case suggestions

Post by LTrain »

Fellas:

I'm looking for a nice-looking case, but pretty standard on the outside. No windows, etc. I'd like to do all that myself. I'd prefer no PSU, since I already have one, too. Aluminum is nice, but cost is a consideration. I'd also like it to be a mid-tower, since I already have two full towers. Any other nice feature is a bonus. If such a beast exists, I would love to hear about it. Thanks!

Cheiftec makes some aluminum mid-towers that are nicely priced without a PSU. Newegg used to sell the non-windowed Dragon series but not anymore. They do have another series that looks a little different. Also, Antec sells a case that is identical to the Cheiftec Dragon but more expensive.
