the second one down...

i dont know if i want this or not. i read a review somewhere that it takes ATX and BTX, but then again it says extended ATX. i might be on about another case...

still, the price is £90, and...thats alot of money for a case...but it looks sooo cool when the panel is of the side! in a strange way it reminds me of akira

i use put in some acoustic padding in this case, and i kinda messed it up. the padding goes around the sides and is hard too get off, and the case wont go back together properly but the cable management worked great, but its time for a new case.

anyone know of a better case around that price, ( hopefully cheaper! ) which kicks arse? otherwise i will be buying this one, and i dont want that.

Edit: there HAS too be a 120mm on the back for exhaust. this has too be, no exceptions ( unless its a....160mm or somthing )

In a recent PC Gamer magazine they reveiwed 4 cases, so you might be intrested in what come 1st with 91%! it was the Xaser V Damier V5000 :



If ya want a case, why not get the best .

lol, well...maybe. but somthing lower then that. i mean, i dont have much money, but enough. i dont plan on buying anything else, and i have £100 of insurence for the PC incase any components bugger up. otherwise i have around £120.

Edit : found it on vadim.co.uk for £87

... and neither case conforms to EC standards.

Looks pretty though, dont it.

I actually have been quoted as recommending a 'cardboard box', but its insulation is too good in that you have a hell of a job dissipating the heat, though it is easy to mod'.

However, my "pride-n-joy" is housed in a Chieftec case, I really do like them, on my third. Nettie (the wife) has the second and my daughter has the first one I bought.

You can't buy them direct off Chieftec, but OverClock ... or is that OverClockers ... sell them, as do one of my suppliers, CCL.

Pretty good prices too.
