Hi people!
I can get the above case for about $169 at coolerguys.com. Frozencpu.com is advertising the same that includes 3 120 CoolMaster Ultra Quiet fans and and installed sound deadening system that, including shipping, will run me $304.00 My question is is the "mod" worth the difference?
Anothe question...I've read that the 6070B Plus is advertising with a 'slideable' mobo but people who have it sez, no, it does not. I'm probably a casual gamer that really don't plan on opening my case all that much unless required to. Is the sliding mobo all that important?
This is my first question to this forum....I'm anxiously awaiting your knowledgeable responses!
Thank a bunch!

First off, welcome to the boards. Lots of good knowledge here will little elitism.
To answer your question about the sliding motherboard tray. It's not nessicary. It will make some things easier such as installing the motherboard, cards, and heat sync but in the end it's just a convience like anything else. It's not going to make one bit of diffrence in performance and if you like the case for everything else but that one feature, I say buy the case. Motherboards are easy to install if you've done them before. Back in the day we never had removable trays.
As for the "pre modded" case, that's up to you. Sound deading has become very trendy this last year or so since Antec introduced thier case that comes with it. I'm not a huge fan of it for a couple reasons. It does nothing but add weight and insulation to your case. It may actually raise temperatures in your case, but that's purely speculation on my part and I've no data to back that up. Also, fan's are cheap. $20 a piece for premium ones. Do the math. Sounds like you're paying $70 for some Dynamat to me.
