Re: tips for buying cases

the test to see if a case was good at our store has been for one of us big uglys to sit on it.
if it is still rectangular afterward it passed.
one guy that worked with us is 350++ lbs.
"give it the gene test" CRUNCH!!!!!
i sat on an old enlight case last week to tie my shoe.
it survived just fine.and i am 285 +-

I sit on cases all the time and I have NEVER crushed one (not even a cheap, flimsy one), but then again, I'm not that heavy (55kg or about 120 lb). My main problem with cheap cases is that the front USB ports don't seem to last.

My favourite ATX case it CoolerMaster's Centurion 5. Nice looking, mesh bezel with dust filter, verry little plastic, tool-less mounting for optical drives and HDD, 460W CoolerMaster PSU (much better than deer, powmax, sun pro, etc.). For a Micro ATX case I like the Centurion 541. Basically a Micro ATX version of the Centurion 5, and only has a 420W PSU.

Nice for you but I have deemed Coolmaster poor overall. This company is not basing the name on quality and is over priced. I had few and took them out shortly and seen other products, not impressive stats.

Their high end gaming cases like the sniper, scout, etc... are pretty nice and strong, but pretty plasticy.

I have a ABS Diablo ADV made by, Advance case. It is enormous as well as being able to support a elephant. I like it, but the plastic drive door is a little flimsy.
