to buy:
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=11-124-107&depa=0 **
http://www.coolerexpress.com/enatsechno.html
http://www.topmicrousa.com/cs10182sa.html
**just *disappears* every so often, not "out of stock", the page just gets smited by the newegg gods.
pros:
appears to be well build
plenty of room inside
looks like good airflow
has usb/firewire/audio/video on top of the case (my current comp is on the floor)
under $100
cons:
no removiable mobo tray, but its roomy...
weighs a ton, but i dont plan on moving it ever (no lan partys, etc)
also, from the 2nd place under "to buy", for $20, a side window pannel can be bought.
if i do get this, i'll be getting the CS-10182-SA, the all silver version.
OR
the lian li pc-65

http://store.yahoo.com/pcgate/lipc65usbca.html
pros:
its a lian li
removable mobo tray
case window
cons:
no firewire/audio/video in the front (use the firewire port with my camera, wont be that big of a problem reaching behind the case)
over $100
smaller then the enermax
thats all the information that i've gathered by looking around at the two cases. im leaning slightly towards the enermax, because it is slightly cheaper, but it doesnt have the recognition as the lian li does, so i'm not really sure about it.
also, i'd like to stay in the $80-110 range, so no gettin the lian li pc-V2000 thing for like 3x the price as either of these...
anyone have anything (experience, etc) to help sway me either way?
for info on whats going INSIDE the case, check out the "the system i want" link in my sig, it tells all. its a bit messy as of this post, caus i kinda stopped durring the middle of an update, and just uploaded it. :rolleyes:
