Is this case good. I've read mixed reviews. One place hated it because the newage geforce card is so long it restricts airflow. I have that problem with my present case, but it isnt a big deal, but im also running a p3. Soon i will have an amd 2500, so should i get the antec performace 2, but for way more money?

if money is an issue than go with a good antec server case they are cheap like 60 or 70 and usually come with a nice 400 w ps but the lanboy is really designed with the lan party in mind.

I'm with Justinal. The SX835 is well priced right now and it has good airflow. wink.gif

I just got my lanboy and love it. Im not running the most recent of configs, but I should be starting up work outside of school/sports, so cash flow for parts should be coming in soon. Anyways the case rocks I go to a lan at least every other weekend and having something other than steel cheiftech server case is nice.
Meh!
Id look at the antec 1080 amg..Was around like 105 last time I looked and it has a 430 watt psu..

I can personally say I have used the Lanboy and 1080. I was nothing but UNimpressed with the lanboy..It didn't cool for shita. I didn't really like it and it was too small...I was going to get a new case and ps so I just got the 1080..The 1080 is great and they have tons of modding potential...

Aluminum cases are great, but in some cases can make your system seem alittle louder than normal but whatever heh
I currently have a SkyHawk aluminum case (my main system)

alluminum or steel is not going to change the cooling one bit case air flow more than anything helps i used to cheiftec cases to test this out one stell the othet alu and there was no temp diff at all sure alu does dissapte heat better than steel but a case is not made to dissapte heat
