Junior Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 I know this is the modding forum... But you don't have a Regular forum for cases, unless I missed it. Anywho.... I was thinking I already have a case, although it's currently being used afaik by a friend.(unless he finally got a longer power switch cord:P) Soooo.. Lian Li PC-70, or a Antec KS 188 Or if you have a case in mind... I'm all ears. Thanks edit: I'll add this one to the list. Not sure on the price just yet. http://www.thermaltake.com/products/cases/6000.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 do you really need to ask, i think the Lian Li would be great if you have the cash, then go out and buy a 330-400w truepower by antec and you'll be set. look @ newegg they actually have a Chieftech case sub 100 and i think it comes with ps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iroc Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 Im really happy with my Lian Li. The antec case doesnt seem all that. Also i noticed the Lian Li newegg link showed a refurbished case, i wouldnt buy that, they dont care if its missing stuff and u could get one with a bunch of missing parts.

Rbreb13 Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 I like chieftech cases.. are they not the original designers of what everyone now calls "Alienware" Case. Actually, I think its Chenming that makes the cases. That are then rebadged by Chieftec, Alienware and Antec. I like Chieftec cases myself. For a cheap case they really are full featured. Lots of room. I got this one for $68 shipped from Newegg a while back. I did do some mods as far as the 2 side intakes and the top blow hole.

Bruceleeon Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 yeah.. pcmods has it at a great price.. but when i purchased it, i bought it from mpcparts.com they had the best price at the time.. still do in many cases... (no pun intended) but i trust pcmods.. i have purchased many things from them and have had no problems.. PLUS they are based in melbourne fl.... a hop skip and a jump away from you!!!!

Junior Posted October 12, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 Thanks for the link. 189 is not much to me... I will pay for good quality products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruceleeon Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 another nice case is the Aopen HQ-08.. you might remember that case.. the one i had before the lian li... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 dont forget Thermaltake Xaser cases, i saw a couple today and i must say they were very very sweet looking but its just all eye candy. Iroc, i think you said antec didn't have much frills ors omething? well i like antec because of that, i dont need any extra frills asthetically but antecs come with features that help cooling and ease of use.. (cept mobo tray) they look okay cases and are nothing fancy, and thats what i mainly like about them beacuse its just a regular solid case. just tryin to defend antec here! but im sure the other cases r great, go for the Lian Li!!!!!!!

Bruceleeon Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 I don't like that case.. if you want a snazzy case.. buy a regular case and mod it.. it is much more satisfying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbreb13 Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 I don't like that case.. if you want a snazzy case.. buy a regular case and mod it.. it is much more satisfying.I agree. I don't quite like the looks of the Xaser's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if you are a DIY type person. for the Ones who just want a quick fix, that one looks to be a good alternative to doing it yourself. If i actually ever get into modding my case... I'm a hardware person myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 If I brought that to one of my LAN's, they would boot me before I got it hooked up. Nuttin' but homebrew allowed, which is why I haven't done anything to mine yet, no skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsgolfman Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 I had toyed with mods before, but have settled on the basic black look. I belive the only mod I would consider now would be that sweet COD case badge design lasered into my side panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruceleeon Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 That is an idea... when i get the new lian li... maybe i will cut that into the side for the window.>!!! that would be Schweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
