Buy another case same as old one!

Hey Guys,

A couple of years ago I bought a Custom Built PC - I chose the case etc.

Now I would like to build a PC myself and love my current case, but I also want to keep my current setup as another PC.

I would love to get hold of the same case but haven't got it's details. I've looks in and around the case for manufacturer details but can't find anything.

Any suggestions?

Glen.

Oh my, what a POS , I just bought a Akasa Mirage 62 and it's the best case I’ve ever had.

FFS - Isn't it just a matter of opinion?

Chagle, I think the point people are trying to make is that if you had a look at the other offerings you would find something you'd like more than your current case.

I half suspect you want to get the same case so that you can use your old PC as a guide when building the new one. If that's the case then it's just another argument to get a new, better, case as they tend to have removable motherboard trays and the like.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks - I take your point. This I will be looking into...

yea lads, give the guy a break lol !!

some people are Right in saying that there are better cases out there though. I don't like Lian li cases at all personally as i find that they are made to be too compact, and not pleasant to build in

removable mother board trays are not *that* special, but they do aid some builders i suppose.

but hey, if your not confident, were all hear to help im sure ! i can totally see why it may be a bit daunting to you building your own, but a newer, more modern case would probably make things a little easier for you

p.s that looks like an old case, but at the time it would have been the mutts nuts !
you look at old crappy cars, and clothing, TV's and all sorts and say the same thing... its just been made earlier than most things available now... thats all !

Thank you all. I just seemed a little picked on earlier and I'm quite attached to my old PC/Case :-)

I see the point, I've done a bit of research and of course much better cases out there. Trouble is.. so many to choose from!

Some look awesome too. Just got to decide..

I want a practical one as well as a 'nice looker' - Got to impress visitors you see. Love it if people were to say "what's that...?" .. then I reply, "O'that's my new PC" :-)

How much would you like to spend on a new case? You can get nice looking cases with a decent spec for around £30/£35, Akasa Zen and the Antec SLK3000B for example.

Hi All,

So many good recommendations. I'm willing to pay £100 (up to) for a nice look, practical case! :-)
