Hello! and thank you for taking a look at muh thred :D
Please pardon the typos in advance. I have big fingers, and a small keyboard lol.

to the point!

I am looking for a full tower atx case that is made of aluminum. with plenty of room, hence the full atx case.
I however do not want a typical square case. so, I do not desire a dell case simply made of aluminum.
something that looks good, strong and sturdy yet corrosion resistant just in case.
would prefer LC mounts for multiple rads. and wire management is a must.

I currently have an NZXT guardian RB 2.0 ( in blue) and the wire management is a joke. just not enough room between the second door that slides off and where the wires would go. horrible.

secondly, I also desire aluminum case fans, but with blue led's in them. I have been avble to find the fans, but not led's in them.

thirdly I am not too concerned with windows on the case. if they are there great! if not, its whatever.
no make or break as far as windows would go.


and FFS does anyone know what I can do to keep dust out of my rig?
I tried dryer sheets but the fall off the case rip easy etc.

looks like I am rambling again -.-
my bad.

any and all info is greatly appreciated <3
'

to sum it up.
big @$$ aluminum case that looks wicked.
blue led alumy fans.
wire management.

I live in Georgia where the summer temps are 90-105F with 80%-100% humidity. Now personally all my cases are kept in the air conditioned house but I have several friends with computers set up in garages or outbuildings for various reasons and I have seen them fill up with dirt but I have never seen any rust. Any good steel case is going to be finished to prevent rust.

As far as heat goes pretty much all the best cases are steel. That means the best cooling cases. The case itself is not going to get hot if your fans are working correctly.

Aluminum has better heat dissipation, is more sturdy and stronger overall and will not rust. even the steel will rust in a humid environment and as I live really close to the beach. about a 5 minute walk. aluminum is a must.
or do I have something wrong?

I had originally intended to mad a crapple mac pro case but soon found out that it would not be large enough nor would it have the desired bays for storage drives or burners.

Oh, I was not aware of the finishing to prevent the rust. thank you fior the information :)
Now that we are going to not be using aluminum, looks like just a big @$$ case with tons of room and some coolness too it.

A whole bunch of good ones to choose from. Antec, Corsair, Coolermaster, Thermaltake, Lian Li, Silverstone, Enermax, NZXT, Rosewill........you get the idea. Look for one you like then see first if it has any tech site awards. The good ones generally do. HardOCP, Hardwaresecrets, Tom's Hardware, Techpowerup.......and others. Then read newegg ( or wherever you buy from ) reviews. I count user reviews last unless there are a bunch about the same issue.

Once you find one you like and that has good reviews go here to find the best price.
