lost
so looking for the mobo here, http://forums.overclockersclub.com/?showtopic=31662 and thought i'd check up on the case as well. i'm between 2 cases right now, looking for something yellow (why? i have nothing in my room thats yellow, so it might be a nice change)
1) http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc....-125-441&DEPA=1 for $53
2) http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...5234&CatId=1520 for 40
like for the mobos, on a tight budget, 1 has the usb ports in the front which seems great for my digi cam, and a joystick for gaming plus the yellow looks nicer, 2 seems like the same thing, but i dont see a usb for the front. but do i really wanna dump an extra $13 on a case which has a nicer paintjob and usb in the front? u guys know any sites where i can find another case along that line? what do u guys think? well opinions welcomed smile.gif

also was wondering, will i need a 400 or 500w powersupply? i do plan on overclocking (only in the winter, until i can fork over 200 for a nice liquid cooling system)

well to tell you the truth - they are both the same exact case - made by antec - forget what you see on the websites - antec makes the design for both those cases - then sells them to other would-be case retailers - chieftec is another "antec" knock off - and so is the DRAGON cases

the newegg case is a HIGH gloss yellow enamel where as the tigerdirect case is a gloss enamel that has a nicely premod'd window - i used to hang out at the tigerdirect store in naperville and have seen just about every case that tigerdirect sells - i would go with the 39.99 case happy.gif

btw - those 2 "bonus" fans are terribly loud in that new egg case---- if you look real close - the case chassis are EXACTLY the same plus you are getting a professional window




here - this is HELLA YELLOW!!!

Haha.. that kitty case is funny laugh.gif
Both of the cases you linked to are nice, you probably couldn't do much better for the money. Even though the colours look different in the pictures, I am pretty sure they would be the same colour as they are manufactured by the same company I believe.

If you plan on overclocking, you will want a decent quality powersupply 400w +. Enermax is a good brand to look at.
