| 520966 | 2007-01-31 02:32:00 | Hi all I am thinking about ditching my tower case and replacing it with a desktop case. Requirements would be: Quiet with a good reliable PSU Full size with plenty of room for expansion (so I can transfer my current rig into it) Looks good Thats about it. Oh...and good price :D Does anyone have any suggestion or experiences to pass on to me before I seriously look at what's available? Cheers. |

| 520967 | 2007-01-31 04:41:00 | How many PCI / E devices are u using, as a desktop case may not have enough slots, well not as much as a tower. And usually desktop cases don't have that many front bays either. Or space for more than 1 hdd. |

| 520968 | 2007-01-31 04:50:00 | PCI/E would max at 5 and 1 x optical drive and 3 x hard drives to transplant. There are desktop cases which cover this - was hoping someone here may have had experience with some. Ta. |

| 520969 | 2007-01-31 04:53:00 | Any case made to the ATX spec will have sufficient expansion slots for PCI / E devices, thats the whole point of the ATX spec ;) Antec make some nice cases, they have a few desktops in their range. A nice bonus is that the standard PSU is pretty good quality. Its more difficult to cool desktop cases, and there might not be enough room for your 3 harddrives. |

| 520971 | 2007-01-31 09:02:00 | Bout $100 more than I want to spend :xmouth: | Tukapa (62) | ||
| 520972 | 2007-01-31 09:09:00 | Did see this www.computerlounge.co.nz Was a bit more than I was hoping to spend but if the PSU is good quality then it is probably not a bad price all up. |
