Hi all,

I=E2=80=99m going to put together a simple windows machine and thought =
I=E2=80=99d ask peoples opinions on cases.  All other parts of a =
computer can be chosen on their technical merits but I=E2=80=99m a bit =
stumped when it comes to choosing a case.  Lots of cases seem to be =
aimed at gamers, while honestly I don=E2=80=99t care about LEDs and how =
many colours it comes in.
I=E2=80=99m wondering if there are specific features I should look for =
that are more relevant to video professionals=E2=80=A6 things like port =
placements and so on.  Why the fuss over tempered glass panels?  If the =
point of a glass panel is so you can see the LEDs on the motherboard =
then I wouldn=E2=80=99t bother, unless there=E2=80=99s more to it than =
that?
The online retailer I use has over 300 cases to choose from ranging from =
$49 to over $800, and unlike RAM / CPU / GPU I have no idea what the =
extra money is bringing in. =20

I haven=E2=80=99t built a windows machine for over 10 years so any =
insight is welcome.

-Chris

FWIW I=E2=80=99m looking at an ATX case, only 1 graphics card.=
