i think the chieftec better
it has some great modding potiental
they have loads of room
and lots of fan slots

but i would recommand getting that case from another dealer
tigerdirect isn't the greatest

I would get the chieftec and a psu of your own choosing. The other case looks like an enermax case with a different front, not that its a bad thing but i think you will have more room in the chieftec. foldon.gif

After reading what you guys posted i dont want to be the loser and post what I think is the cooler case....

cheiftec/antec cases are great mod'n cases as like said before - they offer LOTS of room !!! mid towers kinda suck for modin cause you run out of room to put wires and stuff real fast - especially if you are running more than 2 harddrives and 2 cdroms!!! cable management is pretty rough in small cases - but on the other hand - those antec/cheiftec cases are getting a little "boring" along the lines of originality and design uniqueness

as for tiger direct being no good, well ive built MANY computers using them and havnt had a single problem!!! but thats going to the store in naperville illinois and not buing online..... never bought anything online so i wouldnt be a very acurate judge on if their online buying is any good :S

what's wrong with tigerdirect? i've ordered many many parts from them and never had an issue, except my mainboard, which is an asus, and we've had some issues with asus boards before.... they were from another store before. so i'm just guessing asus boards suck. or we are attracted to bad ones. sad.gif

asus

I'd really look into some different cases because the chieftec dragon might be great, but it is also an older case. That sidewinder is a crazy pre-mod which doesnt leave you much headroom for your own modding.
