Hey, my friend is looking for an awesome case to put his sweet rig in. He wants a full tower, probably atleast 4 external 5-1/2 bays, atleast 300 watt PS. We were checkin out this case from this review, http://www.thetechzone.com/reviews/case/amk/pc20/
Looks like a sweet case to me. Anyone know where to get this in the US without paying outrageous shipping. Also where do you get the 330 Ennermax PS. Be really cool to get this case w/that PS and maybe some fans too...

Thanks for any help

Do yourself and your friend a favor before you buy anything check out hte Antec SX830 or SX1030. I can't say enough good about these cases they are very well made have great cooling and are very resaonably priced. Oh and by the way the pictures on the web do not do the case justice they are much better looking in real life than the pictures make them out to be.

And yet another shot!
These are pricey but beautiful cases.

If he wants a BIG case, he can buy mine

I have an addtronics 7896-A. <a href="http://www.thetechzone.com/reviews/case ... index.html" target="_NEW">TheTechZone</a> did a review of it also. It's a beautiful case inside and out, but it's just more than I need. If he plans on needing more than four 5.5 drive bays, this would be the one to get

Here's an article I found over at <a href="http://www.2cooltek.com/7896.html" target="_NEW">2cooltek.com</a> giving some mods to it. <a href="http://www.targetpc.com/hardware/cases/addtronics_7896/" target="_NEW">Here</a> is yet another review too

Like I said, good case, just too much for me anymore.

Hey, I like the those flaps come out to slow it down on landing.

I also will cosign the Addtronics. I have the 6896A. It only has three big bays but it is all I need. They also make them with more. This case kicks some serious ass! Cooling up the yang yang, very user friendly, and looks great. From the time I first opened the box, I was smiling ear to ear and still am. I just can't see any case beating it. As already stated above about another case, the pictures on this case also do not even come close to doing it justice.

I'd have to go with hammer's suggestion - coolermaster ATC-200. This thing is running cool and quiet (considering there's 4 80mm YS case fans) - room temp while running sandra2001 loop. I've been looking into a fan speed/temp controller the past few days. Anyone interested might want to check out http://www.controlres.com

I recommend the Addtronics 7896a as well. I own one myself and I love it. Mine is modified a little so it's just right.
