Cheap Case, Good For Gaming?

[n18]

I've been looking at cases for 2 days, and cant find anything thats not fancy but would go well with a high-end gaming pc. The case doesnt need a power supply either.

Feel free to suggest some models :o

[clocker]

What exactly defines a "high end gaming PC"?
Any special features that you require for such an animal?

What goes in it?

[tesco]

so you want a case that is plain but good for gaming? i case doesnt affect gaming performance...

anyways check out www.xpcases.com (http://www.xpcases.com) if u live in USA they have some nice cases, but i live in canada so cant get one :(

[callum]

X-case is good if you live in the uk

it does if you paint a racing stripe on it.

I'm pretty sure you can have an ugly atx case and it wouldn't affect gaming performance

Hell yah..I got a silver one with a window..i love it :D

I&#39;m still waiting to hear what specifically would make any one case better for gaming than another case.

Does it need special handles or a heavy duty power plug, or what?

[bigdawgfoxx]

Yah...I really have no clue what the man is talking about..I think he just wants a good case..maybe with some slots for fans..haha who knows :huh:

[n18]

i dunno, maybe the amount of fans on it, room inside for expantion and air flow?

i just want a plain case with fans, alot of usb ports, ect someting nice but not fancy?

and im a noob :angry:

[bigdawgfoxx]

USB ports will be something the motherboard will offer, not the case. The case can supply FRONT USB ports though.

If you want room get at least a Mid Tower, or even a Full Tower :o haha

Good luck.

now i know why they didnt list rear usbs, that clears alot...but what about fans? should a buy a case with as many fans as i can or it doesnt matter?

would something like this be good http://www.xpcases.com/shop/item.asp?CatID=14&sku=768 or something like thishttp://www.xpcases.com/shop/item.asp?CatID=1&sku=723

The first one comes with fans and a temp thing for only 40 bux..i bet its not made very well.

The second one is nice also, and comes with 120mm fan slots which is good.

If I was you I would try to buy a case with no fans and buy the fans yourself so you know your not getting some really LOUD fans. I would buy a Chieftec Dragon and put 2 80mm fans in front and 2 in back like I have...overclocked alot and it keeps it real cool. 120mm fans are best but 80mm do fine.

Here (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=513156&sku=DRG-C-BK-UF) is a chieftec dragon that is black. I have the silver one..they are very nice i think.

Maybe he wants to look good at LAN parties, or blind the other people with cathodes so he can kill them easy.

That&#39;d be power gaming :P
