Hey all. I'm graduating soon and my parents and grandparents are giving me a ton of money for a new computer. I've been looking for a sweet case and I feel like I've seen every case out there twice, but I still haven't found one I loved. The best ones I've seen for me are the CM Praetorian (Original, the 730 is ok though) and the CM Elite 331.
Requirements:
Not more than $150-180.
Black.
Not reversed (like the Lian-Li) or inverted (like another popular case out that I forget).
PSU at the top.
No weird attachments for the video card, or elaborate fan setups on the side of the case, though a normal 80-140mm fan that is connected to the side of the case and just a grill would be ok.
A generally plain look, inside and out, like the old Praetorian.
Removable MB tray.
No USB/Firewire/Etc on the top, a la the new Praetorian 730. Front is fine.
Bonuses (not required):
No window.
At minimum, 120mm fan in the front and in the back.
Thumb screws on the back, or a "tool-less" design.
I guess the deal is... I LOVE the old Praetorian, but I would prefer it with a 120mm in the front, one in the back, and one on top (exhaust) or on the side (intake).
All suggestions are appreciated and I'll look em all up (even if I already seen em before, I can forget). Thanks a lot .
