NIce Clear Case

TheChef · 01-16-2006, 10:47 PM

I'm looking for a nice acrylic case that has tasteful 120mm fans, if there are any. I've been looking around and it seems as if all the acrylic cases are extremely cheap (with clearcomputercases.com being the exception, but being way to expensive). All the cases I've seen have LED 80mms that look really gaudy. Any suggestions? I'm looking to do a mod project this year and this is a large part of it.

Well mod it and make holes for 120mm fans

Afterall, that's the fun behind modding

Well I wanted to steer clearof having extra holes around everywhere, but know that I picture it, it wouldn't be too noticable. Thanks for the link, but that's way above my budget.

well, waht is your budget and we'll go from there.

You could try making your own. Just start with a box out of acrilic(I would suggest that anyways, but go for any thinker plastic too) make holes wherever you want the fans with a drill....Cut open a box for the powersupply, cut open spaces in the front for drive bays.

Or ther eare also some of these, they are pretty cool too.

I should've told you earlier, but definetly under $100 USD, hopefully under 75. Thanks Xycron, I've looked at Xoxide cases, and building one with good quality stuff will be pretty expensive. I've looked into ~8mm plexiglass and its expensive. So I'm hoping to buy.

You can get a 8x4foot Acrilic sheet at home depot for 45$. 1/4th inch at home depot, 1/2inch was 60$ i think? Not sure about that one.
