I currently own the Enermax case. I like the case alot. It comes with a 350W Enermax PS. It has room for 5 80mm fans. I installed 5 of the neon blue fans and added a Blue Cathode tube. I then installed the Thermaltake Cool Mod 9 Fan on the processor to give it a blue light. I am using 2 hard drives, DVD-ROM drive, CD-Burner, Athlon 2400+, Radeon 9700 Pro in the case. The PS still pumps out enuff to run all of this. I recommend it. I'll take a picture of it and post it here for you.

hmm, i think the one i was gonna get is only a 330W psu, but i only have 1 HD, and my mobo is not 8x AGP...

My case is sorta like the case that you posted a link for. Same basic design, cept I don't have the hard drive rack/cage like the one you posted does.
Got pics in my sig if you're interested

whta brand is it?

[IronSerif]

I think it's a generic brand, I see it offered at a lot of retailers, and they just call it whatever, lol

o, DOA said the enermax case is poopy, like, "i felt like if i sneezed it would bend the case. the plastic window didnt fit right and felt cheap and brittle (not flexible)"

[IronSerif]

The aluminum is flimsier than what I have experienced with many other cases.

Although, I remove my side panel (the one with the window) on a daily basis, and I haven't had any bad experiences with it so far.

**sigh** does anyone here have a gr8 case that costs under $130, comes with a power supply, and is smaller than 18 inches (height)? cuz thats what im looking for, and if that enermax case is no good then i dont really want to waste my money on it, but ive just about given up on my search for a case

Black Chieftec/Antec case with an Enermax Whisper PSU thats what I have and I love. Its cheap too.

ahhh gotcha, any width restrictions?

[shagnscoob]

not really, but horizontal cases are out of the question, but other than that i doubt any case is almost 15 inches wide

I am heading to bed, but I will look and post what I find in the morning.

thanks

Well if you didn't want the chieftec/antec type of case...I would highly recommend a Lian-Li. Very high quality cases, a lil more expensive, but it's totally worth it.

Check'em out man!

[shagnscoob]

those are way over my price range, lol, except that lian li knockoff beantech igloo3, its only $82... i could go for that
