Is this Antec PC Case + PSU compatible with my Intel I5 Motherboard bundle?

Hi


I'm buying this intel i5 bundle:


http://www.cclonline.com/product-info.asp?product_id=34886%26amp;tid=frooct





And am wondering if it's compatible with this case and PSU:


http://www.lambda-tek.com/componentshop/index.pl?prodID=B208523





Also, what hard disk (250gb+) and optical drive would you recommend to buy that would be compatible with all the above parts.





Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you are doing serious gaming you are going to need more than the 380 w psu





you might want to try this barebones:

I have one and it is compatible with core 2 quad processors which are very fast and it comes with mobo and 650 w psu and since it is a coolermaster it provides great airflow to keep components cool under heavy use

its extremely fast





also any SATA harddrive and any SATA optical drive would be compatible.Is this Antec PC Case + PSU compatible with my Intel I5 Motherboard bundle?
It would appear that it is compatible from the specs given by the site...I think that you might want to get two 250 Western Digitals so you could Raid them to double your speed...I doubt you got the i5 for web surfing...but you will need to up-grade your power supply and possibly your cooling fans when you drop in the 4870...

I Need A PC Case with Good Cable Management Options & Plenty of Space Inside?

Hi





Im currently looking for an ATX form factor Desktop case with these main points:





1) Has to have a side window.


2) Good Cable Management Options.


3) Plenty of space inside for upgrading and hard drives etc.





I have yet to find a case with ALL 3 of these things, i did like the Antec nine hundred but the cable management is not to be seen and as for the dust that case gathers is another story lol.





Can anyone suggest a case with these 3 things?I Need A PC Case with Good Cable Management Options %26amp; Plenty of Space Inside?

Greatest case I have ever owned - awesome side window, the built-in fans (there are four plus a lower vent, and they all have dust screens!) have blue LEDs built in. Cable management is amazing in this case, and there's a whole separate section for easy slide-in and slide-out of up to six hard drives (comes with the little runners that snap onto and off of the sides of the hard drive so they will slide into the case). You can't get a better case than this for cooling, large size, and awesome cable and hard disk management!

Help with this pc case?

My friend wants me to build him a pc, so i asked him if he had cash, he said yeah but hes got a 1k budget though, so i said ok and pulled up buy.om, searched for a motherboard that fits his needs (hes not really smart with computers so he dont need much..), then after that i explained to him what it had and such, and he said that it sounded good, then i asked him what he was going to use it for, he just said games, so i put the minimum i could in it to save him cash (3 gigs of ram, 2.3 ghz core i7(the lowest one there), a 200 gig HDD, ect. so then after everything was picked, the case was last, so he looked for about an hour and found this cheap, but futuristic one, so i looked at its size, and the motherboards size, its big enough in the dimensions, but it says its a ATX case and the motherboards form factor is EATX. This is the case (GMC GMCX7BL X-7 X-Station Middle Tower ATX Case - Black - azt-gmcx7-bl) take it and type it in buy.com's search(putting a link isnt working..). So i need to know, will it work? if not is there a case just like it but fitted for EATX boards? i dont want to have to tell him he cant get that case because he really wants that one. So if it will fit tell me. If it wont tell me if theres one like it but to its fitting. And if both are a no then tell me what case will support it.


ThankyouHelp with this pc case?
the case your friend has chosen is big enough by far for an EATX motherboard. the difference in size of motherboards is this


ATX: length 12';, depth 9.6';


EATX: length 12';, depth 10.4';


the length is standardized to 12'; (this means 7 extension slots) and the difference of 0.8'; in depth is absolutely no problem. my case has the same size and there are tons of space in that direction.





the only concern could be the distance between the mounting holes. i don't know if these are the same for ATX and EATX but if this case is fairly new it should also support EATX mobos.

Cheap Cool Looking Pc Case?

Ok so im away to build a new gaming pc and i want a cool looking case but as i have a limited budget i only have about 30 quid to spend i already have a 拢50 PSU (OCZ 500w) so i will not a PSU although if it comes with one i can always take it out. I would like it to have ok cool cause i know at 拢30 it isnt going to be great however i am willing to install LEDs and fans.





Also im ordering all my components from ebuyer.com so if you could find one there it would be a plus although i dont really mind buying from else where.

Crackling sound from pc casing with dimming lights?

I'm using Acer Aspire T180 with AMD Athlon 64 X2, Nvidia Geforce 8600GT, 2 Sata HDD, a DVDRW and Cooler Master 500W. My problem is that I'm hearing an intermittent crackling sound from the the casing accompanied with the dimming of the power lights (at the wall power point). This happens even before Windows is loaded so I know that it's not the hard disk. What could be the problem?





I have only recently installed the Cooler Master 500W after suspecting that the standard 250W PSU that came with the T180 was insufficient to power the 8600GT and 2 SATA HDD. Prior to that, the computer would randomly turn itself off without warning. This no longer happens but now there's the crackling sound. The PC works ok but I'm worried that sound could mean something else.Crackling sound from pc casing with dimming lights?
Its nothing else but just like some wire or such else component that is stucking with some fan or other device. Just check it and it will be ok...Crackling sound from pc casing with dimming lights?
It most defanitly sounds like a Power Supply issue. If you can, take it back (or send) to the store and get a replacement of the same unit and see if does the same thing.

Looking for a pc case for acer sk20?

Ive got better compyters, but its my first time getting a case.


so i thought id start with one of my old computers so that if i stuff it up i wont mind.





Im wondering if i can get an atx mid tower case.


the acer is an odd shape and is made to lay down with a screen sittign on top.





Theres a small picture of it here http://www.rad9.com/site/radn/images/items/Acer%20SK20.1.jpg





can i just transfer the parts or do i need something of the same shape to start with.Looking for a pc case for acer sk20?
It all depends on the form factor of the motherboard and the power supply. If it uses an ATX motherboard and power supply (the most common), then any standard case will do. If it uses something weird and proprietary, then you will probably have trouble.





Chances are good that the motherboard will work fine, you just may need to get a new power supply. All of the other components are standard and will work fine.
