Well after going to a lan on the this weekend, i cant see me likeing my hq08 full tower much anymore because simply its just too f***ing heavy. Anywayz im currently looking at a few nice cases and would like some opinions on which ones to buy :D

Number 1: Macase midtower case - BLACK with USB/Firewire Front Panel

Number 2: XSONIC Midtower Case with Window

Number 3: Antec LANBOY midtower case - Grey Aluminium

Number 4: Skyhawk MATRIX midtower Case - Aluminium

At the moment i would be leaning towards the lan boy or the maxtrix midtower. What do you fellas recommend and what are your experiences with them? Thanks for the help :D and also just a little note to anyone interested case is for sale on the sold forums and ocau forums.

go for the lanboy

Macase is nice ... same case as i have
Very happy with it

XSONIC: cant be that good if u cant find a pic for it =)

Lanboy: ppl seem to like them
Few pics from a thread on OCAU
The light is a neon though, not a cold cathode i believe ... dunno how bright itd be

$190 is a rad price though, comes with a kickass PSU, 350W antec! WIN

(you sold your cathodes? i want another :D)

Skyhawk, dunno anything about em ... $235 .. meh

ya the lan boy is a mad case

Lanboy without a doubt. The Matrix is good from the outside, a little shoddy from the inside.

none !

the new alienware case


it > *

LANBOY IT IS :D

k, now tell him a price and how to buy one exis
bet ya cant

hrmm

good point :|

Lan boy looks like a rip off of the Vapochill cases

Similarity where?

that aint the case, theres more than 1 brand heme :)

well thats the typical one i think of when i hear vapo...

lanboy,


macase are old old old. Eveyone has one that looks similar.

yes, but not everyone is gonna have lanboys :D

its a cruel cylce, and u can never beat it :D

ah i think it was the asetek i was thinking off, the white version, doesnt really look anything like it, i hadnt seen it in a while :)

Anyway id say go for the lanboy, has 4 cool LED spots on the front for activity n shiz
Also this lil shiznit

protect all you lil goodies inside at those LANS :)

there hell lite, well so i here.

wouldnt go with that top case ways a tone

i am also looking for a decent case but my budget is only $150 - can anyone recommend a good case for that?

Does it need a PSU?

yes
and btw, i dont give a s*** about weight

finding $40 more would be a good idea :D
Cause i always go for quality ... and the PSU i would recommend is $140 alone

/me hugs Antec

you are always bragging about the antec psu's hemerage we got the point already!@#$%^&*

ok so if i found $40 more what would you suggest?

a lanboy..

good case, good 350W PSU, and a neon i think :D

i am also looking for a decent case but my budget is only $150 - can anyone recommend a good case for that?

f*** off blue, this is my thread

lol, things change.
dont live in the past
(btw, i bid on your "heavy" case)

f*** off blue, this is my thread

there there children, i'm sure you can share a thread.

Fishwick u d*******

Did it ever consider to you that

A.) you have already decided on a case, thus you dont need "your" thread anymore

B.) If we were to give someone advice, you could also use it to aid your decisions (even though you already made yours)

C.) your a d*******

hey fishwock i found some picks of the number 2 that you asked for if you happen to change your mind.

also check out this site for anyone else that is looking for a case:

oh and hemerage, is there any reason why i shouldnt get the "Millennium" steel case instead of the lanboy?

because it will save me 100 bux...

sancho - how much was that case u just posted?

cause...

a.) they look s*** :D
b.) probably a s***ty yum-cha PSU

buying quality is always better, less hassle, and probably cheaper in the long run

i dont know i just googled the name of the case then posted some pics. have a look around at the usual places. i dont even know if that site listed any prices at all.

That looks like absolute s***

looks hell cheap

bad luck blue flamez i checked their contact details and they ar elocated in Canada.

lol no worries, ive narrowed down my desicion:

*Millenium Case w/ 350w PSU ($95)
*Antec LANBOY w/ 350w PSU + light ($190)
*Fishwicks so called "heavy" case w/ 350w PSU +fan? ($150)

oh and hemerage, is there any reason why i shouldnt get the "Millennium" steel case instead of the lanboy?

forget about the millennium cases dude, we sell these at work, they are s*** all over, i've even cut my self a few times on one of these :(

i dont care about the looks of the millenium case, i just need something with a working power supply and good functionality from the front (usb port/heaphones etc) - but even thats not a necessity if its going to cost me extra $

SO, why are you after a new case if you dont care about looks?

2nd PC?

yeah im getting a new pc

whats the millenium thinger post a pic of that
