hey which companies, that are affordable do you guys recommend for hard drives and cd drives? and also what case should i get that has good air circulation and will be greatly upgradable? but all this has to be affordable!!!
As for the case, look around on Newegg or another hardware site and find some cases you like. Then post them here and we can review them for you. Everyone's case tastes are different, so it's hard to recommend cases.
well i have a soprano and i like the case. nice screw free installation of pci/pci-e cards and drives.
i like Western Digital hard drives and lite-on/sony/LG/plextor optical drives. i mainly like lite-on because they are reasonably cheap and decent quality.
I really like the Soprano more out of those two. ThermalTake has some high quality and good looking cases. It has adequate cooling. Just note that it doesn't come with a PSU (which is a good thing; most PSU's that come in cases are horrible).
