If money was no object, i'd personally go for;
Lian-Li PC V2000 PLUS Black Aluminium Full-Tower (No PSU) (CA-029-LL)
or
Silverstone Temjin TJ03 - Black (No PSU) (CA-004-SV)
or possibly the LLS80

Customised and anodised Lian Li G70, but your looking at £450 but all setup for watercooling, and they look STUNNING.

Or is that a bit to much.

pcassidy4 · 10 Jun 2006 at 12:12

Yeah maybe around £300 would be nice cos ive spent a lot on hardware.

You could get a nice anodised case for exactly that price.

Same as a £60 case but looking absolutely stunning and would be unique.

£300 for a case set up, you lot are mad, for that i could stick my pc in a new fridge freezer. I know how easy it is to get carried away with case design, silence and low temps. I think about re doing mine all the time !

£300 is nothing!

You try pricing up custom made sheets of Glass with custom frosting and colours in them.

No, just no.

A case from frosted glass would look very sweet!!!

Yeh, just costs the earth.

Don't suppose you know of any places that would do the glass?

Has to be shatterproof one way or another.

I dont know of any. i'll keep an eye out though. could be a nice project.......mmm

Yewen · 13 Jun 2006 at 12:04

Yeh, the plan was to just get a cheap acrylic case, and turn it into glass like for like.

The two materials in the cases at least would be very similar so should be easy enough to do, using the insides of the original case, just replacing the actual casing with the glass.

Red pigmented on a frosting for the case would be lovely.

Cheapest I have gotten for what I think I would need is £590, but thats out of three local ish companies.

Messiah Khan · 13 Jun 2006 at 12:19

Very nice idea there Yewen. Personally I would have it in greenish glass though.

Yewen · 13 Jun 2006 at 12:25

Yeh, like the old ATCs ones, purple and blue are also other options.

It is the cost that puts me off, I do not have THAT much money to spend on a case.

Messiah Khan · 13 Jun 2006 at 12:29

I suppose what you could do with, is find a glass factory or a place that works with glass, and get hold of offcuts. For a little while last year I worked at just such a place and I could have got hold of glass by the pallette load, but unfortunately(Or fortunately for me as it was the worst job ever) I don't work there anymore. Could see working with glass being hard to do as well.

Yewen · 13 Jun 2006 at 12:33

Yeh, its way above what I am capeable of doing.

Was why I was going to get the glass made up for me, then I just put it together.

Just as you can imagine the cost for custom one off panels, and a lot of them with holes in is very high.
