Windy cases

kablooey · 23 Jan 2010 at 21:46

I've wanted one for years!

Any chance Ocuk stocking Windy cases in future? They are exporting them worldwide from March, don't want to post a link as I'm not sure if it counts as a competitor but I'm sure Yewen knows what I'm talking about

You would spend probably over £300 on a case? :eek:

On a Soldam... possibly

They are amazing cases but rarly seen outside of Japan.

My personal favorite: The Black Knight

Looks awesome, but that sure is a lot of notes.

DIABLO · 24 Jan 2010 at 11:24

Looks ok but nothing special in my eyes, pretty poor cooling potential and i would almost call the front slightly tacky.

Check out the cooling system in the tower cases:

Some of them cost $1000 for the basic chassis without optional extras. I know some hardcore Japanophiles who would see these as a serious I-love-Japan-more-than-you-do willy-waver though.

Nice cases but no windows!

Ducky Spud · 24 Jan 2010 at 13:33

Look very nice and some intresting ideas in the larger cases. Hope the prices are a bit lower than said though, thats a bit too much for me

Buying a cheap case for an Overclocked i7 system is like putting a formula 1 V10 engine in a Austin Allegro Vanden Plas.

DavyBoy · 24 Jan 2010 at 14:44

Is that anodizing on the inside of the case?

Looks really nice, I've never even heard of these cases before until now.

Ducky Spud · 26 Jan 2010 at 17:46

Yea, all the cases are anodized some colour inside, blue, red etc, Looks nice

Yes please

Nice. Not that i'll ever afford one.

capriboy1978 · 26 Jan 2010 at 19:44

I could get a batch milled up if people were interested? Not offering Mr OCuk! I haven;t had an in depth look but it wouldn't take much to have a stock lian-li or similiar looking like one of these.

Yes but! would you mod a case that cost's that much? i wouldn't. I'm in a middle of a build with 2 very cheap cases modded together to make one. Will do a build log soon taken pics at min. Both cases cost £20 each. Will cost about £150 with ali sheets/mesh and fans and be the same size as a ufo case.

I bet if you put a system from a £200 case in one of these Windy cases with air cooling, the temps would actually go up by a degree or two.

I'd love to be proved wrong, though.
