Case dilemma

[Nannerb]

Im really close to getting all the components for building my own computer. One of the things left to decide is what case I will have.

The following two caught my eye:

They both look good(to me), got good reviews, and have good prices.

Thermaltake SViking

&
Aspire X Gear

Any other reccomendations? I looking to keep the price between 40-70 dollars, possibly 80 max.



And will be getting a new power supply nomatter what case/

well ok, they're both made out of steel so itll be heavy to start. The aspire X Gear comes with a 430W Powersupply and the Thermaltake SViking does not. me personally i would get the thermaltake tsnumai. it just went down in price from 110, its 99 at newegg now. as for PSU's i'd go with a OCZ but i can't say the wattage because i don't know your system specs. PM me if youve got any questions.

EDIT: sure they have good reviews/prices but you've gotta look closely into the specs like the size and amount of fans.

Here are a few to look at. All but the Super Lanboy have PSUs, but they are Antec, so you won't have to get a different one.

Only one of them falls within your stated price range, but the saving you'll get by not having to get a PSU should make a difference in your budget, eh?

Personally, I really favor the last one. Check out its stats and you'll see why...
