i was going to use my old case but its got some age on it and it has 6 fans surrounding the case...i really dont like it IMO

They are very good suggestions Rich gave you there.I have the Centurian myself.It was easy to work with,light compared to others,and has a stately appeal to it.The case also has a built in filter system in the front intake area....if you have a dust,pollen or animal dander situation,and is cleaned rather easily.


The better case that is mentioned,I recently used for my son's build,is stout,solid and loaded with fans and lights.Note also,that the better case does not come with an HDD indicater light on the front of the case.If you need more than 3 bays for cd drives,this case is limited.Very strong,well built case,not as roomy as the centurion,and you will need a screwdriver.This case weighs 2x what the Centurian does.

i have a Micro Center just a couple of miles from my house...
Do any of you know if they price match stuff with newegg.com

because if so then do you think its better off getting everything over there so just incase something does happen i can return it and possibly get a plan with all the hardware....

OR

just suck it up and get everything off newegg and call it a day

Lol, I say go down to micro center, if they have something you want then buy it, and whatever they don't have just get it on newegg

BTW, your so lucky you've got a micro center down close to you!! The closest one to me is an hour away!!!!

Parker, if your parents lived any closer, your family would constantly be broke......You're like a crackhead with computer parts.

Isn't the light up by the usb ports an hd indicator? I was always under the assumption that it was missing a dedicated power light... which isn't a problem with the led fans. (unless the better case is something other than the antec 900....)
