Geez there's alot of cases out there! I'm limited to newegg.com for cases right now, so which models do you guys recommend? The sides are going to be mostly hidden, but I'd like something cool on the front.

Thanks!

Lian-Li's are beautiful.

You asked, I told.

What kind of look are you looking for?

Plasticky pre-mod with lights and stuff
OR
Simple and elegant

umm Thermaltake Tsnami... or any other Tt case with dual 120's. Yes i know its Tt but they make some excelent cases in my opinion smile.gif

Preferably something in the $50.00 range...and looks cool (lights) but not too "plasticky". smile.gif

Maybe something with an lcd display with temp!

50 dollar range will only get you tacky plastic crap or white
Fireonice
yeah it will more than likly... what kind of system you putting in this case?

Check out this Aspire case.
It's nothing incredibly special, but it seems like it would fit your description.

how about the x-dreamer II or sunbeam samurai? I have the x-dreamer and HATE i. But it was admittedly OK for a budget case. try the samurai. on sale at xoxide for 40 bucks. Ive seen some positive reviews. It may look a bit too plasticky, though.

edit: or you can spend just a tad more and go for a wonderful dual 120mm, 3 80mm transformer:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811119077 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811119075 would be my suggestion for your price range. I have built two systems in the Cavalier (the second case) and can tell you it is very nice. The front panel is all aluminum which is quite nice for a $55 case.

Go with a thermaltake or a raidmax. Either or their both quality cases.

I got one of these real nice case just have to make sure to clean the dust out of the front covers every once in a while because when they get dusty whole case looks ugly.

NZXT cases look cool, if you want lights, and temp probes, get the NXZT Nemesis Elite, but they are $120, the Guardian series is only $60 though, but not as cool, and no temps

Thanks for all the input everyone. I considered the centurion for a long while, always been a coolermaster fan... I've decided on the Thermaltake Armor Case though, I figured, plenty of air, big, looks awesome, plenty of expanding room... Not exactly light, but not everything's perfect...
