I've been considering getting a new case. Either the:
ENLIGHT EN-7237AZ MEDIUM TOWER P4 CASE - OEM with 340Watts Power Supply, AMD and Intel P4 Approved, 4 5.25" Bays and 2 3.5" Bays. Model#: EN-7237AZ $60
or the
MAXTOP CSX-147K-GF-USB-GRAY **Cool Case** With 2 Additional Fans : 1 x on the Top Panel and 1 x on the Side Panel ** Intel P4/AMD Ready 350W Power Supply 2xFans 7-bay Front USB Connector Mid Tower PC CASE - RETAIL Fan: Sleeve. Dimensions (DxWxH): 18.5" x 8" x 17". Drive Bay: 5.25" External x 4, 3.5" External x 2, 3.5" Internal x 1. Model#: CSX-147K-GF-USB-GRAY $50
I really like the Maxtop case's exterior design. Interior seems roomy. The 350W powersupply unit on the Maxtop is from QMax (or something like that). I don't know how to read the power ratings on the side of a PS unit (newegg gives you a nice picture of the side of the Qmax powersupply) so I don't know if it's any good or not. Currently at home, I have a 300W Enlight so if the 350W QMax sucks, I have a nice backup available. I like the Maxtop's top and side fan. According to one of the reviews on newegg, the 2 case fans do not make that much noise.
However, friends have been recommending me the Enlight 7237 because of it's roomy interior and "rails" on the drivebays. I've heard alot about the Enlight but on the exterior, it looks a bit plain. Yes yes I know, you build computers for its performance, not for beauty pagents.
I'm a newbie at PC building (this shall be my first PC building experience) so go easy on me.
I'm going to put in an Epox 8KHA+ with a 1600+ XP, 512mb DDR Crucial RAM, WD 40gb HDD, CL 8x4x32 CD-RW, 48x generic Cd-rom drive, etc etc.
I'd really appreciate your input on which case I should get. Right now, I favor the Maxtop because it looks so cool. The Maxtop case listed above is fairly new, so product reviews are rare. Your help is greatly appreciated.
