Case finding help
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: Mr. Mulder
I started a thread awhile back about desktop Acrylic cases and have since then given up and opted for Tower.
There’s three or 4 decent ones within the UK, but what I’m really after is This (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-166-006&depa=1) hawt piece of ass :01:
The only problem is, Newegg don’t ship to the UK, and I can’t find any UK retailers that do it, So does anyone know of any US sites that have the case and ship to the UK? Or better yet, a UK site that has it? :unsure:

Here's (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_copy_of_Akasa.html) something from the UK.
Still expensive tho' :ermm:
There are more of them elsewhere on the site, like here (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Other_Cases_35.html) for instance.
Only ever looked at the site though, I know nothing about their reliability. the swedish site, if it's the same people, doesn't have any of the good stuff, either :dry:

i would stay away from these all clear cases as they get dirty before you can say dirty and cleaning can be a pain :P

This (http://www.yorkshirecomputers.co.uk/cgi-bin/tekbros/0000091.html) looks okish, once it's built and filled, like :ermm:
But it's not the SunBeam one :no:

Yeah that's something to consider, I've got an acrylic front on mine, and it's already full of fingerprints.
Doesn't look very nice when lit up, I gotta' say. :dry:
They've got sunbeams at overclockers.co.uk, but not the transparent one :(
At overclocker.co.uk :blink: they've got even less.

Here's (http://www.clearpc.ca/) a site I found through my amazing google skills, but alas, it's still like 50 buckaroos (for the midtower) more expensive than the newegg sunbeam, and it ain't a sunbeam either.
They ship worldwide.

It's pretty weird the way we manage to find the same links :lol: :unsure:
Me, I'm looking for a small piece of plexiglass to fit the front of my rig, but it's too expensive everywhere I've looked, and the piece I need is much smaller than the smallest bits they sell :(
You'd think this stuff would be easy to get with all the modders out there.
Just 'cos I said that I may have found something for me :blink:

Dunno' if you are still looking for one, but I found a place in Sweden that carried sunbeams, only blue ones for the format you wanted and they seem to be out atm, but I can keep a lookout.
Ordered a transparent cover for mine from the same place, 'cos it had very nicely positioned pre-cut 80mm holes and it was the cheapest cover I've ever seen for my computer. I wonder how hard it is to tint it. Maybe I'm just gonna' paint the inside of it white or black :unsure:
Posted by: Mr. Mulder
cheers SnnY but i've got scully now wont be needing a case for quite some time probably :unsure:
that side panel for your shuttle? :01:
Posted by: Snee
http://www.frozencpu.com/win-112.html the antire cover.
And I have a piece of plexiglass I'm going to replace the front plexi with too, the only bit that won't be acryllic is the front. But like I said, I don't want a clear case, so I'm gonna' try and give it a paintjob.
