Default Help me pick a case for my birthday
Ok guys, I looked around but I am new to cases so help me out. I need basically a case that can cool an overclocked conroe ( I will be getting that for xmas and what not ), has to have a window (hopefully some lighting inside but not required), and has to be black for the most part. Price range would be like 50-120 shipped. Not 120+15 shipping. HELP!!! I cant really decide what is best!!!
