| 363178 | 2005-06-11 16:42:00 | This is what I've narrowed my search down to, as you can see I'm being more careful with the more . . . important . . . parts of my soon-to-be gaming pc . Some feedback about this would be helpful, and I would like to know about preferences and past experiences with these components if you have or had it .

(I haven't decided whether it's better to get the keyboard/mouse combo or get them by themselves) Nice . But put it back to the Tsunami case and use an enermax PSU . |

| 363183 | 2005-07-02 00:40:00 | Nice. But put it back to the Tsunami case and use an enermax PSU. I agree about the PSU, but I like Themaltake's latest case better than the tsunami case. I think its called the Kandalf. Which one does everyone else like (they are both very good cases)? |

Which one does everyone else like (they are both very good cases)? Kandalf - Looks like a beetle. The Soprano is OK. I also like the Coolermaster Wavemaster. |

Which one does everyone else like (they are both very good cases)? Kandalf looks alright but, Cons: * Might be heavy for some * Tool-less PCI bracket won't allow the use of 2 slot video cards * Front door unlatches easily ...no SLI then? :eek: |
