    well i am planning on building a computer this winter, and i have just about everything picked out and saved in a wish list on newegg, but i am having a hard time deciding on what case i want to use, the one i am leaning towards is this one...

    http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811144205

    it has a lcd display for temp and two dials, one from hot air pushed out and one for cold air pulled in. has anyone on here had any experience with these and are they worth the extra money so everything stays cool.

      I have no experience with that case, but the only computer case I would and have bought are Antecs.

        It looks bad ass but, I'll bet its a noisy fucker. It's got soo much air movemen that you'd better put a Tial Wg on it.

            Decent case. I used to have it and when I receieved it, 1 knob was broke, a fan inside didnt work, and the front had a crack in it.

            So either A. you get lucky and UPS people dont throw it around or B. Something will be wrong with it ><

                    out there took my words, lol, why not go to BestBuy and get the Antec Sonata? has a huge 120 fan in the top, but its not all that noisy, all the fans are switched you can select from: off, hi, or low. and it is built like a brick shithouse. i think it is like 140 w/o a power supply. but, if you already have a supply than it is no biggie.

                      I like the case that I bought this fall when I built mine. It's only a mid-tower so it may be smaller that what you want if you're lookin for a full.

                        ok... are you trying to waste money on flashy stuff? or do you want something that will work and will keep your things cool? does your machine have 4-6 hard-drives in addition to your gpu and optical drive, and thus, a lot more heat creation than my pc? if your answer is yes, consider a case with much higher airflow capabilities; if not, buy the sonata or the nsk.
                        wow, i just looked, the apevia is $130 without a psu? don't be stupid
                        i have the slightly older sonata II design
