    Post Case recomendations

    Can anyone recomend a good case manufacturer in the UK. Im looking for something that looks nice, preferably with loads of fans with it(on sides and top etc). Also what is a top brand power supply? Cheers

    All cases seem to be made in the far east at the minute. For a UK-based vendor, try <a href="http://www.overclockers.co.uk" target="_blank">Overclockers</a>. You can tell the quality of a PSU by the quality of the case IMO. Take a look at the recommended list on <a href="http://www.amd.com" target="_blank">AMD's website</a> any of these shoud be decent makes.
    I'm in charge and I say we blow it up

    I like my Chieftec. From what I hear they make them for a lot of other companies that slap their name on it.

    I<ve got an Antec SX1030 case. It' reallu nice qulity and come with 4 standard fan emplacements. It's real easy to mod the case in front of the mobo, on top of the case and more. A downside is that the case is pretty heavy <a href="http://www.antec-inc.com/enclosu.html" target="_blank">Antec Cases</a>
    If it aint broken dont fix it..I should realy start doing that

    I just about need a back brace to lift mine, but it really is a nice case. Very "tech friendly" with removable drive caddies and easy access to everything not to mention enough fan mounting locations to cool down overclocked AMDs.

    I like <a href="http://www.in-win.com" target="_blank">Inwin</a> cases. The S500 is what I used in my last build.
