forgive me if anyone has posted before i did search but no results -

They would be classed as a competitor - i would edit the link and change wording immediately before a Don sees it.

atomic7431 · 3 Sep 2006 at 22:21

i have no other way at present of getting the images without the link and no one would know what i was on about help ?

Save and upload the images yourself. Just make sure you don't name any competitors.

Grab the image, put it on your own webspace (so there is no link to the competitor), then put a link here?

The case does not look very good anyway, pretty basic. If you can find it I would pay a max of £40.

The case has two front USB ports, front Audio and Microphone. These are all located on the left hand side facing sidewards as you look at the case head on. The case has been specially designed for us with cooling in mind. On the rear the case has a slot for a 120mm cooling fan, and the side of the case has an industry standard Intel TAC 1.1 approved air duct in additon to the cooling vents. The case also has clip on side panels for easy access and a slot where the case can be locked shut. Other features include clip-in drive bays (optional), and three blue LED circles on the front Aluminium door, which look very stylish!

Please note that the door on the case is made from Aluminium, but the rest of the case is made from Steel, with the front being plastic.

To sum up this case, it is of an excellent build quality as you can see and it would be very stylish in the home or office. It can house up to 4 optical drives, 3 hard drives and 2 floppy drive sized devices. If you wish to add more than 3 hard drives, please contact us for options. To allow for good cooling, the case is raised on 4 feet.

like the look of it and seen one in the flesh but dont know where to buy one on its own.

Nobody can tell you where to buy one from on here.

Post in product suggestions.

FFS, no. That's not nice. It's a Taiwanese generic case with brushed alloy clown buttons on. If you really want one then you know where to go, but I wouldn't bank on selling it.

ive seen one in the flesh and its proper aluminium etc s very sturdy and well built i just cant find one to buy on its own ie case only, only part of a system.

I don't doubt that it's built like a tank, I, personally, woiuldn't give it houseroom. As for whether or not that supplier will sell you a case, sans PC, I'm pretty certain they will if you ask.

Hades · 4 Sep 2006 at 10:41

Lian Li PC7 would be a better bet tbh. Although it's obviously a more classical style.

Only the door is Alu, personally I wouldn't go for a case that only has an Alu door/front, the rest of it will be really heavy. Go for something that's full Alu, much lighter.

If you like the three circles on the front then you can just mod the case door of a better case to be very similar.

I'm not wanting to be disparaging or anything, but is weight really that much of an issue? atomic7431 likes the looks. I don't but I wouldn't stop him buying one as I reckon it's probably £30 with the PSU, which is cheap enough to make it junkable when he realises the error of his ways

WJA96 · 4 Sep 2006 at 10:59

If a supplier is a trade-only reseller is it OK to post their details as they can't be a competitor, surely?

True about the junkable...but then I bought an £8 case from a competitor a couple of years ago and I'm still using it :eek:

(building a new rig in a PC7 this week) - I did also buy the £8 case as a case and not for the looks.

The looks of the Trigon aren't too bad, strange, but would fit in with a TV/Hi-Fi arrangment if you wanted it there, but because it isn't made by one of the larger companies (ones sold on OcUK) I'd personally avoid it and buy a cheapish Alu case and mod it.

To me weight is important, for others it isn't admitidly and he didn't mention if it was. Being a student I think of the moving it around every few months aspect of things.

I'd have thought that if it's a 'cheap tiwanese' case that only comes with parts already inserted you should go for something else as it'll be very hard to find the case empty on the net. The only way to really find out if you can get it in the UK empty is to email/phone the case makers/a distributor and ask if you can get it empty.
