I built a system in January, and need to build another one. I like glowing cases with lots of pretty lights. My case is Thermaltake Overseer RX-I
http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_...

I keep looking for another cool glowing case with nice "bodywork", and do not see anything new. Some Corsair cases that have no lights to them- low sound type, but nothing new and exciting for gaming. I am wondering if new cases will be released at a time of new processors and motherboards.

I was looking at Element V Black Edition. I like it because it changes the Fan led colors. (I know it is silly- it will be under my desk, but still..." But the "bodywork" is very basic and boring. http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/products-model_gallery.as...

Should I hope for new cases or but something now before prices went up because everybody will build with new Haswell?

Any coll cases with lights ideas? (Under 21" high). Thank you.

I like Azza 9000 a lot, I like red lights, but the size of 25.1"x9.8"x23.2" will not fit under my desk. Can only go up to 21". Also I probably need mid-tower, does not have to be full size, as it will only have 2 drives.

Thank you for the links. I liked the first one, Sentey Extreme Division GS-6700 Spider Plus but I do not want another blue lights case. Want red, so that it will look like Police lights under my desk. Lol- no- actually- it is a down side of having red and blue set up. I also think- red looks like a red light or break lights on a car. I like color-changing fans. Do you know any cases that have good architecture but no fans included? Um... let me take that back, because then I would not know what fan goes what direction and will have it all wrong. I just want front fan changing colors- any thoughts? I am seriously considering smaller Thermaltake Element G http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/products-model_gallery.as... but other than lights- it is ugly case. And there is no USB 3.0 on a front panel. And this is their newest product.

You can always just buy a case like

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

and buy 3 of these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

And put two in the front pushing air in, and one in the back pushing air out.

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess, it could work. Can not tell if this Corsair's front transperant enough to see the lights through. Also the case is pretty ugly, and it would take more money to buy all other fans... I hope aqll companies would open new product lines with new processors release- did it happened in the past? I find it strange that no new cases was released in last 6 months- I still see the same models as in December-January.

I don't know how long things are considered new, but this is newegg's new product list:

My Corsair 600T White picture from the front to give an idea how much light gets through.
In this picture at the bottom front is the 200mm stock fan with white led it looks blue because of my blue cathodes.
The blue at the top is a Blue led fan mounted at the rear exhaust and it would be brighter but at the top front I have a plain black fan that obscures the light.
Also a side view to show inside.

Giltyler, I was not refering to your pictures. Lol- we cross-posted. Thanks for the pictures- it looks awesome.

Austin, thank you for turning me to Sentey cases. I was about to say that I found my next case, but it is discontinued on Newegg and never heard of on Tiger.
http://www.sentey.com/en_productos_details.php?tipo=Gab... Division&prod=gs-6600-wolf
If it takes you to select country page- the model is Wolf.
New Egg discontinued link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
It could be replaced by the one you posted earlier which I did not like that much. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Also what ya think about this Gygabite case? This one is ok- I do not see 2.5 adapters for SSD- need that. They had another case I liked on their web site, but I also can not find it anywhere in USA. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

The problem with Aerocool is that they have this large X on almost every case- makes me superstitious.

What you guys think about this one? Looks like it could be "the one". Am I missing something? Will the led light go through enough? Also- 534mm (D) x 226mm (W) x 502mm (H) looks like 19.8"- can work for my desk.
http://www.aerocool.us/pgs/pgs-b/mechatron_b.htm Looks like it only includes 2 fans and no SATA port. Have you ever used Outlit PC site to order parts? Is it safe? http://www.outletpc.com/zs6827-mechatron-black-aerocool...

Which one you like better- this one or the Wolf http://www.sentey.com/en_productos_details.php?tipo=Gab... Division&prod=gs-6600-wolf# Thank you.

I just bought the AeroCool Mechatron Gaming Mid-Tower Chassis for $105. 00. Any objections? lol. I could wait longer- have another months before the release, but I figured- this is fine. If I see something else- will be excuse to build another system. Now when I figure out how many fans comes with it (I think- only front and rare), I can buy other colors fans for top and sides. Not that I have place to put it where it visible any way... and I already have card reader, so it is not an issue. SATA I may miss- so far- I did not use it on my Thermaltake... Thanks for the suggestions. Now I need fans :)

I will start new thread about fans, as I need help to figure out what goes where. Thanks.


That would be in cases/powersupplies questions.

And I feel you about being picky with cases

I own the Zalman Z11 and I think its ugly now.
