New Case

NeverWinter · 28 Sep 2007 at 10:12

I want a new case to go with a build, I want it to be well built and roomy (and definately not tacky). Any suggestions?

Price around £100 or less.

since when was it tacky? (and it's roomy for sure

)

tacky would be nzxt lexa, or the ocuk value cases, or, well you get the picture

Look at the front of the Eclipse, it's tacky. It's plastic, and tacky. Personaly opinion but i really don't think it looks nice.

And yes it is indeed very roomy.

The PC7 is a good chassis, looks nice, and it's reasonably roomy.

Akasa Eclipse or Lian Li Pc-A16

Just realised I need 2 cases so might get the Eclipse and the A16. They aren't bad looking

Its not that bad. Certainly no more plasticy than the P182. Far more plastic on that antec.....

As to the A16, I built a pc in one of those in the week, nowhere near as good as I had hoped it would be. Just didn't feel like a lian li in terms of polish.

Eclipse is great, looks so much better in the flesh its not funny.

£100 or less there's basically about 4 or 5 choices

Akasa eclipse/Mirage
Thermaltake Mozart
Antec p182
Lian Li Pc 7+II
Silverstone SST TJ05

I would have said Lian Li PC-A16B as i also liked the look of this but take PinkFloyds word for it, that ,it isn't as good as first thought upon further inspection.

im going to put my opinion in for a Antec Nine Hundred, i think they look awesome, extremely good build quality, very good cooling, and considering the only thing that isnt removable is the motherboard tray.. there is a enough space to work

C64 · 29 Sep 2007 at 15:58

Yes but he wants a roomy case the antec 900 is anything but roomy.

Pulse · 29 Sep 2007 at 19:05

well i dont see mine as a problem at all. considering its one of a group of cases where all of the front is removable it meanst that you can get your arms in there in all funny directions, i've never had a problem with it and im sure neither have other people.
