Thing is with a quality case you can keep it for a life time.....well almost!

This is one of only 2 they make that I can stand:
www.lian-li.com

And the things is with cases, you get bored with the same one.
I change mine when I'm sick of it's looks.

Currenty I have this:

www.overclockers.co.nz
With some small mods. Where the writing is on the front I now have claws, with green scales on the legs.

And the same on the side crossbar thingy.

Until I get sick of green.......

Cant say I like the lian li you linked.....you case isnt too bad, nice vents in the front..havent seen those before, what is it....

I think the v2000 is my favourite because the case is such understated class...

Well it's like art. Or interior design.
You like what you like.
I don't like too much minimalism which most of the Lian-Lis are.
Don't like too much bling either though cause then it's just tacky.
Its a fine line between pretty enough for a gaming case and over the top.

My current one is a STEEL :horrified Raidmax Smilodon.

I hated the writing on it - hence my claws.......
Raidmax unfortunately doesn't have nifty cable management down the back of the motherboard plate or suchlike but its roomy enough to create your own - well to a point. The crossbar was a slight pain. Re-did a number of times.

Pity we can't design our own and send it in to the manufacturer for them to make.......haha......


And which, I would ask the graphics card manufacturers to make them backwards so the pretty design on the HSF is UP in the case instead of pointing down where you can't see it. :yuck:

Aaaaa, the silverstones and Lian Li's have this sorted with the mobo upside down and on the right hand side...well, some do!

795578 2009-07-27 19:52:00 Get the Antec Skeleton, probably the easiest case for cooling on the market today :banana gary67 (56)
795579 2009-07-27 21:29:00 Cooling is awesome but practicality is not...:p Blam (54)
795580 2009-07-27 22:07:00 :p

The cat would almost certainly sit on it.

And imagine spilling your drink!! :horrified

795581 2009-07-27 22:56:00 Would a 120*360mm radiator fit in the top of the TJ-10?

Looking here (techgage.com)it seems like it will, and reasonably tidily too.

795582 2009-07-28 01:03:00 I really want a Silverstone Raven (www.anandtech.com) Looks cool and the mounting of the mobo is interesting Krisby5 (13221)
795583 2009-07-28 12:21:00 I have to say cooling is a big drive with Silverstone and the upsdie down motherboard is a great idea as it allows isolation of the internal areas, not to mention getting to see your video cooling assembly. SolMiester (139)
