Thank you WJA96, I was getting worried there as I recommend the case on personal experience, and the positive feedback of a lot of people who have got back to me after getting one.
Was worried I had been recommending the case with a load of negatives I had never noticed before.
Same with any forum, people dislike cases and bandwagons form. OcUK's jump on the bandwagon is that nobody should buy a cheap case. Mainly because most of them are poor. (By cheap I mean £20 with psu).
The slight distaste towards Thermaltake on this forum (yes I am partly to blame) is semi justified as the cases are inferior to a equally priced lian li say, but they are by no stretch of the imagination bad cases. I also have never been 100% anti-thermaltake, I do recommend them when they are the best solution to a request, although I hate the company personally my experiences do not necisarily mean that all Thermaltakes are bad, they have got better in recent months.
You always have to be careful with people recommending components to you. Just to use a good example, someone who thinks a GF2mx is a fast graphics card will think that the FX5200 is gods gift. But someone who has used a 7800gt will consider the FX5200 to be poor, and rightly so.
It is easy to jump on bandwagons and agree with people; but here on OcUK there are some good posters, to name a few Raikiri, WJA96 and Harib0 who are all very knowledgeable and post some great things, yet they stick to there guns on there opinions on cases, and especially WJA96 going against my PC7+ recommendations when apropriate and on a few ocasions (only a few mind
) being spot on in doing so.
Those people listed I would trust to choose me a case personally and for what I wanted between them I would get the best case, it is how a forum should be, for discussion. Not a load of people jumping on bandwagons to agree on the same thing; then regurgitating it several times a hour to everybody.
Also before all of this gets linked to [H]ard forum I am not attacking them, I am just commenting on the posting behavior of OcUK and the way that some people in this section (only one I can comment on) sit there are help people with great recomendations with lots of justification. I do not know [H]ard forum and its users very well but it is always something to consider when posting in a forum.
I know it may seem sad, but I do post a lot in here, but only when I see that I can contribute something new. (Or defend Melm0 and her turtles from Raikiri
)
Bit of a long off topic post here, but it had to be said about the whole bandwagon thing, it will happen on OcUK cases again sometime, but not while the above mentioned posters are active.
And on the V series and PC7+ note, the only reason why I recommend them so much, is they are that good, if people check threads, or add me to msn I can put you onto other users who have got the case out of my, or others, recommendation and are really impressed by them.
Again sorry for the long speech!
Would be nice to see if Noni can provide any links, and see if I could get a person with V1000+ issues sorted.
