what's the sexiest case for under £100?

ATX only pls

 

[mesarectifier]

Personally I think there's nothing sexier than a generic £15 beige case that you modify to your own design...

Hmm, ThermalTake Tsunami? Quite nice.

Perhaps a delicious Lian Li? What sort of thing do you like? Does it need to come with a PSU?

 

[Pompeii]

Sorry, but that is a matter of opinion. Can't really help you.

 

[Starmonger]

dont need a psu. so far out of all the ones ive looked at, my favourite are:

i would like a stylish one like the dragon one, but most others seem a little bit tacky looking. The clear blue UV one is probably my favourite so far though. ill keep looking

 

[mesarectifier]

Okay well those both look absolutely disgusting. So what your question should be is 'what's the worst looking, but most expensive case I can get for under £100'

Man, I don't think I've seen a worse looking case than one of those dragon ones.

 

[Starmonger]

fair enough lol. anyway keep the ideas coming people

I tend to agree with MesaRectum (although not in such a rude way). Personally (and obviously this is all personal taste) I prefer simpler 'elegant' designs. I love the Lian-Li cases, although most of them are quite expensive. I use an Antec (can't remember which) that has a beautiful black finish and also comes with a 350W PSU that is pretty decent and it was (i think) about $150 CAD.

Well I have to agree somewhat with the last two posters. Those cases are not something I would personally buy. However since you're open to suggestions anyway heres one that I really like : NXZT Apollo. Its "different" which you're obviously going for yet not garrish or too out there(in my opinion).

This case has had nothing but positive reviews from what I've seen and since I'm considering purchasing it for my next build I've read every review I could find You can get it with a 400w power supply for about $30 more I think too if you need it.

Lian-Li PC-V1000A PLUSII

Check out www.xoxide.com they have some unique cases that you might be interested in. They carry most of the usual suspects (Lian Li, Thermaltake, etc.) but also they have some that that customized and put their own brand name on.

 

[gm0n3y]

Has anybody used (or heard anything about) this case before: http://www.aerocool.us/p-case/extremengine3t/extremengine3t.htm

I am mostly interested in the cooling. It has a 25cm fan intake on the side! And with the turbine looking intake on the front, it must have some crazy cooling, or is it just a gimmick?

Looking at the specs, they don't list any exhaust fans. Cases are supposed to have exhaust >= intake, so what gives?

Here's a Lian Li PC Case with an aquarium on the side:

Are fish sexy enough for you???

 

[Starmonger]

nice! i like the idea of the fishes. Also i came across that extremeengine case which looks good to, though i see your point. ill look for some review on it. This case is pretty sexy http://www.xoxide.com/sunbeam-blue-led-uv-clear-case.html

im thinking of maybe getting an acrylic case though stil not sure

 

[JQB45]

I like this one.

sorry went a little over on price...

119.99+16.xx shipping (continental US)

 

[gm0n3y]

That fish one is awesome. I wonder if you could get another Lian-Li case (I like some of their other ones more) and buy that side panel for it.

 

[rwpritchett]

Someone should invent, or build, a case that has a lava-lamp like effect in the side window with UV reactive globules. I would buy that.

 

[KTev]

Lava lamp is a bad idea. They produce to much heat.

I say build your own. Wood and plastic are easy to work with and the wood will give great audio dampening. Using sheet metal is more of a challenge but might be well worth the effort.

 

[Starmonger]

Finally found one im happy with,

http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=1255873#1255873

ill either go with this or get one of those UV reactive see through cases

Man, I don't think I've seen a worse looking case than one of those dragon ones.

/agree

I tend to agree with MesaRectum (although not in such a rude way).

Well that was hardly neccessary now was it.
