Case recommendations?

TheBlueDragon · 2 Nov 2010 at 20:35

Hi people,
I'm at my cousins for a week and he is building a computer and its made me want to build another. The only though is I dont really like new cases.

I've built one computer before years ago using a Lian Li PC65 silver aluminium case which I loved, but for some reason I sold it all.

I like cases with nice clean lines, the PSU at the top, a window and look good with blue neons

This is my old one

was going to suggest a Lancool dragon lord of some kind, but they seem to have disappeared from ocuk case listings.

The only problem is the psu is at the bottom and it would bug me having all the power cables in view. Unless I could find a way to hide them all

thats what the cable routing holes are for.

Are you wanting another PC65? If you are, you might want to message me in trust and have a chat. If not and you want to stay under £100 maybe the CM-690 II Adv. is for you. It has clean lines to an extent. I changed from a PC65 to a CM-690 to host a bigger heatsink and to basically have a change, but I still love myold PC65 I admit...

I can't decide if Id like anoyther PC65 or not haha. They are truly amazing cases but I don't know if I want silver again or a black case this time.

I been looking at the Lancool case and it does look cool its just even with the wire clips etc it would still bug me seeing the wiring for the PSU. I'm abit funny when it comes to seeing cables, but I do like windows haha

Hi people,
I've been looking at a Thermaltake M9 but just wondered what people think. I was thinking maybe buying the Lian Li above but think Ive already been there and done that lol.

The only bad things people seem to say on google is that it doesnt have a removeable motherboard tray which Ive nevere had to do anyway.

So what do you all think?

EDIT: i removed the link sorry

If you've had a Lian Li before, a Thermaltake case is definitely not something you will want. How much are you willing to spend?

You could get a new PC7.

Yes but all new Lian Li cases have the PSU at the bottom which I find right annoying as PSUs are ugly
