Hello all.

With my new system on the way in around 4 weeks time, ive been looking at (particularily) computer cases.
Now, my room is been decorated and refitted before i buy the new computer. And ive found that the computer will be on the floor in this new refit (to save space), so i wont need a windowed PC because it will be a waste of time and money, simply because i wont be able to see it.

Im looking for a medium - large sized, GOOD quailty,

I brought a Jeantech Butterfly V2 for my new rig. It's big and black, looks quite cool and has lots of holes for fans. The size makes assembling the innards quite easy too.

It is rather nice. I brought an 8" fan for the front not knowing that it lit up blue when supplied with power that looks pretty neat as well. Now the whole thing kind of emits an electric blue light which goes unappreciated cause it's stuffed under my desk. I can't remember exactly what I paid but it certainly wasn't more than

Personally I use the Thermaltake Soprano, and love it. If you watched the video, you saw how easy it is to work inside (with one hand tied behind your back none the less). Anyway heres my case suggestions

1. RaidMax Scorpio 668 Bout $50

2. ThermalTake Soprano about $80 for the windowed virsion

3. Lian Li PC65 $120 Worth every penny. I would look at the V-1000 if you really want to show off

4. Silverstone Anything $60~$400 Silverstone are just as amazing as Lian Li. However most are for Home media centres, so choose wisely.

I go for whatevers cheapest and will fit my hardware... it's whats inside that counts  ;D

kipman sinks a bucket from mid-court on that one!

I use a Jeantech Phoong. It has 2x120mm case fans a dust filter and ducted side vent. All for around

Looks like a neat case  :)

I use this case: Antec
I am very happy with this case.  It has quick opening sides.  The front cover can be released quickly and easily so putting drives in the front is easy, these slide in on rails.  Also the hdd cage can be removed from the case aswell as the fdd cage.  This makes fitting the motherboard easy.  Also fitting hdds and fdds is easy.  The hdd cage has rubber gromits to reduce vibration.  The case also comes with a 120mm tri-speed case fan and 2 front usb 2.0 ports.  There are two vents on the side, 1 for the gfx card(s) and 1 for the cpu.  The cpu vent has a nozzle on it but it does not always line up with some cpus, however this is not a problem, i can still feel the air being drawn in from both these vents, so they are working very well.  The front case air vents have a filter to catch dust and fluff.
