I agree with OP. That 201 looks gorgeous.

Although the ATC 110 was my favourite I think:

mmm now the 110 was one case that i could put up with a door for! I'm keeping my eye out now for another cm201 i think, but they are a bit old i think for them to show up on the used market too often

would like a 201 myself to do a cheap build in.

The one time I spent a lot on a case, I got this:

In retrospect, it was a sad day when I skipped it.

I personaly think the Lian Li PC-A17 is pritty much the only decent mid tower out. But it is a touch on the bland side.

LED fetstooned 'Gamer' cases are the future it seems.

Just swapped my rig out of my ATC 110 into an Antec 300. The 110 just could'nt keep the temps down

Nope, don't think so. Wouldn't use it myself, unless I went back in time to 1994

It still looks loads better than any stacker, it may not perform as well but that's not what this thread is about

Gordyhand was the one who turned me onto aluminum cases

Everytime I saw his mods my jaw just hit the deck!

Their classy and well designed but they are so fragile its a joke. I actually scratched a black lian li with a callous I had on my hand.

I've only had contact with the a17 and pc-7 but i'm not impressed at all.

I'd just had enough of it tbh, too big and heavy too ebay.

Lovely case though, nice brushed alluminium front.

I know what you mean. I had an HTPC case, it cost a fortune but it was simply a solid block of aluminium on the front of a steel case. Ridiculously heavy.

Best

Case

Ever!

agreed have a black watercooled version and its gorgous case to work with and build in to

Malt_Vinegar · 2 Sep 2008 at 11:12

I still use my Coolermaster 210 Azure.
Prettiest case ever made

It was when OCUK first got them, and they retailed for 240quid. I had to wait weeks for it t come into stock too after pre-paying iirc!

Anyone at OCUK know when they came in? Its got to be 2000-2001ish? Its been used daily since then.

The problem of using a HTPC cases are that they are often more noisy than a desktop. Its annoying that soo many have the sleek look to them that desktops in the current era are lacking - or at least within my price range.
