My computer has been using this piece of shit case from about 7 years ago that has really poor fans. I want something cool and quiet - it wouldn't matter so much for winter time but in the summer the beast can get pretty hot.

I'm up in Canada, so places like Newegg and NCIX are sites I am familiar with. Also, if I order from NCIX, I can save on the delivery and pick it up - it's a 5 minute walk away :)

Any suggestions?

Woops, forgot to mention that. So I tend to browse the daily/weekly deals of these sites, so it's nice saving like 20-45% (just got my 125$ headset for 49$ on a sweet promo)

I would really like to spend under 100$ but I know that's a bit unreasonable, so going over a bit shouldn't be too bad.

It'd probably be a better idea to make sure your new case supports things like your motherboard form factor (ATX, miniATX, microATX...etc.,), your PSU (most do), the height of your CPU cooler...etc.

You can easily get a decent case for $100.

Here's a bunch of cases in your price range from decent companies...

/e Might help to give us a SPECCY screenshot, so we know what motherboard you have.




Get SPECCY here: http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download
...get the FREE version from the: Piriform Link
...Speccy is a really nice system hardware/temperature, information Utility.
Simply install it...and run the program...then post a screen shot of the main page of the program, when posting a problem/question on these forums.

Aren't those all in US dollars? The conversion would be quite a bit higher than whats shown
