Hi all, this is the case that Im planing on puchasing for my system:http://www.pcclub.com/product_detail.cfm?itemno=A1320741#what do you all think....im also considering getting instead:http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-129-124&depa=1with:http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-103-920&depa=1My system will go as follows:ASUS K8N-E Deluxe moboAMD 64bit 3400Geforce 6800GT Video Card1gig DDR400 RAM120gig Western Digital 8mb buffer 7200 HDWhat do you think about the first case compared to the second selection?Thanks,Bill

Hi Bill,The first case looks nice, but I would have a couple of concerns. First, how is the air circulation inside. Hard to tell from the pics but I'd want to know more. And there is almost no info on the PSU.Cases are mostly a matter of taste. But make sure that whatever you buy has good circulation. Fans in the front to move air in, and fans in the back (and/or top) to move air out. Hard to tell from the pics of the Antec case whether there are fans in the front (specs don't mention them), but it looks like you could fit a couple of 80mm in there. The Antec looks roomy (easy to work in).The PSU is probably one of the most overlooked components in a computer. Many folks don't hestitate to plunk down $20-$30 on a cheap PSU... and then wonder why they have problems. The Antec PSU you linked to looks pretty good. Power is OK (the most important rails to look are the +5V and +12V... and they look OK).I just replaced an Antec 430W Truepower (not any problems with it over the past year I've used it. Very nice PSU) today with this: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/pro...f0a17819455bb2f Installed it a couple hours ago, and of course called up MBM to check what the PSU was doing. All voltages were at or slightly above spec, but most importantly MBM showed extremely little fluctuation. It's quite impressive. The modular design makes cabling a case much eaier and neater too.Hope this helps,Greg

Thank for the reply, the rig at home has 4 fans that I can trasfer over to the ANTEC case if I decide on purchasing it.., odds are Im going to purchase the ANTEC case and ANTEC PS.Thanks,Bill

wow Greg..that PS u gave the link to looks amazing :D :-eekreally amazing technique :9dario

I become more impressed with as I use it, Dario. It's very quiet, fit and finish is somehting you'd like to display rather than stick away in the nether reaches of a computer case, and it makes almost no heat (something that concerned me before buying).Best of all is it's power delivery. It is so smooth! I've never seen anything like it (the Antec was good, and I also own an Enermax in my wife's case that is top notch, but the Ultra simply leaves even top rated PSU's like those in the dust). All rails are easily within spec, and the power hardly ever fluctuates (using MBM to watch what it's doing). Smooth is the rule!As a bonus, I've been able to increase my overclock slightly since installing it. I had my system as far as it would go and still be stable before, but now I've added couple more Mhz to the FSB and I'm still testing for more.It's quite a bargain for the price.Greg
