Yeah, we old text user interface lovers are categorized next to fossils.

so what your want, is 0 lights

Wrong, power indicator is needed because you would need to be close to PC to hear it and you don't see flashy LEDs and fans running inside it.
Also HDD activity indicator is needed because without that you don't know if there's just lot of HDD activity going on instead of OS having crashed and stopped responding.

I run an SSD and have no disk light connected, so I can't see or hear if the disk is responding or not. The lack of activity on screen is usually enough of a giveaway

no! lian li still not doing anything for me!
im not looking for uber-conservative just not super tacky glitter boxes that look like they were made on blue peter!

 

[TK421]

TBH i dont think there is a case for grown ups as i am 36 and have the antec twelve hundred,wife,kids,mortgage,job! personal choice not grown up choice!

That would be Lian Li again, or more accurately the V series. Slightly more interesting but still with excellent build quality. Also have a look at Soldam if you've got the cash to import one.

A case for a grown up? I'm an old fart and I love my Coolermaster atcs 840

 

[Fledge]

I hate lights too hence why people love the antec 900, 900-2 and 1200.

MMMMM LIGHTS.

Actually Lian Li fails in that by being black and not beige.

And if it's door then get noisier direct noise escape path model:

Get a Lian Li PC-V1110b.

why dont manufacturers make stylish fashionable cases that dont look like the computer equivalent of a boy racers car?

because of people like this:

how can thermaltake cases be rubbish i have had my eyes on thease cases for donkeys years they make great cases people who critasize them should keep quiet if this is the case and overclockers have removed them il just buy them elsware if this is the hassle it causes jeesus christ

lian li, silverstone and antec (sonata 1-3 and p182/mini 180) make nice stylish, functional cases

*Looks at TJ07*

Hmmmmm TJ07....

 

[smilertoo]

I would go with silverstone, my lian li is quite thin material and rattles a bit.

If Lian Li A71 isn't enough conservative looking then you need square beige coloured box:
