is this case any good?

slotguy · 05-19-2008, 03:08 AM

what do you think of this one.. lots of these on ebay, about $60. are they garbage?

it's just a case.. other than the nifty lighting, what am i looking for in a case anyway? room for everything i guess... and nifty lighting

i don't care about that power supply...

I think it looks sexy. The only thing most people look for is durability. A lot of us tend to work inside the cases a lot and need something that won't break or bend easily. This, unfortunately, looks like one of those cases.

actually i like the display on the front here.. i'll probably go with this stlye

Hmm, I like the case, except for the quarky looking front cathode light strip. Have a look at the Centurion 5.

slotguy · 05-19-2008, 03:52 AM

how about this freak... i think i like it

like $300, but ya get the cooling setup.. what to do what to do

diduknowthat · 05-19-2008, 08:27 PM

Ehh, unless you're going to be REALLY into overclocking, watercooling is kinda useless. Moreover you can probably piece together a better kit yourself. What's your overall budget? have you taken a look at the Thermaltake Shark yet?

Get an Antec 900 or antec 1200

Or if you want to keep price a little lower how about a Cooler Master Centurion 5

(i want this case!!!)

diduknowthat · 05-24-2008, 04:36 AM

Or a P180 if you want a quiet computer that also cools well

.

To the OP: Yes, it is garbage. I used to have one that I got on some silly trade.

The fans and PSU are most likely junk on it but its prob worth a try to buy it if you got the money to play around.
