Recomendations for black cases

[cgrant]

Im planning on building a system for my cousin, and she is really interested in a black case... can anyone recomend a nice mid-size ATX black case. Nothing too big, and nothing too ostentatious! thanks. -cg

Here's some.

I like Antec, I know people on this board also like Fong Kai and Lian-Li's cases.

Edit: Beat me to it.

I picked up the black Alienware 'hydraulic' mid-tower case from Directron and I'm very pleased with it. It only cost me something like $42 without a power supply. Check it out, its a nice one.

I agree with the Alienware case suggestion - inexpensive, but good quality. The face cover also eliminates the problem of having to find colored drives or painting your faceplates.

Some people claim the airflow is poor, but I get excellent cooling with mine using a PS w/ intake on the bottom (the default Directron 250W PSes have this), 80mm intake in front, and 80mm intake on the side blowhole (preinstalled as an exhaust, turn it around).

Antec SX1030B, get them at onvia.com, or egghead. alittle big, but more airflow.

Yeah, I definitely agree. I bought myself a black hydraulic case last year and I still love this case.
