You dont need this

£4.95 x 1 - Western Digital Secure Connect Serial ATA Cable (CB-000-WD)

I'd have personally got a different case for the price, perhaps a Lian-Li which looks much more attractive than the shark

Yewen · 17 Apr 2006 at 23:38

Yeh I would have gone for the PC7+ case. Cheaper and better in my opinion.

Why doesn't he need that? have you seen the SATA cables there poop.

And I am sorry but ho could anyone like the look of a plain boreing
Lian-Li? or even the horrible cooler master cases.

Please tell me you're joking?! *Waits for Yewen to read this*

The Lian-Li cases have to be the nicest cases on the market IMO, or the Wavemaster. Simple yet ******* sexy.

You didn’t see that

. I got suspended for a week for saying the f word; I think it’s a bit ridiculous that people can't act like adults. It is not like 5 year old kids that have never heard a swear word in the life read this section.

I am sorry but you have to be insane, they look like the cases I had 5 years ago, just plain and boring. The effect and design on the thermal take cases are great.

Yewen · 18 Apr 2006 at 00:16

Looks are personal, build quality is not.

Speaking purely objectively here now, the Lian Li cases and the ATCs cases are the best built ones around. Period.

Looks are subjective, and each to their own, but you buy a 'great' looking case, and get bored of it after a few months; with a Lian Li or ATCs they are with you for years, same with Cheify cases, users on here who got the cases as far back as 2000 still using them to hold there main rigs. Like to see a Thermaltake do that while looking like new after 6 years of use

Anyhow; eat my subjective response.

Three completely different cases, all of which I like, subtle, classy, and timeless cases.

That's a good thing

The cases 5 years ago > Cases now

Yewen · 18 Apr 2006 at 00:17

No, its because thoose Lian Li basic cases were around 5 years ago.

Buy it 5 years ago, and its STILL going strong.

NO, NONE, EVER; gaming cases can match the PC7 and PC*0 series for the service length.

And now they've been fitted with 120mm fans, they've got stunning looks and great cooling performance too

Sam666 · 18 Apr 2006 at 00:21

I wouldn't care if gameing cases lost there shine in 6 years you would have bought a different one by then. them cases look old and boreing, I would show my sexy setup if I cleaned up the wires. Anyway back to the WD serial Ata connector

Does the shark have 4 120mm fans or 2?

I will show you when I clean the outside a little and do some long awaited soldering. Cables are not tidy though.

You agreed to the no swearing rule when you signed up. This is a family forum, but regardless, it is not yours to neither make nor question any of the rules - you just have to decide if you can live with them or not.

You're quite welcome to email a moderator if you want to discuss anything - including the rules - but *that* is the way to broach the subject, *not* by taking threads off topic.

Yewen · 18 Apr 2006 at 00:36

Show the pictures now, you can't say that my case choice is boring, without firing some pictures into the fray.

I will just post some more ATCs cases and end this debate if your not careful.
