I was looking at some cases today during Drafting class. i found some i like, and this one
>> http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php? ... cture=Xion
I like this one cause it looks like it would be easy to throw a few fans on the side. if i do end up getting it i'm going to bring it to school and throw the clear(looks like plexy glass) window on the CNC Mill, drill a few holes for mounts and grills for maybe 4 fans. on top of the case there should be some room for a fan, which i will also mod on the CNC Mill. Of course i couldnt just buy it, cause i need some BBA and regulars to tell me what you think before i do so. it will probably be a X-mas Present.
im hoping to get a job long before christmas, so ill most likely be getting an 8800 for it. but thats not the subject quite yet.
NOTE: i wont be using that Power supply so just ignore it.

I don't personally like it, partially because of the styling, the lighting at the front (which if they used decent leds, will get annoying), and that fact that it's steel. Whether or not an 8800gtx/ultra will fit I don't know, but so long as you've got a little backbone and a dremel/sawsall/plasma cutter you can make any thing fit.
Other then that, I'm weary about plastic front pieces, especially those with doors.
Just me though.

Looks like a cheaply made case to me....don't make the same mistake I made. Don't be afraid to throw a good 120 bucks at a case. It's worth it in the end.

LOL@120 buck for a case. I bought one off new egg for 15 bucks. It doesn't have any fancy windows or anything but it had room for a nice 120mm fan on the side that cools it WAY down. It hold my parts and thats all I need.

you guys can direct me to a case? one that would have a descent amount of space (enough for an 8800 or 2 in time) and looks cool. air flow doesnt matter a whole lot cause i'll be adding 4 intake fans most likely, and an exaust on the top.

I've been looking really long and hard at this one:

Lots of fans, looks like it'll be good at keeping the system nice and cool. The real selling point is the power/reset buttons being on TOP of the case (where my son can't reach it! ;)

I think Hugh was posted the best case so far. I'd go with that one.

that is a nice very nice case. if it came with 4 case fans on the side i would deffinetly go for that one
but i think i like the NZXT Zero the best.
