply than I currently have
Various other nick-nacks (media card reader, dvd burner...)
