chieftec makes excellent cases man.... love their internals. but one major flaw (at least for me) of their cases is that all the good ones comes with a friggin door.... i hate doors

One more is very heavy casing.

doors veli mafan 1 later u'll get bored of it...

if door get bored, change to scissor doors.. sure damn gaya one. anyway ikan, you also interested in such design eh? me will try to go KL next week. hope got available bus ticket.

If find which shop bring it, please let us know. Name the shop also price.

350 for casing + psu.....

enlight psu= 150 (i think la..not sure about enlight prices)
casing.... left about 200.... mebbe try

CM Centurion 5 for RM 190 or CM Centurion 530 for RM 200

both prices taken from Moderno's Bulk

one thing though.... wht kinda setup u thinking of? coz if its a power rig than the enlight PSU might not be able to handle the rig. honestly, i think its better to set aside RM300 to get a good PSU. not advisable to be skimping on the PSU. then mebbe u can get a capalang casing around RM100 and mod it urself to give it better airflow.

It is not that cheap to me last time since i m still a student...but still no regrets in buying this casing~

@rocketboy

I m using the Chieftec 420W True Power PSU...just a recommendation...it is quite good ans stable...the PSU didnt come together with the casing of mine...it cost me another RM220...but then it become one set of PSU and Casing by Chieftec

This are the specs of the rig that i'm gonna build

Pentium D 2.8Ghz
Corsair DDR 667-2Gb
Maxtor Sata 200Gb x 2
Sapphire X800GTO 256Mb DDR3

Do u think that i may require a good psu fo this setup???

uhuh...... i would recommend something thats at least 450w true power MINIMUM . look for them enermax's theyre a popular choice in this forum. but then to be safe get a 500w true power. thatll set u back more than 300 for the PSu alone.

time to recalculate ur budget dude

Well...the power of the PSU is actually depending on ur needs...why cut a chicken using cow's knife? I think if ur PC is normal usage without many drives or HDD or very highend GPU, then 420W is more than enough already.

Well..I vote for "go waaay overkill on psu" cos you wouldn't wanna skim on it.

If it goes balistic, it's likely to take the rest of the hardware along with it.

Problem is...most people think of their psu budget only AFTER settled on everything else whereby it should be up there with the CPU and VGA. Heck...I think even a slower cpu, crappier mobo, smaller HDD is worth it for a good psu.

I'd agree on a GOOD PSU...buy a good one...but about the power, surely over kill wont do no harm, anyhow i think 420W is more than enough for my T-Bred proc and its company

Basically I'm running a lesser powered rig than the dood...

Winchester + DFI UltraD + 78GT + 3x HDD = Seasonic S12 600W!!!!!

Which I changed after my supposedly good enough Enermax Coolergiant 485W went kaboom.

wohhh crap~
Coolergiant died?

Hey who was it that said they use Chieftec casing ah? Ikan_Semilang told me that the Chieftec can be got for RM200.
Kat mana? LYP ah?
IF so, I'm so gonna get 1 wui!

i love doors!

T-Bred + NF7-S + 9200 + 1xHDD = Chieftec TruePower 420W (i think already overkill, don't u think so? )

I m using Chieftec casing, i bought it last time at RM280 at Cycom. But the last time i visited LYP, i didn't notice any Chieftec casing around anymore. Maybe u can ask them to order it for u.

Eh got arr? i wan the Casing with PSU redundant model one. the big high tower casing. i saw the one Ikan send me. nice casing with lazer mod but too bad it doesn't come with psu redundant power.

cycom? hmm.. will take note..

Lol, same like me Venice 3000+ + DFI Ultra SLi-D + 6200TC + 1 HD = Enermax FMA 535 watt.

My friend got selling this casing la.

how about brands like cooler master & icute...will their psu's do the work??? r they safe???
