Need a New Case

[daniel101191]

Hi there, i recently had a Coolermaster Elite 330. Then i tried to mod it, this didn't go to plan.

My first requirement is it could do with being black inside, (i know this is outa my price range) but like the Corsair Obsidian 800D. Looks like a really nice texture, matt black, but anyway, this is pushing it for the money.

I also want quite a lot of room inside, my current case is crowded, even with the mATX Motherboard.

and my last preference, is a window, i have recently bought 4 green LED lights, and wish to use them inside, to give a nice effect.

I know its a tall order, but can anyone recommend a case of their own, or one they know off.

Regards

Coolermaster HAF 932, that's a good roomy case with grills and a side window.

 

[daniel101191]

do you mean the 922 with window, that's £89, because the case you linked is over £100 . thanks for the quick reply though.

I have found this (hope links of, its from the manufactures website

http://www.akasa.com.tw/update.php?...e=Chassis&type_sub=Full ATX&model=AK-BKINF-02

(Akasa Infiniti Zor)

Not black inside, but is roomy, and looks neat

I meant the 932, but the 922 would be good too.

That looks like a great case.

Prices around £75. Good find.

Although it is a bit overpriced at the minute it's a great case.

 

[daniel101191]

that does look nice, I have also found CM Storm Scout < http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-175-CM > this looks nice, got a window, black inside etc. Any thoughts?

Cheers

I had an akasa eclipse 62, fantastic case, build quality was good, excellent cooling and pretty spacious. Only changed it as i wanted something bigger. Read the review posted above, bit dissapointing, i always wanted to see an akasa full tower case, after being so impressed with the eclipse 62.

 

[daniel101191]

hehe. shame the review is bad. I have been mooching around on eBay, and have come across this really nice 'Chenbro' (not sure if anyone has heard of that), case. Check it out, looks really stunning.

sorry about that the case is: Chenbro II Gaming Bomb Aluminium Case

Id edit out the link mate, due to forum rules its classed as a competitor, best to remove it.

How about the Antec 902?

[daniel101191]

i did think about that, but then thought that the case is a bit 'boy racer' like, as someone else described, in the case gallery.

How about this.

[daniel101191]
