puntoMX Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-171-039&depa=1http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-156-169&depa=1http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-192-013&depa=1(I like this one bc of the cooling, you can use a nice 12cm fan)Any way, this is just one shop on internet. I like this shop bc they have a lot of stuff for nice prices and not to forget it´s easy to find and look at products (nice pictures from mutiple vieuws).Just brouwse around there... if you find some thing then post it, we will take a look at it and tell you what the cons and pros are PS, there cases start with 17 US$ or some thing...

ripken204 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 wow how bad r these cases if they come with a power supply and are less than 40$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Not bad, most of them build out of 0.7mm steel and a 300W (they say it can handle 400W some times ) power supply.If you want more then look at 60 US$ range cases, they are build out of 0.8mm steel and 350W power supplies that are not that bad.90 US$ range, nice 1mm steel or aluminium with 400W power supplies So, it’s just like this, power and quality comes with a price. If you don’t want to pay more then 30 US$ then the links I gave are nice options; No fancy colours, no window, no other Christmas looks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, this is your first time that you build your own computer?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I built a computer before,it was a pentium 2 400mhz with 128mb of ram and right now i am upgrading it to a pentium 3 650mhz,and it been years since i touched that computer,so i want to re-fresh my memmory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I was just wondering that.It will be easy to upgrade from a PII to a PIII, they are similar and don’t require special things like different power supply, extra ventilation. It will be like rebuilding your PII system again. You will find a few new connectors on that new power supply, just don’t use them, they are for P4 and newer AMD systems .You will have enough power for your PIII and 4 hard drives by way of speaking, famer past you a nice link for telling witch power supply will suit your needs. Also he knows how to build computers, like I do, buy a case without a power supply and by a separate power supply that suits. Only problem is that it will be way more then 30 US$ .
