Spec me a case.....

[Reality Bites]

I'm building a new machine up for a mate in work. I've got the spec done but can't decide on a case. I'm after a good quality case which doesn't look like a transformer or 90's hifi but offers a little class.

I have been looking at the Lian Li PC-6B.....anything else I should look at which is similar? Only prereq's are that if there are USB ports etc on the front, they can't be on the top.

He's also interested in a little bling. With the above case I was going to install a blue LED fan but am concerned that if I 5/7volt mod it, the LED's will dim too much?

idea's welcome!

just showed him the third one, definitely an option! The only downer on these are the power at the top of the case.

Can't spec because im at work but off the top of my head. NZXT H2, Bit Fenix Shinobi, Corsair 500d come to mind.

Oh, and the 300R. I love the style of that case, bit boxey though.

thanks all.....he's decided on the fractal design arc. May not have been my case of choice but i haven't got to look at it lol.

 

[olivier renault]

good choice none the less.

Anyone know if they do a CDROM bezel for the arc? Seems a shame to have a plastic optical drive sticking out of it!
