snowdogg, when u add the case to your cart and u choose ground shipping it is at no extra charge. yes, to get at ur drive bays you have to flip the cover to one side, just looked at sum pics and it looks like not such a big deal. it comes with a 300W P/S and costs 100.24 if I remember correctly, killer deal, the enlight is about 70 bucks shipped with 300 watter and i think the enlight is a much better deal.


good luck,

i hope mine cums on monday! keep ur fingers crossed

Here are some excellent cases to consider:

Lian-Li (all models)
Lite-On FS020
Chenbro Genie or Junior
Antec SX series
Addtronics
Fong-Kai

Any of those would be a good choice. Good luck.

The Enlight 7237 is a wonderful case. I haven't seen a smaller case that offers more external drive bays. It's a nice, clean design. The removeable 3.5" bay works well. The rails for the 5.25" drives are very nice as well. And if you are into it, it's a very easy case for modications, especially since it's so cheap you won't feel bad about screwing up.

Some caveats with the 7237: The 250W Enlight PSU on mine is a little louder than I'd like. If you're a quiet nut, buy the case without PSU and put in an Enermax or something. Also there are some models of the 7237 with a single-piece cover. Try to go for the 3-piece cover. It's just a little easier to work with, and a lot easier for mods. Other than that, it's a wonderful case.

The Antec SX1030 is nice too, offering the same number of external bays and a few more internal, but it's bigger and some people don't like the door covering the drive bays. It's a little more expensive but another excellent choice.

Really though, I think you'll find that any case recommended here is a good case.

looks like onvia only has the 7237 w/o a p/s
should I get this and just get a seperate p/s?
I would like a quiet one.
I like onvia's free shipping, hehe

They have a very nice full tower case with 3 80mm fans included + 300W AMD compatible PSU, plus shipping is cheaper. Beats the hell out of the 7237, take a look!

does anyone know about that full tower case that is on webuildpcs.com
I'm just wondering if it is loud.
I don't think I'd want a case thats too loud.
thanks

Noise depends on the number of fans you have plus the CPU HSF. Slap an FOP38 on it and any case will be loud.
