Ok Im looking for a case, I would really rather not got over 100 bucks, but I need it to be quality, with a side window, AND it has to be able to allow BIGGER/THICKER fans like the vantec tornado, and stuff, my old antec soho case had those like snap in fan things, and the fans were to thick,

Also it needs to be pretty big and roomy inside, and have really good airflow

I'd rather not go acrylic, and It needs to be of high quality, but not like lian-li quality, A removable mobo tray is nice, but not needed

oh and i dont need a psu. So ya know

thx keeptyping.gif

I am in love with my case - the sunbeam transformer. Cheap, quality, and kewl. It fits your criteria.

I like my thermal take soprano. Dunno about the tornadoes but it is big and its good quality. It dosent have a mobo tray though.

good airflow? removable mobo tray not a necessity?
cooler master centurion series. the whole front is mesh with a foam insert for airflow.

Centurion gets my vote too. Ideally I'd go for the CM Stacker, but the price is a little higher wink.gif

Hmm the sunbeam seems nice, hey marty, do vantec tornado's fit in that case?

I am selling a huge tower on eBay right now... maybe it interests you. Many people have modded this one to accept huge fans in front.

Also, see my older post about it in the stuff for sale section, here:

yes, they do. The only places that use brackets are the 120mm fan spots. THe top 80mm is in the center and will not be obstructed my any PSU. There is a front 120mm intake, rear 120mm exhaust, 2 side 80mm intakes, and a top 80mm exhaust. Great airflow, great case.

i played with that sunbeam case, its not the best looking (front panel ugh) but good price and has nice room. and the included fans are a plus.
