cabbot Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Im building a new rig that looks like this LITE-ON Black ATAPI/E-IDE DVD Burner Maxtor QuickView 6L100M0 100GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard eVGA 256-P2-N515-AX Geforce 7800GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 2x Crucial 512MB (1 gig) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor I need to choose a case that looks good, affordable, and has sufficient cooling.. along with a PSU powerful enough to run the comp... here are my choices for the case Im looking at the ASPIRE X-Dreamer II ATXB4KLW-BK Black Computer Case With Side Window http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811144026 then replacing the 420W PSU it comes with either one of these... ASPIRE ATX-AS520W BLACK 520W Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817148008 ---------------OR------------- Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 550W Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817103931 Is the Aspire PSU 520W enough to power it, and is the case with those 2 80MM fans good enough to keep my system from firing up? I am taking suggestions for other cases and psu. remember im not trying to go overboard price wise... use the prices i have as reference. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cchalogamer Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Is the Aspire PSU 520W enough to power it 585922[/snapback] NO better PSU is a must is the case with those 2 80MM fans good enough to keep my system from firing up? 585922[/snapback] NO the case is pretty good, actually great for the price (I have one) but you will need to add the two 80mm Intakes and a 120 in the back for it to keep cool. Ohh and cut out the fan grills, it works great for my main rig, but anyway, there are hundereds of better cases, but they all cost more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabbot Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 anyone else have input? Im thinking of just adding 1 120mm fan to the front of it... along with having the 2 80mm fans the comp comes with... please share your thoughts.
