Long gone are the days of dull beige rectangles. Nowadays, computer cases come in various shapes, sizes, colors, and designs and with much better features than ever before. We'll show you what to look for when buying a new computer case.

I'm about to install my Opteron system into Antec Lanboy (rear 80mm fan's )

people who went 120 don't went back to less
Comment from jmke @ 2006/03/09
it's adviced, not required

e.g.: for Prescott PC, rear exhaust fan (min 80mm) is required
Comment from Rutar @ 2006/03/09
It is, because the 120mm fan size allows qiuet to silent operation with 800-1200 RPM and still moves sufficent air.
Comment from jmke @ 2006/03/09
that's not true; ANY case fan in rear will do. bigger is better, but not a requirement imho

Doesn't mention the most important case buyer rule: 120s only
