    ^top three cases are in stock and on sale. good cases for the sale price, but i wouldn't pay full-sticker for a cooler master brand.

    post back if you need further assistance.

      Those coolermaster cases are very nice, especially the middle one.
      But why is the case with the window in the side considerably cheaper than the other tow. I thought it would actually be the other way round if anything.

        Hmmm...yeah you'd think that.

        I just don't know. They have weird, weird sales. I don't ask questions, I just order when they have good prices. Their prices are always fairly competitive, and their sales/clearances on new products are usually much better than the 'egg.

        Edit--wait a sec, the $34.99 prices are after a $15 rebate. They're all the same price out the door. Still, a pretty good deal for a decent case.

              That case just looks tacky and stupid. Like the dragon or transformers one some 11 year olds have.

                    Re: cases

                    Structurally, the xion looks sound: removable mobo tray, front, side, rear 120mm fans (should be pretty quiet if you can hook them to your MOBO and tame the voltage w/speedfan), plenty of drive bays.

                    It isn't the ugliest case I've every seen, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. $65 dollars minus a $15 plus waiting three months for your $15 to arrive seems a tad steep. Not "Best Buy" ripoff steep, but still a tad steep.

                      Re: cases

                      I dont know how cheap they are, but what about an Antec Nine Hundred like i got? Thats cool.

                      Oh, apparently its a tad more expensive.

                      Another budget case worth looking at is the Jeantech Phong II. Dont be put off by the name, its the budget case of choice in Custom PC magazine!

                        Re: cases

                        Go with the full tower case!!! It has more space and better air flow to vent heat from your computer components and keep them happy!!!

                        The more things are compacted in the smaller cases, the more everything heats up which can cause components to have problems or fail!!!

                        Just my 2 cents.
