    9001 C4 Black Colours-IT Case + LCD + Prescott Ready 520w PSU

    I've just recently purchased this case and i have to say it looks amazing!

    Very spacious inside, easy access with just the one screw, and screwless mounts for your peripherals.

    CPU/HDD/VGA temperature sensors and fan speed monitors built into the LCD.

    Very steady, the mesh looks great, the blue lighting looks better.

    and last but not least it come with a free PSU and is black

    stay away from thermalTAKE - they take normal cases, stick labels on them etc and sell them for premium - better off with a cheap lianli( i think maplins had one for about £40ish some months ago, dunno if they still have it) or chieftec or antec lanboy or coolermaster!

    The multipliers on Athlon 64s are locked up the way so FSB adjustments are the only way to overclock. ColorsiT make dreadful PSUs if you were to but the case suggested before i reccomend you bin the PSU. I personally like the CoolerMaster Centurion 530 its a good cooling case which i think looks nice although its not as well built as my antec.
