Windows Best CAD software? (preferably free)

Hi guys

i'm thinking of a casemod, and need to make some circuits for it. however i don't have any CAD software.. and since i've never used one before i have no idea about what features and so on, is required/good to have.. SO, i was thinking that some of you guys had any suggestions for a good CAD program.

I would prefer, as it says in the title, that its free, however i don't mind paying a bit for one

Google sketchup is free, I dont have any experience with it though as my Uni proves Autodesk Inventor which is brilliant but very expensive if you have to pay for it.

There's also the sketchup component repository which should mean that you dont have to model standard components.

Another vote for sketchup, especially as sketchup pro lets you export to autocad files...

 

Think i explained it a bit bad.. cause i need a software for designing electronic circuits.

and i can only agree with you guys SketchUp is great!

 

From deep in the past, I bring you, acrimonious' PCB design thread!

Please next time.

 

i did search.. guess i just didn't do it good enough.. my bad

but thanks for the reply
