Blue PC case

possum · 10 Feb 2006 at 12:10

My friend says he wants to upgrade his pc from a cheap value case to a better case but it has 2 be blue does any1 know of any???

Cheiftec Dragon.

Only good one out there.

Unless you pay £400 for a anodised Lian Li, what is your budget?

possum · 10 Feb 2006 at 12:19

well he says he'll spend up to £65

Yewen · 10 Feb 2006 at 12:23

That limits it down slightly...

A Cheiftec case would be a good bet, or would you be willing to get a superior case in black / silver and then put blue cathodes into it to make it 'glow'.

possum · 10 Feb 2006 at 12:25

well hes quite partial to a silver case so this could be an option

Yewen · 10 Feb 2006 at 12:27

Well then!

Antec Super Lanboy with cathodes.

Fits in the budget and is a nice case.

Or if you are willing to buy bits and go over by £20. Lian Li PC7+ which is a fantastic case.

hes says "the lian li pc7 looks plain" don't worry he has paid for his insolence

but he likes the super lan buy

Its a very good case; can get a mint one second hand for £40 + del very easily and they can be picked up new for £60.

Hope that helps, there are a lot of Lanboy users on OcUK and I know someone with one; it is a cracking case for the money.

However I would say the plain PC7+ at its price is better value than a new Lanboy.

I totally agree with u but its his case and it his choice

Yewen · 10 Feb 2006 at 12:42

Yeh cases are a very personal choice

I just would take the Lanboy second hand in mint condition, much better value for money.

Asus Vento is available in Blue, over his budget though. No PSU so need to add that to the cost.

It also has terrible cooling, is built poorly and looks, well.

The threads on it were deleted put it that way.

he has a psu so u don't need 2 add that cost

I would really stress to keep you away from the Vento.

It is diabolical. It is a move sideways from your current generic value case.

Only change is the appearance. Just wait for more people to pop in agreeing with me about the Vento really.

(And that is stress about anything, just to keep you away from it. You will not be happy with it if you have used any genuinely good cases before.)

Yeah I wonder why? :rolleyes:

possum · 10 Feb 2006 at 13:12

that case is really poor

Yewen · 10 Feb 2006 at 13:16

They were deleted as there was no interest in them, the only thread was a MY GOD! one.

Where everyone, from Tt users to Lian Li people just said. No.

And when you see one in real life it just oozes overpriced cheapness.

Theres already a 5th

And it was a girl

Enough off topic the Lanboy is an excellent choice and far better than the vento

Yewen · 10 Feb 2006 at 16:43

Raikiri you cant stop people from taking the wotsits out of the Vento, its a unwritten law and why the case was designed.

And how do you know that much about Ninja Turtles

This thread needs the pictures of your lanboy to offset the Vento really.
