The New Cases Gallery

Not quite an i7 WC monster :P but it's more than adequate for what I do and it doubles as a night light too :cool: the case isn't cable tidy friendly but a few rapstraps saw to that!



 
Well, it's hardly a new case but I just can't bring myself to get rid of it!

I remember upgrading from an awful iCute case to the Xaser III, which was amazing back in my teens, to me at least! It is probably the best computer thing I've bought, a grahpics card from 2003 would not have lasted as long! Sure, the cable management is non-existant and the cooling ambitious, but it is of great quality and I'm sure it'll last many more years yet!

I'm quite chuffed with just how well it has acommodated my new setup, it's so much faster than the 3.4 P4 and X850 Pro that used to be in there.

And more of a desk shot, I'm at home from University, hence the dated bedroom style, or lack of!

When I move back in come mid-September I'm not too sure what will happen, the case is heavy enough to have it's own gravitational pull, and that's empty.
 
I still have my Aluminium Xaser III love it to bits! Used as a server chassis now, Use a Mountain Mods chassis instead now :)

I still think the Antec P182 is the nicest case ever made =]

How? it's heavy and full of plastic. I went from the P182 to the Lian-li PC-A10. Same case really but actually beautiful and expensive feeling. Partly influenced by the fact I built a PC for my GF at the time inside the P182 and she left about a week later...........with the PC!!!!!
 
It's double aluminium shielded on the panels which adds to the bulk of the weight, the plastics are tough but not creeeky at all and they are also weighty. What is wrong with that?

It aids noise suppression and looks sleek.

The Lian Li cases are great and I'd get one next time but so far for the price a P182 is hard to beat considering an equal Lian Li costs double+ for a decent one.

I had two doors break off in the same way!
