I am getting ready to build me second pc . The first biuld I did was just a test to see if I could really do it and it work . This build is gonna be first class all the way . I used an old throw away case I found at a yard sale the first time and this time I want to use a top of the line user friendly case that will last for years . I need room in the case with expanabily for future builds and upgrades . I am leaning toward this case at http://www.addtronics.com/ ths case I am looking at is the ET7890A . I would like the input from you all on your opinion on this case . Would also like to know if anyone out here has used it or any case from this company . The pro's and con's ........ Give me some feed back . Thanks .

That's a lot of case...

Pros
Lotsa room
Lotta fan spaces (if you ever need 'em)
Looks like a very good case for cooling

Cons
It ain't cheap

You really need that much case, even in the future? They make smaller ones that look pretty good too.

Assuming you want an AMD unit, the Aspire X-DreamerII and X-Dreamer are excellent cases. They look better than the picture. I have used two black ones for builds, and would use another anyday. Come with 350W power supplys, front USB2ports and sound jacks with cover door, 2 blue neon
case fan lights with alien head grills, plastic view window with one side-case fan, top blowhole with the 2nd fan, 6 front accent blue neon button lights, and the killer extra - front, blue back-lit LED CPU temperature readout that is accurate. And very, very nice to keep track of what your CPU temp is doing, especially if you o/clock like I do. Another neat feature that impresses folks are the stealth snap-doors for your CD and DVD drives. Not only does it look super cool, but that means that you can use any color CDs you want since the snap doors hide them. You may have to take the front covers off your drives, but that is 3" time. Come in variety of colors, I like black the best. Buy one of Neweggs blue neon case fans for $8 and add it in the rear vent (two vents, not one which is nice), round silver cables and you have a VERY impressive unit. The case paint job and workmanship is flawless.
Check out the price!

The room is what I like most and the fan space is there if I need it later down the road . I love the room for like the CD roms { I am gonna run 3 rom drives ) and there's still room for a new DVD burner . So even though I may never feel up all the space it's there for what the future holds .
