Theramlly Advantaged Chassis

[tm37]

I am getting a P4 2.80 Dual core and I want to get a new case.

In looking at the Intel site you need a Theramnally advanged Chassis and I just can not seem to find a Clean Looking Black case with that stupid air duct.

What I want

1. Black
2. Clean looking (It can have a window) but I don't want it took look all bling bling
3. Power supply is not needed. (Buying a PCP&C)
4. FULL TOWER ( I will have 2 Optical and floppy external) and two Hard Drives to start.
5. I would Perfer not to have a front door.

Antec SLK3000B is nice. meets all your requirements, uses 120mm fans and has a good price.

Antec P180 SPCR special black edition if you want a really large tower As WobbleWobble says, though, an SLK3000B will probably still serve you well and is much cheaper.

Well it does have the front door

Other than that it looks like it could be a winner.

Ok I can not see if this is Thermally avantaged Chassis.

But I do really like it and I think it looks very cool

It was early and for some reason I can't read in the morning... oops!

The SLK3000B and SLK3800B are the same case, just the SLK3800B comes with a PSU. So Antec lists the SLK3800B as thermally advantage chassis.

The P180 is definately one of the better cases out there. You do pay a premium for it, but it's as thermally advantaged as you can get. May not be officially, but its nice.

Looking very hard at that case to repalce the Antec 1080BII

Even though it has the door (which I am not crazy about reading some reviews it seems to be a very good case.

I was hoping to stay under $120 but I will be OK if I go over a little.

yeah, you sound like you're looking for quality and professional styling Lian Li PC-V2000 (for full tower), but if you dont have more than 6 hard drives, the V1200 is perfect.

Beantech Igloo 3 at Directron.com. Best price I've seen for a really top quality aluminum case.

Why do you need a TAC?

 

[fireontheway]

Because the Intel site told him so

You think you need that duct to have a cool case?

No Nessisarly the duct but there is something to be said for good airflow.

TAC does not meawn there is duct.

I means that the case airflow allows it to run to a certain temp.

You never mentioned your budget.

I am looking at getting the PCP 510W Power supply.
I would like to keep the case under $150

I will be using basically all my old stuff with this new MB / CPU so I Can Afford to get nicer stuff this time. (upgrade EVERY YEAR )

The Antec TX640B is not full-tower but big enough for what you want to put in it. Less than 100 $ with 400 Watts P/S.
