JPeitz Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Ok so I am finallizing a new build (it won't be happening until AM2 is realeased, I want to see how it performs, and untill I have enough money for a 7900GTX) and I need a case. I really really really want a Chenbro Gaming Bomb II, I don't know if I'll be able to find one or not. I like Lian Li's but I don't know what one I would get. I have also looked at Cooler Masters, SilverStone's, and Thermaltake's. I never have really been a Thermaltake fan, I don't know why but I haven't. I am looking for something nice, but I don't really want flashy (like tons of lights and crazy looks). I want something sleek and beautiful, yet functional with nice cooling and sound (as in not much sound along with heat). I am looking for something in the $100-$200 range, I wouldn't mind going higher if need be. Also thanks to all the people that replied to my last post, I couldn't find it to post replies, I havn't been on for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPeitz Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 *Update* These are some of the Lian Li cases I am looking at, I am woundering about these or comparable: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811112058 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811112102 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811112040 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

p0tter Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Id stay away from Thermaltake, the Saprano and Tsunami I worked "felt cheap" I worked on a bunch of Antec and overall they make good qaulity cases. Light and a tad flimsy (cause its extremely light), but overall a nice case. Antec Super Lanboy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811129145 Tall and roomy, good looking and working case w/ window Antec P160 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811129173 Ive owned both and can say they were not regrets, great airflow with 120mm intakes and exhausts. superboytt: What dont you like about the Ammo ?

supraboytt Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 superboytt: What dont you like about the Ammo ? 1) side covers dont have hinges, difficult to remove 2) front panel difficult to open and plastic bolts holding it onto the chasis are easy to break 3) computer resets when I close/open the reset button lid 4) cheap screws, front fan wont come off because I took the fan off once and ruined the threads on the screws in the front. I had to cut the whole damn thing off with a dremel. 5)noise reduction is poor 6) doesnt come with back fan 7) power/reset button plate is loose I'll stop but I could go on. However, for a $70 case, its pretty sturdy and doesnt feel too cheap. In hindsight, I should have bought the lian li with the fish... So pietz any of our suggestions tickle your fancy?
