Overall a good case; Ive built several machines off of it for others, I like it, they like it, no complaints.

What PSU are you going to get & what kind of machine are you building with this case?

Looks like a winner to me.

But what do I know about cases, I have an Lanboy.

Thanks for the replies. I have Antec 550 Watt in my current one, will use that one. Plan to pop in MSI K7N2 Delta-L nForce2 mobo, 512-1Gig RAM (depends on price), Athlon XP 2500+ and up (depends on price), Nvidia or ATI 128MB Video Card (depends on price) and a Maxtor 80Gig 7200RPM HD w/8MB Cache. Rest will come from old machine.

What I have now...

1) MSI nForce Pro mobo
2) 512MB RAM
3) 64MB Radeon 8500 LE
4) Athlon XP 1600+
5) 80G & 20G internal, Two 20G & Three 10Gig external old SCSI drives
6) Dual booting Win2K and XP Pro
7) Firewire card

USB Bracket
9) Drive Bay Cooler
10) Creative DVD Drive
11) TDK 48X CD burner

This machine is getting slow and can't handle T2 Windows Media Version that came with the DVD. Plan to get a DVD burner later this year. BTW, my current case is a no name brand I picked up from local store for about $50.00.

The cheiftec is a decent case, but being made of steel, it is very heavy. If LANing is in your future, I would not go with this one. Otherwise it is a decent case with plenty of room inside.

no laning. I play with myself (That didn't sound right)

It's quite a nice case that offers plenty of elbow room and cooling options. The build quality can't match that of a Lian-Li, but it is still *very* good for the price. As stated before, the case is rather large and heavy. I myself have the aluminum version of the case, and that thing was pretty beefy in itself. I recently switched to a Lian-Li PC-60 so that I could attend LAN parties easier. Overall, you have made a wise choice going with the Chieftec case. This type of case just screams for modding though, and it looks pretty cool with led fans shining out the front vents. :wink:

Too bad you already ordered it, because for the same price you could have got one of these:

I guess if you don't want a window, then you got a good deal. But who doesn't want a window?? :-?

JK-All of the Chieftec cases are solid choices, got the above one myself, and love it.

Not a window man here.

Don't see well in sunlight. Half-vampire. :evil:

2 busy with crap 2 mod. :cry:
