I'm definatly getting this if I buy a new computer...

For the best looking case, I would going to suggest the cooler master wavemaster, but you already have it up there.

Its a bit pricy, but if I had the money I would probably get it. Go to your nearest Comp USA and see their compaq gaming computer that uses it, very sharp.

Dont froget to get the one with the window btw, you need to show off the insides of it.

I'm rather partial to the Lian-Li PC-73 SL

The "silent solution" from the manufacturer with arguably the best build quality and attention to detail.
Plus...no window. :P

There isnt a "best case", there is people that likes windows , others that dont, there is people that HATES Neons, there is people that love them, it depends on you, dont do it cuz people will like it, do it for yourself...

And BTW that case you got there is cool... B)


This is my rig,like it or not :) , Peace:

:) Thank you&#33; :)

I used to have that red light inside the case but when i bought my Blue Neon i glued the red to the back of the case, so the wall gets red, it looks really nice, only problem was wiring all the stuff from outside to inside...

Ah, the infamous Thermaltake XaserIII.

Now there&#39;s a case that you either love or hate.
I started out out loving mine and ended up junking it.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Haha cuz you ripped holes in it constantly&#33; :P haha.

I like the Thermaltakes...they look awesome.

I never ripped holes in it...I nibbled them.

Had the case been better designed I wouldn&#39;t have had to, don&#39;t you think?
Afterall, it comes with seven fans right out of the box...if they were any good I shouldn&#39;t have had to touch it.

[bigdawgfoxx]

lol true. Are they 80mm fans? and did they blow much air?

And the ones on the window...do those suck or blow? cuz that makes no since to me..where do they get air from?

I think that&#39;s a bit too over done for just a pc case I like simple ones like the one I posted up there ^.

[j4y3m]

I can&#39;t decide between these two...

The Antec P160

http://www.antec-inc.com/images/400/P160_front.jpg

or...

The Cooler Master Wave Master

[Neo 721]

That case looked a tad square, and rough round the edges.

the chieftec dragon series cases are cool and you can cuy a seperate side window if u want but i think some of them come with a window anyway. and they have easy side removal just pull on a latch and it opens up :)

[hi_what_is_up!]

How about the xaser Damier seris, I was looking at the blue one but clocker said he trashed his, i was wondering if it was worth a buy. although the checkered stuff looks kinda gay.

Made of aluminium, designed for LAN&#39;s so its feather light.....comes with 2 low-speed 120mm fans, big window. Not bad IMO.

I admit the clear plastic thing at the front looks a bit crap though.

my crap ass case is also feather light and it only cost me &#036;30, its the stuff inside the case that makes it heavy.

[RGX]

Yes but the case is undeniably a large part of the overall weight, im pretty sure your crap ass case is still heavier than this one, when you have to transport a machine from place to place anything you can cut down on is a plus.

[hi_what_is_up!]

the one i want is 37 pounds&#33;

beleive me mine is about as light as a case can get, its teh stuff in the case that is heavy, hard drive and power supplys are probably the heaviest parts.

&#036;250? Im guessing you already have the best parts made and wouldnt want to upgrade them with some of that money, because that is alot for a case. A Chieftec Dragon case is very nice for about &#036;80, and from tigerdirect.com also comes with a free 500Watt Ultra PSU ( I have it and it is very nice)

Here (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=103751&st=0) is my case. Mine is the first case. I think you would really like that case, as it is very easy to use, and sturdy. Then you could spend the other money on crazy lights and all sorts of stuff.

These (http://xoxide.com/lianli.html) Lian Li cases are very nice also. I think I like the top middle one the best, it looks really good.

These (http://xoxide.com/thermaltake.html) Thermaltake cases are also very nice. I think I like the Xaser III better then the Xaser V.

Here (http://xoxide.com/cowacas.html) is the coolermaster wave master. Went in Maximum PC&#39;s 2003 Dream Machine.

I like them all.

What makes them call the Lian Li cases Silent? What do they have in them that makes them silent?

[abu_has_the_power]

xaser III for me. they look so cool. clocker, u mess too much. just like how i oc too much

[RGX]

Undoubtably, the hard drives and PSU are the heaviest things in the case but thats beside the point, theres nothing we can do about that.

Is your case made from aluminium? Does it have 9 drive bays? Does it weigh less than 8.8 pounds (the weight of the super lanboy)?

If so, please tell me what case and I&#39;ll order one now.

[bigdawgfoxx]

ABU why dont you overclock somemore? 8.8lbs...damn thats light lol.

My case with everything in it..I would say weighs at least 40lbs

why does every body say that if they have the money?
i was with my dad checking out some stuff at frys
2 guys that looked 18 said "I had the money I would get the
cooler master wavemaster." that case is cheap only &#036;120
or more i think :lol: well thats me

The Lian-li case that I posted is the "silent" model.
Not all of them are.

That case has extensive use of interior closed cell foam panelling, the doors are gasketed and other details insure that sound will not escape.
I can&#39;t help but wonder about the cooling capabilities...after all, if sound can&#39;t escape, then how does air get in?

Is this Cooler Master&#39;s latest case? It&#39;s nice...

i have no idea what the actualy weight is (if i had a weigher machine id check). but i have 4 drive bays, 2 floppy bays, and the hard drive bays go to the floor, there are 5 of them. and yes its made of aluminum. im not sure what the case is called but i bought it from factory direct (a canadian store).

[RGX]

Sounds indeed very similar to the lanboy.....dont suppose you have a pic anywhere or a model number?

i have no model numbers or anything but i guess i can explain how it looks?

its white and the front has a big blue button for the power (not too big, about 1 inch) and a 1&#092;4 inch reset button (might be half im not good with measurements) and under thae two buttons are the lights, green on top for power, then red hdd led light under it. finally at eh bottom are 2 usb ports.
it has one back fan spot and 2 on the front at the bottom.

ill try to find a picture of it on the factorydirect website but im not sure if they have one.

edit: nope no picture on the website, the description is also very brief. someone canadian might want to check out these cases here (http://www.factorydirect.ca/cgi-bin/category_list.pl/ENCL) i like the scorpio one.
