Hawk,

Is it ugly?? Well it looks plain and functional, but I bet it would look a heck of alot better with some spray paint http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

To be honest with you, I think it looks good. It certainly has a lot of external bays for expansion!

Personally, I'm not too crazy about all those jazzy cases. Especially the ones with the disco strobe lights in the cases! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif The standard white cases look better and you don't get sick of them too soon! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[hawkeye177]

I think it is plain too. Maybe if I put some flames on it, it would look a lot better.

Here's the case I use for my dual setup. Just plain and simple. Just the way I like it! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

That's a pretty good representation of what it will look like if the heatsink on your T-Bird ever comes loose. hehehe http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[NDC]

I have a good idea! How about a SysOpt case? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

I think the case looks good. Is that a mid or full-size tower? Some good vents (added if necessary) and it is likely very good. After you fill 2-3 bays and <u>maybe</u> even apply a paint job, I think it could look great!

It is a full tower. I bought it a few days ago and they just sent it to me. I have not received it yet so I cant tell how good or bad it looks.

[neodave]

I don't think it'll do any long term harm to your relationships.
How many $ if you don't mind.
I wouldn't mind having one.

I bought it for 38 dollars on ebay. Shipping was 20 and it does no come with a power supply. Look around at ebay i bet you will find some good deals.

[hawkeye177]

I found it. 35 dollars http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1249492489
also found the case on the website http://www.discountforce.net/fullatxwhite.htm

click on the image and you will find that that is the same one

I think it looks like a case should look. clean and useable, I look at cases, like new cars, they too have to much plastic and curves, and not enough strong metal

[MR COMPUTER]

I made the mistake of buying a couple of those to build with a while back. Never Again! Interior shell is flimsy and sharp edged. Drives do not line up in the bays. Even the exterior cover is hard to put back on. I would pass on that one. IMHO... http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[hawkeye177]

I will tell you the quality of the case when it comes in.

[MiKe85]

I don't think it's ugly, just a bit plain..

If I got this case, it would give me a challenge (Art isn't one of my fine points http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif)

[hawkeye177]

I will have to contract hawkeye178 to paint flames on my computer. I too suck at art.

[jokostel]

me, i just put directx,edelbrock and t-bird stickers on my case. good enough for me...
gotta get my camera working for the pic though... http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

jokostel

[hawkeye177]

stickers may be a very good idea. Very cheap and easy to put on.

NDC, excellent setup. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

I like plain jane cases too...with all these so-called "designer cases" and "aesthetic cases" manufacturers forget about the large amount of people that like unobtrusive quiet cases. let's blame it all on Macintoshes!

A mini full tower? That's like a small giant. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

The case looks good. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif I have a real full tower, also a "plain jane", it's 24.5" tall. I plan on modding it (painting it, a window, blacklight, extra intake and blowholes), but I need to find the time and money first. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I don't like the "designers" cases. I saw this case a while ago that looks like a Nokia phone. Yuck! I would never want a case like that.

[hawkeye177]

I allready drilled 2 holes. One in the top for a 92mm fan and a hole in the side for a 92mm fan. I also have two 80mm fans inside.

[Savant]

looks like just what I want, if its built sturdily enough (I believe that pc cases should be strong enough to be used as chairs, tables etc.)

[hawkeye177]

I dont think I want to sit on my case. If i sit on it I will be poked, by the flaw of my cutting.

[Savant]

yea, but I've never quite gotten around to cutting on my cases, but I have been known to sit on them, or eat at them depending on whether its my chair or my desk thats to full of stuff to use

I too do not recommend going with the idea of getting the cheapest case one can find. Cases, like monitors, stay with you for quite a while, so in the end you'll get what you pay for and will have to live with it (longer than with your spouse, perhaps? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif for a long long time.

Get a decent one with no flimsy, shaky, wobbly construction and make sure that all things align and are shaped properly. Save yourself the pain, as Mr. Computer had suggested earlier...

I personally, place more value over the internal over the exterior looks. Although it never hurts to have the coolest looking kicka$$ case in the neighbourhood http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif hehe

[hawkeye177]

The case I bought is lower quality. It has some hammer damage due to modification by my uncapable self. The case is made of lower quality steel but everything else seems to be pretty good. There is not a lot of plastic in this case. The case is what Call mini full tower. It is about 4" bigger than a mid tower. I wil put some pics on.
