uuuuuuuuumm

it depends if you're easily insulted

because if you're upgrading, get a new case too !.............

well if it does the job and you don't mind the look then no.

But if it was me deffo time for a new case.

 

[djinuk205]

ok thats cool advice, i was thinking on the performance side of things

The good old Chieftec-platform... in mid-tower version. (this is the full one)

With right component selection it will do it's job well but yeah... 80mm fans just aren't good for hot components.
(also silencing is hard in that)

no offence but thats awful

It looks alright, i have seen worse.

Maybe a DIY spray job is in order

Upgrade needed to be honest. I thought the case was ugly when it was first released though

poor guy is taking a hammering

yea' ok, it looks total pants

lol , dont worry , im not going to be upset about my 5 or so year old case being called ugly, i brought this when it was the latest thing and when many pcs were still that cream horrid color.

It beat the millions of £20 cases that were released at the same time, they were made out of recyled paper and if you farted the things fell apart lol .

It was respectable in the 80's springs to mind

yea' my thermaltake Armour looks like yours..........outdated

there's a huge clue here, dont buy a case with a sculptured front panel...go for a plain case, because my 1998 beige case looks more modern than my Armour

Don't know about out dated but it is Pig ugly & would have been Pig ugly back in 87 when you bought it.
My advice, Let somebody else pick your next case.

I used to have the chieftec version of your case. With a window and 4 different coloured lights.....pauses to puke........ Get a new case man, ANYTHING! Silverstone fortress perhaps?

 

[djinuk205]

I was looking at the coolermaster Haf cases, they look easy to keep things cool in.

no offence but thats awful

Says someone who is using big cheesegrater as case...

Considering i got it for £55 brand new i think it is quite a decent cheese grater!

To be fair i am upgrading this/next month

CM HAF??????? stop it!!! get a case that looks elegant in a high end Hi-fi sort of way. The haf is gonna date just as bad as that antec. I wish people would stop buying cases that look like tacky sci-fi robots. whyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!
