Oh, did you want comments on it? ( :wink: just messin' with ya, crashman). Looks cool and all, but it doesn't seem to me like a good subject for painting with my school colors, so it's just not my type. Cool, though.

If I had that case I'd have to mod it to hold more hard drives, but I liked the sidepanels and look so I thought I'd put it to you guys.

actually thats the only thing i didn't like about it, the lack of hard-drive cages (though i do like the placement of the ones it has)... also, why no full twr!!?!?!?!

personally i think it is ugly...but then again...i must have a strage taste for cases...

I just like a nice black antec case...i dunno...i think that really "bling bling" cases look cheesey...

If i put my k6 in a Ferrari it would be faster than your your pentium 4 or Athlon XP :tongue:

Yes, well I thought the bling factor was a little more subtle on this one.

I hate case doors.

so do i...i only like 3 antec cases...all of them have no case doors....

I used to like enermax cases...but now i see them as too blingy....

Other than that i am pretty picky about cases...i like my cases to have subtle beauty...hard to say and i know it sounds corny...but i hate a case that stands out...i want it to blend into the room...not be the focal point...

I like the classic black Inwin and Enlight cases, what do you think?

i do like enlight's plain 'ol black case (if you are talking about the one newegg has)...nice and simple...but still nice looking

I have never heard of inwin...i did a google search and went to there site...i like 1 of their cases it was atx and was a black case with silver face plates and front pannel...the only thing i don't like about it is i will have to probably do some airbrushing of faceplates to get my opticals to match the case...

I like the enlight case's pricing too...

No, I'm not talking about any cases on Inwin's site! I'm talking about an older model that they still produce but no longer advertise! <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=11-108-273-01.JPG/11-108-273-02.JPG/11-108-273-03.JPG/11-108-273-04.JPG/11-108-273-05.JPG/11-108-273-06.JPG/11-108-273-07.JPG" target="_new">Newegg's Pictures</A>, <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduct.asp?description=11-108-273&depa=1" target="_new">Newegg Details</A>. It's about the same price and has similar looks to the Enlight unit, but it has a PowerMan power supply, accepts a 92mm exhaust fan (IIRC), the verticle brace is actually a card holder, it has more internal drive bays, and, the biggest detail for me, you don't have to remove the face panel to remove the side panel.

Edit: Almost forgot, it also has a CPU cooling duct (quack).

WOW...a beautiful case with nice features and a decent powersupply...oh ya and the price!

Thanx for showing that to me...i wonder how that duct helps out?

Hmm...i hope they continue making it...cause the next time i build a system (sometime between january and next summer...depending on how things with the cpu market go) i will definitly consider both cases...

There is another style of that case at Newegg, and it's black, but it has silver painted trim that lookes like...silver painted plastic/fake aluminum. Yuck.

thats what i don't like...phoney cases...

Too many cases are using paint and lights and gay colors...to jazz up their cases...i look to enermax and their all lit up cases...i can't beleive i used to like em...

You can't believe you used to like them? Do you have rocks in your head?

Enermax used to use Chieftech cases (you know, like Antec), now they use some cheap thin crappy cases that costs around $35 from the original manufacturer.
