    Hello all, I am upgrading some components in my computer system, but the main thing I want some opinions on is the case....right now I have a regular ATX case, but I want something that is pretty big, but in the 50$ range. I want a case that has good airflow, with at least 1 120mm fan in it...Any good suggestions..Oh also I have a very good power supply so I don't need a bundle deal..

    If you're looking for a good case, I'd go for this one. It's not huge but I've owned it and it proved to be roomy enough. It has great airflow and I think you'll be very happy with it as long as you're not looking for a "LAN party" case.

    I'd recommend a chieftec server case, matrix type like this one

    http://directron.com/amx01bld.html

    It only comes with an 80mm side, but can hold 2 80mm's in the back and an 80 or a 120 in the front, has alot of cooling potential, but you'd have to buy more, but for 47$ how bad can it be?

    I personally like how it has removable bays that actually work, and removable slots for the fans, for quick replacement, my dad has it and its awesome, especially with a side panel acryllic window, which unfortunately you have to buy seperate.

    Its a mid tower aluminum case
    473 x 205 x 522 mm, 18.61" x 8.07" x 20.54" (D x W x H)

    hope this helps
