Nice looking case

[Smartazz]

Does anyone know of any nice look cases, I mean really hot cases.
edit: This belongs in cases and cooling doesn't it, didn't see that.

For how much?

On the cheap, Antec Super LANBOY

Otherwise, Lian-Li v1000

 

[Smartazz]

not cheap, under $300 would be nice.

 

[danklumpp]

Depends on what you consider nice looking, some like the flashy windowed ones with a gazillion lights, I myself prefer the Antec Sonata II for a nice looking case.

My idea of a really nice case is the Falcon Northwest Mach V's case, but the price is absulutly ubsurd.

QFT on the price. If that look is for u, look into the CoolerMaster Cavalier 3 in silver. Its more rounded, but it's still very beautiful.

what about these types of cases...if you like it, search the A-TOP Gladiator cases....they're significantly under $300 though so it could be not what you're looking for

are u kidding, falcon probably bought it for $5 bucks of some company called ShingTing, then renamed it, and stuck a huge ass price on it.

oh yes, btw, nothing against falcon. they are hella lot better than alienware thats for sure.

lian li cases are pretty up there in terms of looks...and price!

i have a PC-75 myself, and even though its big, its really nice and i think its worth the 200 dollar premium.

some coolermaster and thermaltake cases do look sweet though. you could always go with the standard antec designed mid/full tower case with a side window.

IMO Lian Lis are pretty overpriced. How good a case looks is all subjective. Some nice cases I like are the Antec P180, Cooler Master Stacker 830, and Thermaltake Tai Chi.

Silverstone SST-TJ03

that would be Falcon NW's Mach V before the icon mod.
hope this helps..

it comes in silver as well..

P180 vote here, very clean and "simple" look to it, yet still manages to not look like a normal case. Plus its quiet as deeze, and love how it compliments my setup.

 

[greenmaji]

I personaly have my eye on the Cool Master Centurion 532

[kmrivers]

v1000plus (black or silver)
V1000 silver

if you can find it under $300 the silverstone tj05 (also black or silver)
TJ07 Silver

 

[fibes]

cooler mater wave master. link

 

[pkme2]

I got 3 Lian-Li's and its construction is why I stayed with them. Look at what you get and you keep coming back.

 

[SCSIfreek]

I personally like this Linky

 

[Smartazz]

what do u think of koolance's cases?

 

[alimoalem]

i think expensive

I have a 725 SL. It's very nice. Price, EXPENSIVE.

575 plus s/h last time I checked. No water blocks included either so You're looking at about 700 with waterblocks and shipping done up.

Only reason I bought it was because I like a silent PC (Air cooling is silent but I am anal when it comes to sound) and it was intergrated perfectly.

Keep in mind you can't use the top 3.25" bay due to the resevoir and you will need to sacrifice your bottom most PCI port(Meaning no SLI on the A8N32SLIDELUXE) due to the resevoir and it's piping.

It's not cheap man, good luck finding one. I won't esll mine becaues it's a one of a kind.

When I have the money for my next build probobly around $2500, I'm thinking about getting a koolance, they sound really good, what do you think of the appearance though?

 

[Gagan]

It's a hot case man.
You look at it and yo usee a v1000 with a little LED meter on top of it with 2 fans.

you see no visual evidence, other than the resevoir on the top, of water cooling. The little you do see is quite rewarding though as the resevoir window lights the room with a vibrant neon blue glow.

IT cools very well after all ti's an Exos 2 cooling system. It's very quiet and you can adjust the fans to however high or low you want the temperature. They also come with 3 thermostats that you put on the Cpu(underneath the heatsink) to enabl ean "auto" setting for the fans so they will not blow as hard when the temp is within the ballpark range you set.

It's expensive but you pay for mostly the intergration. No external pipes whatsoever, you can only see when you open it.

 

[Smartazz]

Does Koolance use Lian Li's cases, I thought I saw their logo on a case.

 

[Gagan]

Yeah, thats what they are.
They get LIAN li to send them custom cases that are premade to Koolance's resevoirs.

So Koolance opens the lian li box, mods it, and then puts it back in the same box but puts KOOLANCE tape to seal the box to prevent tamperin.

 

[Smartazz]

oh nice, so it's def. a strong case then, isn't your case kinda loud though for liquid cooling from the massive pumps?
