Cases
I am looking at getting a new case, my current Antec case has done me well, but it is time for some new metal.

One of the big factors I am looking for is front mounted USB and Audio. Other than that I am open.

So suggestions - what have you guys been buying?

I like Antec because I know the power supply is going to last for the duration of the upgrade/build. Many others put cheap PS units in their cases.

However, if you are going to get a separate case and PS then it comes down to features and personal preference. Dutch mentioned his new case has a slide out tray. Things like that make it easier to tinker with.

I plan on taking my Antec PS with me to the new case unless I end up with an Antec

I use
http://www.xoxide.com/aspire-x-navig...ack-black.html

thats what I got from them and its still going. doesnt have audio in front but it has 1 firewire and 2 usb in front as well as fan control with temp gauge that is quite accurate. mine shows the cpu temp 2 degrees off what my mb program shows. oh and its steel not aluminum so its not that exact one but it looks exactly like it. I cant find the one I got for my now sons computer. that was made out of aluminum and has 2 usb that are covered in front as well. so I have gotten 2 cases from them without ps's. front cover locks if you want it to which will come in handly when I try to sell my house .

First, don't get the STEEL metal one, get the aluminum metal one... they run cooler. Most cases today are like this but get one that has slide out trays on it... makes life for us build your own's alot easier when upgrading.

(edited for the technical )
