I am using a the new gigabyte motherboards, P55-UD6, the ones that reduce heat. I am using this for gaming. my processor is Intel i7 either the 860 or 870. I want a considerable amount of fans on it. Liquid cooling system compatible. Doesn't have to come with one just has to be able to be upgraded should i ever need to.
I am looking for one with a clear side panel and i would like it to look cool. I only need 2-4 USB ports on the front and the standard audio jacks. I don't need an unnecessarly huge case just one that fits atx motherboards and room for 2 disk drives and 1 or 2 hard drives.
Black, silver, white, and other similar colors.
$150 or less.What is a good case for a custom gaming computer?
the 1st one, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/鈥?/a>
is ';cool'; with the side panel and all that. It has quite a bit of external drive space... not sure if u would actually need it but you can always expand with it so its probably good but the 3.5 is just a empty space unless you plan to fill it with a floppy drive or put a hard drive in it with the cover
Basic Specs:
External 5.25'; Drive Bays: 5
External 3.5'; Drive Bays:2
Internal 3.5'; Drive Bays: 5
Expansion Slots: 7
Front USB Ports: 2
Front FireWire Ports: 1
Front Audio Ports: 1
120mm Fans Included: 3
the Second one is similiar to the 1st but doesnt have the front connections on it Also has 1 less 3.5 External and 1 less 5.25 external but the 3.5 wont do any good unless your using a Floppy drive or if you plan to put a hard drive there with a face cover on it
while The 3rd one, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/鈥?/a>
Doesnt have the cool looking see through part but if your good with tools you can simply put a square hole in the side and then mount a clear hard plastic behind the hole. shouldn't be to hard...
Basic Specs:
External 5.25'; Drive Bays: 5
External 3.5'; Drive Bays: 1
Internal 3.5'; Drive Bays: 5
Expansion Slots: 7
80mm Fans Included: 2
120mm Fans Included: 3
