    Post Are Enermax cases good?

    I was wondering, because I was looking around, and I was going to get an Enermax PSU... How are the CS-989-AL-03 and -05 cases? I also wanted to get some extra air cooling, and they have places for 2x120mm fans and 2x80mm fans. If these are bad, what would be another good case?

    I buy nothing but antec. Enermax's are not the worst, but they have had problems with Epox boards because of its 5v rail being low.

    HaHa, I thought they were made by the same company...

    Enermax makes a great case, I doubt you'd have any problems. 120mm fans are the way to go, I wish I had room for them. You can push some serious air (more than 2 80's) and still hold a conversation in the room. You really can't do much better than 2x120 + 2x80. Get it, if you don't like it I HIGHLY doubt you should have any trouble getting somebody to take it off your hands.

    Disclaimer: I'm biased, my case, PSU, and 5 case fans are all Enermax. But they sure do work like a son of a gun. ANd oh yeah, did I mention they're quiet???

    Enermax cases = antec = chieftec

    I just got an enermax case and love it. I forgot who the actual parent company is that makes the performance case series, but all three brands above sell the exact same case but offer slightly different components with them, and of course their own ps.

    I'm running 400w enermax with en EPOX EP-8K7A+. It's running fine. The 5v rail is kinda low though. Maybe if I had antec I could up the 5v rail and be able to OC passed 1600mhz
