ok well i need to buy a new PC case and I dont know anything about them. I like the looks of this case: http://store.yahoo.com/aaronix/noname4.html , but this case: http://store.yahoo.com/aaronix/atxtowcomcas1.html appears to have more features.

What do you guys think? Is the first case any good? Thanks a lot for your help!!

out of the 2 I would buy this case and a good power supply to go with it, it doent say enough about the PSU on the other (that i noticed) but that may depend on what you are going to fill it with, and with a GOOD twin fan PSU there is no need for case fans

looks cheap and cheerful but what do you want for 38 dollars

The case for one of my systems is fantastic... its a Cheiftec Dragon (far left here: http://www.chieftec.com/products/dragon/dragon.htm) and has every feature you could wish for in a case :)

May be a bit expensive for some but believe me its worth every penny/cent. It has removable hard drive caddy things with inbuilt fan slots to cool HD's, 4 fan slots around the case, ultra cool temperatures, looks great, sliding bay bits, lockable, ...etc

*gets under desk and removes the side panel by pulling the lever* :)

Right in mine, it *should* fit 4 CDROM's in without touching the mobo (A-bit KT7A) but it'll be close :) I have one of the smaller ones with 4 5 1/4 inch bays... You might be better going for a taller tower just to make sure with 6 or more bays.

As for where to buy, I don't know. Try a look around overclocking websites and performace computer equipment shops.

Hope this helps :)
