Thanks again I've been buying Antec cases for a few years now (no cheapies, no surprises) and I've never had a problem with a board fitting. What you are going to want to watch out for is trying to use a regular, full-featured ATX board in a Micro-ATX case. That's where you get burnt. The nicer Antec cases will fit most boards. Many people like the Enlight cases as well, but I've never cared for their visual appearance, hence the Antec choice. Price is roughly the same, and I've had really good luck with the quality of the power supplies that Antec uses versus other, less expensive brands. Your mileage will vary. |

Standard ATX is 12" x 9.6". And I highly agree with Dismantler's opinion of Antec. Enlight should be fine as well. |

Standard ATX is 12" x 9.6". And I highly agree with Dismantler's opinion of Antec. Enlight should be fine as well. thanks for the advice you guys. Enlight is a DISTANT second choice. I've had trouble with the power supplies they use, but many folks swear by them. I figure it was just bad luck on my part. I don't use them anymore. I build AMD systems, and Antec power supplies are usually on AMD's lists of recommended units. I don't build P4's, so if that's where you're headed mobo and CPU-wise, then you might wish to look elsewhere for suggestions. If you want to buy a bargain case, you may get lucky and get a working power supply. Or you may not. Whether it is worth the headache or not is up to you. To me, it's not. I typically find myself replacing cheapie power supplies within 2-3 years due to failure, if they last that long. While someone here has chosen to disagree with me, the three AMD-based systems I have are all running solidly on Antec power supplies (in Antec cases) and have been running reliably, some of them for years now, without a problem. Others are newer, and haven't had any problems. As I said previously, your mileage will vary. You could get a bad unit (or a series of them), just the luck of the draw. |

... Where is AMD's list of recommended unit's located? http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/DevelopWithAMD/0,,30_2252_869_4348^4376,00.html They've copped out in recent site updates, but prior to this, they recommended specific units. This link lists recommended system components (select desired Athlon processor type to get listings): http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...52_869,00.html I went and bought one of them for a system I was building. It was the PP-412X. At that time, there was a recommended list. Now they only list manufacturers, and this is probably to avoid the appearance of giving favoritism to one vendor over another... |
