Computer Geeks Cases Any Good?

[diyguy]

I'm building a PIII 1.2 GHz second computer for general use. I'm looking at this case at Computer Geeks and wonder if it would be good to use (I already have a 300 watt PS by Startech).

Hello diyguy and welcome to the PC Guide. The case is fine as long as it holds all the parts and fits where you want to put it, and I see no reason why this one should not do both. The power supply should be your primary concern. To be safe, you should have a power supply that is approved by your motherboard manufacturer.

It's cheap. You get what you pay for, and that is a very cheap case. It will serve you fine, but watch out for sharp edges when putting your system together. The fan on the side window isn't in a good spot, either, but cooling shouldn't be too big of a concern with a Pentium III.

Also, installing hard drives and floppy drives a bit fiddly due to the centred 3.5 inch bays. You might find your memory modules are in the way when trying to add / remove drives. My recommendation is to install the memory modules AFTER screwing the hard drive(s) and floppy into the case.

Cases are more of a personal prefference. Just make sure you get a high quality psu.
