I'm in the market for a new case but I'm having problems finding one I like. [kiss-ass] I'm hoping that you knowledgable guys [/kiss-ass] can give me some decent suggestions...

I'd like something that is like the following:

a) Full size desktop with plenty of room for loads of hdds
b) 120mm intake & exhaust
c) To have a 'server-esque' look
d) I'd quite like something a bit 'fun' but still 'grown-up', I don't want it to look really plasticy or like a robot ;)
e) Carrying handles would be nice
f) Would prefer to cost sub £100

Basically if someone could find me a shocking pink server case I'd be thrilled!! :D

I know I could always buy something and spray it up, but I expect my case to take a certain amount of hammer so the paint would come off too easily.

Ta.

I can meet all of those criteria with the Cheiftec Scorpio / Dragon full tower, 80mm fans and no carry handle, but big cases will not come with them.

The ones that spring to mind, the original stacker by coolermaster, the Thermaltake armour although I would not consider it personally.

The Lian Li G70 may be another option but is shooting way out of your budget.

What system will you be putting in it, will you be buying fans seperately out of the £100 and what PSU will you be using.

Depending on the above, the Akasa Eclipse/Mirage and the Antec P180 could be considered also.
 
I'm moving away from overclocking as I don't have the time for it anymore (I know, I know), so I'm selling my watercooling and opty and will be putting in a fairly high spec'd, air-cooled A64 cpu in (something like an SD 4000). I've already got the fans left over from my WC gear and am using my trusty 480w Tagan.

I've already got a chieftex BX case (which I've hacked to bits for the WC) so I fancy a bit of a change, although I've always quite liked Dragons in green! The Eclipse does look good, if not slightly too grown-up ;) Why can't they do one in bright orange?!? :D

If you spend more money, a lot more, you could get any colour on any all aluminium case you liked, but a lot of money.

I do not know what else to suggest, it is quite tough requirements and none of the cases I personally rate from using seem to meet them :(
 
Lian Li s80.

Probably nothing like what you would want but I am just trying to pull cases out of my hate that meet what you would like.
