See Through Case

Ste99 · 2 Dec 2006 at 19:47

What is everybodys opinion on them?

I saw this pic on the forums here and never knew they existed before - tbh I have never thought of the concept of a see through pc case :cool:

I am close to buying one for my new system.

If done right, then hey can look great. For example the Orac 3 mod is stunning;

They do however require you to be a master of cable tyding, otherwise they just look a mess IMO. If you like them though, then go for it I say.

Remove competitors my friend quick!

I think they look great especially with neon/cold cathodes in.

very annoying if you got cathodes and have it in your room and keep it on at night....you would have to put a sheet over it at night lol

Or don't fit them in the first place.

If you route the wires well, I mean very well, then acrylic cases can look amazing. But I still prefer a decent aluminium case.

what's the cooling like in them? i assume not the best

Should be very similar to any other case really. Thermal transfer through the case itself isn't that actually that great, even if the case is made out of aluminium .

i know the guy which owns that pc (first post photo)

Its a flat pack case, you have to build it all up.

take a look at the mountain mods range i have the bobslay case and is excellent and have got around five degrees cooler system temps

CHUDS · 2 Dec 2006 at 23:05

how very *****

mortals · 3 Dec 2006 at 00:40

The best one I have seen so far was a custom etched one

it looked amazing, but I can't remember what the site was and am not sure where I put the pics

.

Doesn't perspex hold the heat in tho?

very very ugly imo

edit: in fact, now i remember it, a friend had one of these, looked absolutely gob**** cables all over the place, no where to hide them as you can see everything, DUST!, looks cheap and a million other things that made it highly undesirable.
