Your vote counts - Black or White (Akasa Zen)

mishima · 10 Feb 2007 at 20:48

With the expert advice of Yewen I will be purchasing a Akasa Zen very shortly. What I'm really stuck with is which colour to go for, they both look really nice and I'm just struggling to make the decision. So It's down to you guys:

WHITE:

BLACK:

VOTE NOW!

Black (as I've just installed a black one myself). The wife has just said the white looks more like a fridge

.

Alex R · 10 Feb 2007 at 21:34

I'd go for the white one - it looks different.

MeatLoaf · 10 Feb 2007 at 21:40

Black, and there back in stock

Mark A · 10 Feb 2007 at 22:11

I think the black one looks best. The white one also looks pretty good but you cant beat black imo.

WotDa · 10 Feb 2007 at 22:15

Black, the white is trying to be something its not imo.

Yewen · 10 Feb 2007 at 22:43

The white is trying to be something it is not, but it is unusual so it would be the one I would get for my second Zen.

Black goes with more PC gear as white is almost exclusively mac, so black would probably be the best choice.

white looks nice, but it will get dirty fast, and dust will really show, in that respect blck (or silver with other cases) beats white hands down, however the white looks nice and unusual, it would go nice in a light room (eg walls painted whitish etc)

Given the fact that most PC equipment like keyboard, mouse and LCD are generally dark in color - Id have to say Black.

mishima · 10 Feb 2007 at 23:02

I think the Black is probably going to be the best option, monitor is black/silver, speakrs, keyboard are black and sub is black. Would probably look a bit odd with a white case to be honest - even though it does look quite attractive that case.

It's going in this room with this hardware:

Just needs the old tights stretched over for a filter.

Black. Only Macs really get away with white, and even then only because pretentiousness is their charm

Looks an absolute mess doesn't it? When I get the new case its going to be nice and tidy. Hoping I can knock off some degrees too!

Yewen · 11 Feb 2007 at 12:54

Your scaring me with the amount of identical gear you have to me.

Loving the Creative NX Pro webcam or whatever it is called, also the monitor.

It should run cooler, but I will be going for run at the same temperature but quieter.

mishima · 11 Feb 2007 at 12:59

Hehe!

Thats the one, Creative NX Pro has been a good camera over the years that for the money it was bought for.

What system spec's you got in yours Yewen? Decided I'm goin for the black

Yewen · 11 Feb 2007 at 13:52

No longer have one, but what went in it initially was a 2400xp + ti4800 rig.

Later it had a 3000 venice + 6800gt in it, did both rigs justice easily.

I am a sucker for more expensive cases

o) so I did not put my main rig in it as I had only just got the S80b when I got the Zen.

Hades · 11 Feb 2007 at 16:32

Black. White looks like it's trying to be a Mac.

WJA96 · 11 Feb 2007 at 16:43

Black I'm afraid. The white ones look ace with Apple 24" monitors though. Especially in 'designer' offices.
