I use the Thermaltake Big Typhoon. Works good, but it's huge.

I've always used and loved. It's silent and does a great job cooling.

I have that same one.  I took snypers advice and got it, and I could not be happier.  Works great, and really keeps my Q6600 cool.  Also has a nice blue LED in it.

Guys, I have decided to buy a case as I have everything else to just build a complete new system and keep this one for my daughter.  What do you guys think of this case?

If you don't like it, let me know which one's you do. 

[TE_Taylormade]

Actually,
 
I have narrowed it down to the above mentioned one and this one.

thats a sweet case..... i have vista 64, and i have no problems.... i also have 4 gb ram, and a quad core board..... the thing with the case is to make sure everything will fit....

[Hitman Smurf]

Both great cases taylor.

[snyper133]

I have the later case. Although that one has some fixed features aka the doors have better magnets. Be careful with the tool less pci slots though. I found using screws was still better.


P.S. Red fans look sick in this case.

The board came doa thats not my fault. although it might have had something to do with how you messed up putting the heatsink on.

The duo i told you to get is a 1333fsb which means its going to have a faster throughput then the quad. Also the quad isnt fully supported as of yet and you told me all you were going to be doing is playing tf2 and css.

The case i told you to get was a very good case and cheap. The position of the fans allows for alot of cooling.

After market heatsink is going to be needed unless he wants to overclock in which case he should get the thermalright 120 extreme.

I am sry i wasnt here yesterday i was out with my dad shopping.

If you disagree with me or think i did something wrong get the full detailed list of what all he got.

[TE_Taylormade]

MDK,


    I nor anyone else in here has said or implied that you did anything wrong.  I am sure I would have been more than happy with the build you did for me, and it's noone's fault that the board came with a faulty north bridge. The tech from ASUS told me that he would not buy that board because they field calls all day long about problems with it, of which you and I had no idea and that he would upgrade to the Striker II.   I have been doing some research online and have decided to go with the Quad core, only because I will have the available functionality out of it when the time arises.  You haven't been around the last 2 days for me to get some information from so I just posted a forum about it and asked for other opinions.  I hope I didn't offend you because that wasnt the intent.  You have been very helpful and I appreciate that.  Actually, the build you did for me would have saved me some $, but money is not an issue for me so I decided to go with a full tower case so I had plenty of room, especially reading the comments about the hs I ordered and people saying it was hard to install in a lot of midtower cases.  So, thanks for everyone'e help and thank you MDK for getting me started.

That being said, why did you break his machine, MDK?!?
