Apex or Foxconn? - 2 Cases ...

[0m3g4]

Hey guys.

I'm sort of stuck on which case to use for my project. Here's the links to both on NewEgg -

APEX TX- 381 Black Steel MicroATX Mid Tower
Computer Case ATX12V 300W Power Supply <- Probably the case I'll be getting... I think?

Foxconn TLM436-CN300C-01 Black/Silver
Steel MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case
300W Power Supply

Had good luck with either company? Is one better than the other?
Thanks!

I had a Foxconn mobo die on me once

Either case is good, but I like the Foxconn one better (if it were to stay stock, otherwise either is a good choice and buy by the features).

Either way, don't trust the PSU they ship with. A good rule of thumb is, if it comes with the case, don't trust it for long.

Apex ALL the way dude. it looks way better in my opinion... and if you mod it.. w0w imagine the posibilities.

Alrighty. Thanks Mal & Solja!

But, one more question. Which would be the better buy for modding?
I like either one, and I don't really need a handle. If I do, I can just install one. That counts as a mod, too. (LOL?)



Edit: Hmm, I think I'll go for the APEX. It's only a few dollars more (including shipping), and it has a lot of positive features.

Well either one would be great... I personally think the Apex is the best choice for modding, however if you do change your mind (last minute changes happen alot), like you said you can add a handle. MNPCTech has great handle mod supplies amongst numerous other things.

Well, thanks guys for your comments.

My budget rides right along the total of the Apex case w/ shipping, so I'll have to wait a few more days till I can buy my materials. (Plexi, sandpaper, mesh, all that good stuff ... )

But, I'll be getting the Apex case. I already have a bunch of ideas for it, and I don't even have the case.

Either way, don't trust the PSU they ship with. A good rule of thumb is, if it comes with the case, don't trust it for long.

Antec should be an exception to that rule though.
