Im looking at the Chenming case at newegg.com and one is made out of Aluminum and is $67, another is around $55 but is made out of 1.0mm SECC (same model). So my question is should I go with the Aluminum, what would be the downside of going with the SECC? Thanks for your help.
 
Sorry guys, did some research and looks like there isn't a big difference, i'll go with the aluminum and spend some more money on fans. Thanks
 
Isn't the SECC one, ordinary steel?

Aluminum dissipates heat better.
 
yeah the secc looks really shiny so im guessing its steal, I ordered the aluminum version so i'm happy.

Buy your fans off ebay. I saved heaps doing that.
 
Youll be able to find some good fans on ebay. A lot of people that sell fans rip you off in shipping though (12.95 shipping for 4 fans :lol:) Once in a while youll get a good deal (ex. 4 uv led fans for 6 bucks + 5 bucks shipping)

I got 4x 80mm Arctic fans at 50% off retail, £0.75 per fan shipping. I also bought all my cables on ebay - similar savings involved. I found that I couldn't get the components cheaper there - but then I wasn't prepared to compromise on quality, so I'm not that surprised.
