Which Case for Clear Side Panel

JaseUK · 18 Sep 2006 at 18:15

Guys,
What case would you guys recommend so as I can view all my components i.e a clear side panel.
Would prefer the side panel with a fan (blowing onto Grafix Card)
Basically I want this case on display on my desk looking pretty.
Will need a good blue cathode light too.

Akasa Eclipse 62. can always mod it.

hmmmmmmmmm, anymore.
I find them a little boring,
I would mod my TT Shark with perspex, what about the Lanboy

A very nice looking case, shame it doesn't take eATX mobos

How aboute Thermaltake Soprano or Tsunami they have 92mm fans on the side window

My iCute case

Choice of...

1) 120mm / 92mm or 80mm Fan on the side

AND

2) 120mm or 80mm Fan on the side which will blow onto the Graphics Card

Heres mine

As you can see, the second mounting bit is below the blue fan.
The fan I ordered for it came broke from Competitor!

Thermaltake Soprano!

You wont find one with a fan on the window that is very good, it should not be needed either as usually the best cooling is 1 fan in 1 fan out.

Akasa Eclipse 62 + windowed side panel would be the best cooling option, and the PC7+ + window would offer amazing value for money.

I would take the Akasa over any Antec case, you can not get a window for the P180.

The Thermaltake Soprano is ok for the money, the trouble is the PC7+ is much better and the same price range. The Tsunami is absolute rubbish in my opinion, a far worse case than the Soprano.

But you can mod it to have one like ive done.

When you ask to buy something you can not really include mods.

My S80 in that case has 40mm sound proofing cotton on the side panels.

I think I will mod the side of my TT Shark case, will buy a sheet of perspex and rivet onto side panel. Probably add a couple of vents too.
Any recommendations guys on doing this.
