Question Lookin' for a Good Case
Alright guys I'm needing a cool looking, good cooling case under $100. I was thinking about the Aspire X-Navigator but I'm just checking if you guys might know something better with more fans/better cooling(mostly what I'm looking for). I'm getting tired of having to leave my side panel off all of the time so my freakin' prescott doesn't melt my machine. Thanks.

Lol that's what I was gonna recommend. Yes man it's a good case and it's huge. Stock fans are pretty good comes with fan controller. Navigator all the way.

I have a Soprano and I'm not very impressed. The 2 120mm fans seem like they're pretty low cfm and the side fan is just...useless.

the 120mm on the X-Navigator is really good. All the fans are decent. Definately the case for you. Check mine out in my rig showcase.

Does anyone know if all the Aspire cases are good? X-Aspire x-Navigator X-Cruiser etc. or is it just the X-Navigator?
