In need of a SEXY looking case...
*first time user*
As my signature also indicates, I am building a new computer from scratch. I got a nice mobo, regular video card, amazing soundcard and decent RAM and HD. The only thing left to do now is to get a SEXY looking case. What do i mean by SEXY??? I mean Alienware sexy, or this case called RaidMax Spirit of War: Samurai (by the way, i saw the ad in pc gamer but havent found a place to buy one....). My friend has a black alienware case, and when he turns out the lights, the case just makes the hairs on my neck stand. I want a case like that, possibly with a good PS and a few fans (not an overclocker...) and also a window on the side (i realize alienware doesnt have one, but what if it did???) If you have an idea about a sleek black, please write back. I've checked out some of the thermaltake but the red color on the front just makes the case "unsmooth and sleek" Plus, if you have any ideas about anything else, write....

Get the Dragon Server case, a dremel and some flat pliers (to fold the cables origami style). The origami is nice because a. it's pretty and b. it improves airflow like you couldnt imagine (if you want performance, stay away from them damn rounded cables)

Beauty comes at cost.....just like with women.....and thats why i'm still single
The cases are great but the price is quite steep. Besides, i was looking for a case with more curves (again, like women.... :-D )

As for the case.... god no (not in my opinion at least). Those things remind me of "souped up Honda Civics" which people think are so badass except "this" Honda Civic is missing wheels, engine and is rusted all over ... seriously... look at the thing... ok maybe im a little rough... here's the reasoning - It's a premade case which kids buy with their parents money and they think it's all that - Small - Poor ventilation capacity - SERIOUSLY has that "honda civic" syndrome .... a premade/premodded case is just "professional" in the Mod community - Poor expansion capacity That's why cases like these dont get voted as Rig of the Month very often heehee (seriously it's got that "teenager 1337 haxor" look to it But in either case, seriously -- if you're happy with the case -- that's all that matters. But if you want a case that's functional, clean and highly moddable, get a nice LianLi if you have the money but realitsically grab a nice Chenming -- they are overused -- but they are overrused for a reason.
