Suggestions for a New Computer casing

[firebasefury]

---

Taud2x nako nag huna2x ani kay plano na nako mag ilis nako ug PC (old na ako P4 3.0Ghz 5 yrs+ na) So I want to start with the case. Mangayo unta ko ug suggestions ninyo.

Mao ni ako criteria:

- Preferably black aluminum case. If naa mga additional feats like mga drive covers mas maayo.
- Front USB and Firewire ports. Without Audio ports a must. Di ko ganahan jd basta naay front audio ports.
- Cable management. Ganahan ko na pwede ma hide ang excess cables. (Will be getting a good PSU for this kanang mga modular ba ang tawag ana?)
- Good Airflow. (I dunno if mo go along ba ni anang mga water cooling add-ons pero if pwede nice pud.)
- Kanang mo support ug full sized motherboard. Spacious.
- And kanang dili mag huot if in case mo kuha ko anang video cards na dagko.
- HDD cages na igo pud sa cooling inside.

So far mao pa man ni ako mahuna-hunaan. If naa mo suggestions let me know. Salamat.

Hmmm i think ok ra mga 7k sir. Pero di pa na nako karon paliton. I've been thinking pud adtong CM kadtong dako kaayo ug fan sa kilid pero murag di ko satisfied.

Sa mga ni reply salamat kaayo sa inyo inputs. Ako na tag-sa tagsahon ug check. Ang nzxt tempest ok pud siya pero naa man gud front audio ports. Ma connect ba na ang front audio ports ug dili on-board na sound card?

[andz]

It actually depends on the sound card sir, some actually will have a connection for the front audio ports.

Most cases today have front audio ports like the NZXT Tempest. Creative Sound card for example some of there models you need to buy the front panel

The good thing about having front audio ports is that you can easily plug your headset/speaker in-front without the hassle of plugging it into the back-part of your computer.

I can't figure out why you dislike front audio ports, there's basically no negative part on having it. Since the front audio ports are plugged into your motherboard (AC97 or HD Audio). Although if you have bought a new sound card, just disable the on-board sound card use the new one

personal/dmelsie/W580: Thanks kaau!
