I have been offered a good price on one of these cases and wondered if folks thought they were any good or knew of any bad points.

Thanks for the technical review Stryker! :lol:

Seems to be liked and comes with a shed load of fans in the reviews I saw. Out of interest, what do you mean by a 'good price'?

Lots of pictures here:

I guess it depends on what the price is, but you can get an aluminium case with windows and fans for a similar retail amount - so it depends on what you want..... personally for retail monry I'd get the Lian Li 6089A.........but then I already did

Â£80 is the price. I thought that was quite reasonable myself. Am just wondering if my media xp pro would fit in behind the door on the front though. could always resses it I suppose.

Â£80 is a good price for that case....... but it depends on what you want. If that's the right type of case for you, then go for it. But if you hanker after something else then you'll still end up buying a different case at a later date. Very subjective decision. Your call

but the frontage looks like a slot machine!

makes me thirsty thinking of pushing 50p in that slot and getting a nice cool coke.

Haven't you heard - Aluminium is out..... Cream is this years Aluminium

Ok I'll have a slot cut into the case and you can spend the lan party pushing 50ps into if you want Stryker

i agree with strykers asthetic judgements,

just get a nice li - lanli or a standard case and mod it yourself it will look much better

sheepy · January 22, 2003, 06:37:27 PM

if u have 2 have pre modded this one is pretty cool and not to expensive.

Yes I was looking at that one but the Â£157.00 price tag put me off. I think its available on scan for about Â£20 cheaper. The other option is one of these with the optional side panel with a window in.

Only Â£83.00 and the window is Â£28.00 which is within my budget. Foud a review in the archive on Heatseekerz and they seem to like it and it does look nicer than the Thermaltake case.

Oh desicions desicions.....

a m8 of mine bought this one at i12. its a damn good case. good cooling options and very very sturdy, if not a bit heavy.

smilodon · January 22, 2003, 09:44:58 PM

Now that looks good. I'd buy that one.

Gh0st Face Killah · January 22, 2003, 09:52:58 PM

For a dollar?

Just when you think you have made your mind up along comes something else
