I got my new case at Altex Electronics because I needed a new power supply and my HP case was not standard. They have a great selection and I got a lower-end case; but WOW, it was really a good one and well constructed too.

Need a solid but cool computer case. Which do you recommend?
I'm going to be traveling a bit between my college and hometown and would like to bring my desktop computer (a fairly nice gaming PC.) My current case has good airflow, but I don't think it would do well on the train and car trips I'll have to take. Is there a case that is solid AND allows good airflow? I need suggestions! Please help!Need a solid but cool computer case. Which do you recommend?
Any case aimed at lan parties would be a good choice, but you might have trouble with size.
The CM Storm Scout has handles for good portability, the Antec 300 Illusion is fairly small, has good airflow (not a fan of tri-cool fans, though, they're pretty loud, might want to grab some quieter ones with better CFM).

After market computer cases?

Use full tower case will fit all these and more if you want to add or upgrade later. Your old MB might or might not fit because it's OEM typeAfter market computer cases?
find out what motherboard is in your computer. cases fit standardized mother boards. ATX for instance is a motherboard type. any ATX case will fit an ATX motherboard. some computer ,anufacturers may custom make a motherboard so it will only fit their cases..

Can computer case fans be powered by batteries?
I have a couple left over case fans and they say they are DC so I was going to use them in a little project I'm making. Are the volts and amps listed the required to power it... also which type will work underwater.. I can remember if it's the magnetic type or what not...Can computer case fans be powered by batteries?
Most computer fans are 12 VDC. The voltage and current should be listed on the fan someplace. I don't think they'll work underwater. They're designed to move air and won't have the power to push the much heavier water. They should run for a bit under fresh water. I don't know how long they'd last in salt water. The best thing to do might be to get a small battery operated pump. Remove the pump part, being careful not to hurt the seal of the motor, and connect the fan blade to the shaft of the pump motor. Or maybe the pump itself can do the job you want the fan to do.

CUSTOM COMPUTER CASE help me find correct size?
The computer I currently have is:
Acer AMD Phenom X3 Triple Core 8400 2.1GHz Computer (AM1201-E1721A)
I would like to know what size type the motherboard is [ATX etc] so I can buy a bigger case. I will be buying the case from tigerdirect so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!CUSTOM COMPUTER CASE help me find correct size?
I have checked the specifications given by Acer but they do not give any information about the type of motherboard. There is a method of determing the type of motherboard which involves placing the computer sideways such that the side with the motherboard is closer to the floor and then looking into its back. If your computer has an ATX motherboard, the expansion slot covers should be on the right. If your computer has a BTX motherboard the expansion slot covers will be on your left. The positions are seen when looking into the back of the computer. Your computer will most likely have an ATX or micro-ATX motherboard. A micro-ATX motherboard will fit into a case for ATX motherboards but not the other way around.

What computer case should I get to lower my temps?
Ok I already have a case for my computer. BUT it has holes on the side to show off the very pretty, but totally usless blue lcd lights inside. I have had some temp problems and I think that the fans I have in the front and back aren't getting rid of the hot air cuz those holes don't allow a vacuum effect (my own theory). I have heard of cases that are airtight and can keep a computer really cool (like a refrigerator). but I can't find anything. So I need some help. Anything I can do to cool this thing down?
Here is some Info:
I have a dual core amd 930 X2. 3G Ram. A evga 6800 GS PCI express vid card.
I really don't want water cooling!!!
Please help me out here guys. Thanks.What computer case should I get to lower my temps?
I used water cooling and thought nothing could beat it...until I bought one of those oversized heat sink fan/coolers. I was amazed. I am getting lower temps than I did with liquid cooling.What computer case should I get to lower my temps?
First make sure the inside of computer is free of dust, etc. Next make sure fans are clean, and all vents. Your fans may be in the wrong places to create the effect. I haven't heard of the airtight case and am not sure it would work. Go to pcworld.com and you may find lots of info to help you.
How do you know you have a temperature issue?
That setup should not have any issues with heat unless it is either completely clogged with dust, or overclocked a large amount.
The best type of case for cooling, in my opinion is pretty much anything aluminum.
Lian-Li cases are some of the best aluminum cases as far as construction and cooling is concerned.
You do not want a case to be airtight. That would not allow the heat from the components to be vented out and you would SURELY overheat.
What you want is a case that moves air in from the bottom of the case and out on the top, as heat rises. Ideally, you want to have an equal amount of intake and exhaust fans. You do not want to create a vacuum as that will cause issues with airflow.
Open your case and use a big fan to cool the system. It works for me in summer.
Or you can just get a bigger case. You might want to install some additional fan to cool the system.
There are so many cases now with 120mm intake fan up front and a STRONGER 120mm exhaust fan at the back. Pick the model w/ minimal obstruction to airflow. I prefer just a grill and not the tiny holes. There are good cases from Antec, Lian Li, Coolermaster, Thermaltake, etc. But there are cheaper ones (all steel).
Just for laughs, here's my favorite beast:
