What is the Best Case

[saeapu]

Hello,

Let me first tell you my computer config.

DFI LanParty Pro 975B MOBO
P4 3.0 Ghz HT
2 - 120 PATA Hard Drives Raid
1 - 120 SATA OS Installed
1- 200 PATA Back Up
BFG Nvidia 6800 OC 128MB Video Card
1 GB Ram Dual Channel

The Problem I am having is that my case is to small...for all this equipment.
I have a mid-tower case.

I want to buy a tower case with plenty of room inside where the wires are not messing with each other.

Below is what I want as a Minimum for the case...

Atleast 5 - 3.5" Drive Bays
AtLeast 3 - 5.25" Drive Bays
A Window on the Case
Also, space for a water cooling device in the future.

I want all this to be able to fit in the case and also be not crowed.

Any Suggestions on what case I need to buy and where to buy it from.

Thanks

Coolermaster Stacker WITHOUT the hideous looking side window.

I don't know WHY people love windows and LEDs so much. They make your PC look like a childs toy.

Anything Else...?

One of those garish Xaser towers might do the job.

 

[saeapu]

i think that the Xaser is probably going to be to small.

Sorry, that's the best I can come up with at the moment. You might want to let this topic stew here in the forums for about a day, then check back. You'll probably have a few more replies by then. Good luck on your search.

this probably isn't what you want to hear, but I just got my stacker Tuesday night...awesome...
you want room, you got it, looks like its going to provide a very efficent way of cooling also, I ordered the mb fan, will see if it helps, looks very stylish too

need a powerscrewdriver to take off mb..saves time

good hunting..

Lian Li makes excellent cases as well...can't believe no one has mentioned them. Also, the Antec Sonata, and several cases by SilverStone Technology (the Temjin series).

I'll leave the research work to you and google.

He mentioned a window (I look at windows in computers right up there with screen doors for hatch covers on submarines) so I stayed off this one... While I've never really been impressed by their cheaper cases (Lian-Li) I've been extremely impressed with their V1000, V1100, V2000, and V2100 series cases. If you're willing to spend the cabbage, GET ONE... I did, and I've not been disappointed in the least.

Lian Li PC-V2100

whenever I get around to upgrading to AMD64, I'll be buying that case as well.

Thanks, loki8481,

The Lian Li PC-V2100...looks great...I think that is probably on my top list.
Along with the Stacker...

Any Others...

Once Agian thanks for all of your inputs
