Default Decent Gaming Case needed..

our company buys from Raidmax and Cooler Master the most. I am open to other brands as well, but I am looking for a decent case for a value system and a decent case for a higher end system.. any suggestions?..

I was thinking the ninja from Raidmax, but it looks alot like another companies case thats out there.. there are too many cases to decide on a good one..lol

It would help if i knew exactly what it would be housing but here are my suggestions anyway

Budget- CM 690
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119137
(look for it places on rebate, you can usually find it cheap)

Your nice one- Im particular to the Antec Series (300,900,1200) so either the Antec 1200
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129043

Or the TJ07 (more expensive side)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811163060

But really its all what you want your case to look like. Everyone has there own tastes, but those cases are good quality along with good preformance.

Default yep

I was actually looking at the 690 cent. and the 532 as well.. decent pricing on both, and we buy alot of the cooler masters


this is a very low end value system, so I am trying to keep the cost down in everyway possible..

1 ASUS P5N-MX
2 Pentium dual-core E2200(2.20GHz)
3 XFX GEFORCE 8400GS 512MB PCI-E
4 DDR2 667MHz [1GB] 2
5 LITE-ON 20X DVD+/-RW IDE
6 WD Hard Drive 200 GB
7 MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP HOME
8 3 YEAR LABOR WARRANTY / 1 YEAR PARTS

Here is another system I was tossing around as well.. thoughts?

1 MSI K9A2 Platinum
2 AMD PHENOM X4 9850BE 2.5GHZ/2MB/4000
3 LITE-ON LH-20A1S 20X DVDRW SATA BLK
4 KINGSTON HYPERX 1066MHZ [2GB] 2X1GB
5 750 watt PS
6 WESTERN DIGITAL 500GB 16MB CACHE SATA II
7 HD4850 ATI GPU x 2
8 MS WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32-BIT
9 3 YEAR LABOR WARRANTY / 1 YEAR PARTS
