    Hi everyone... I would appriciate, if you could give me a reply in my previouse post about "best motherboard manufacturer(s)", but, anyway, it's not about it right now...

    I'm building a new PC, that I will change/upgrade in 2 years when Windows 7 (64-bit) will come out... and the most important thing for me right now - is finding a good chassis.

    I need ATX chassis with 4 slots for optical drives and 2 slots for floppy and card reader... also I need 2 USB 2.0 ports on the front and some other stuff near it.

    I was searching the web with Google for some time, but I couldn't find any (any good) sites with good looking chassis. I need a stylish but strict chassis with no transparent window(s), that looks Platinum and costs under $100... black with white/silver lines.

    Please, if you know good chassis manufacturers and/or their sites - just give me the links... thanks.

    P.S. To simplify your search a bit, take a look on CoolerMaster's RC-332 chassis... I need something like that. Thank you very much.

    Well, CoolerMaster's Centurion 5 is a nice case and does have the features you want. I just put together a system for a client and used this case. It's around $40-50 at most US online shops (plus shipping). TigerDirect Canada has it for $60 (Canadian, about $40 $US) here, but they do ship internationally. Another company that ships internationally is eWiz, and they also have it, but for about $46 in US currency. Neither price accounts for shipping, however.

    For my BIG surprise - RC-332 does NOT support audio 5.1! :x: Too bad for me, such a nice chassis... guess I don't really like the rest of the chassises so I might search for other manufacturers.

    Got any ideas Big B? Strict, Stilysh and Black with Silver/White lines... Thanks.

    I would say that Antec case are brilliant and well built. For the requirments you need i guess the Antec Sonata III Piano Black is a good choice and its around £70 in UK so i don't know how much it is in U.S don't think its double, it dosen't work like that.

    anyways i attached a thumbnail for you to look at

    antec and cooler master both make great cases
    I myself have just ordered an RC-690

    PS. I did not order it where I posted the link from, they just have good pictures of it and theirs specs are decent also
