Me Need New Case

[raiserblade2003]

http://server5.uploadit.org/files2/231203-case.GIF that is a case similar to mine w/o the circle thingy on the bottom....same color, same lighting, same side window. and as u see, its kinda hard to find a dvd burner or drive that match the color of the case....so what do u guys recommend?

i want my new case to have front panel lighting like the above and w/ open window so my cathode will be viewable....and is easy to match w/ the optical drive front panel plate

[bigdawgfoxx]

you want a new case just so you can match the Drives with the drive covers?!?!!!?!!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!

lol pretty much....right now its really ugly.....metallic silver case....white/black dvd burner....ughhhhhhhhhh and the case i have right now...the front 5.25 panel plate stick out...its not flat like most case so when i installed my cd rom drive, the cdrom is flat while the rest of the front panel plate on the case is stickign out....does that make sense?

dude. it's the inside that counts. that's y i keep mine so neat and stuff. plus my 2 cathodes make it look tight. i got a door on my case, so i don't have to worry bout these issues

my inside is neat too, you cant really see any wires except for the cathode wire....but from the front view, the color beige and silver doesnt really match ;)

If your case is like the one above then why don&#39;t you just leave the drive covers on.They are made to cover the front of the drive so it doesn&#39;t matter what color the drive is.This is what i did to mine,I had to modify the button to eject the CD though but it works fine.

it&#39;s called stealthing ur drives. that works perfectly. do that. u have to work with ur drive open button a bit. but it makes it look good at the end

How about the ever popular Lian-Li 60 series?

All aluminium, easily stealthed drives, removable mobo tray, very high build quality.

yea. lian-li makes good cases. they&#39;re small, but good quality. i prefer the full towers, cuz i need space. like i said b4, i need a full tower for my next rig if i&#39;m putting wc in it. fitting all the tubing in a mid tower is hard

[clocker]

They make full towers also, Abu.

The tubing is just called automotive tubing I believe. Go to any kind of tubing store or Automotive stores have it usually. Its just black and has a cut down the middle. You can pull the cut apart to put some wires in and then the cut goes back around and it looks closed off.

Umm, just go to radio shack and look for that kinda stuff. Its called split loom, or wire loom. Or its near the split loom.
