I'm going to transfer my old hp to a new case. I was thinking about THIS one, cheap, looks decent. Does anybody have any pros or cons about this case or another case option. I would also like to see the raidmax astro complete.

Looks like a nice case to me, price is right too.
looks good to me too. if the 2 side 80's are too noisy just mod them to 120's.
looks like there's room.
I have two 80's w/ leds I could slap in there also. 120's sound good two though, would I just cut a new hole?
Assuming you plan on taking the stamped fan grilles out of the back, it looks good. Strong enough, from what the reviews say, and decent airflow.
I'll definitively cut those out, they seem like they'll restrict airflow. which is better, a single 120 or two 80's?I'll also make the two sides an intake rather than exhaust. No other cases in that price range look that good.
My brother actually bought that case and ended up only haveing it for a couple weeks because the sides and top were flimsy. The top could be easily be pushed in.
Maybe its not such a good idea then...:think:
I'll be looking at more expensive(quality) cases now.
I like the soprano, but a little costly. The Sunbeam Silent Storm is also nice, but I don't know if I like the core fan.
I have a cooler master centurion 5 and it is great. easy to work in, good quality, and it only costs around 40-50 bucks, so definitely check that out. And if you have a little bit more cash, the CoolerMaster RC-690 looks like a good case, although i havent personally built with it.
It looks good and is 39.99 on sale at newegg. Don't like that you have to remove front panel to install drives, but has a nice window. Anybody else have any suggestions?
Centurion 5 is an excellent case, don't let the front panel removal deter you. It is a very good medium quality case and if it's $39.99 not much will be better.
I like the price, quality, and style. Sounds like a good buy.
Seriously go for it. Although i have the unwindowed version, which is the same thing, only without a window (in case you were thinking about modding it). Yeah it is a great midrange case. Im upgrading to an Antec 900, but if you dont have a lot of cash go for the Centurion 5. BTW it has the highest rating on NewEgg so that means :banana::up::up::banana:
I kinda want one with a door now, but still really considering the Centurion 5.
By door you mean one for the front, covering the drive bays?
Yes, I think it makes it look "cleaner".
It looks better than a door when yo u stealth them. I love that look and a tutorial would be awesome.
In that case, I'll work on a tutorial today and get it posted up.
That would be awesome!
