i have this one ARTEC 868W MIDI TOWER BLACK WINDOW, its a nice case.

worthy · Aug 18, 2004, 12:19 PM

that was my first choice,but after i started looking at pictures, it looks all tacky and really crappy plastic n design

Sandok · Aug 18, 2004, 12:20 PM

The silver NZXT

worthy · Aug 18, 2004, 12:23 PM

with a fan in side,and in the back supplied and with this

S/CORE SC-8025CB 8CM CASE FAN BLUE STORM(£4) if im allowed it

put in the front of the fan

drakesteakn · Aug 18, 2004, 12:24 PM

i'm not into all the crazy looking cases i go for performance and the artec will perform better than NZXT. and the NZXT looks dorky, the artec is only plastic on the front panel and i can say its not what it looks like in that pic.

Sandok · Aug 18, 2004, 12:38 PM

The V Xaser Damier is better if you gotta go for a thermaltake... the best perfomace i think... I'm gettin the Tsunami anyways (good perfomace too)

yeh proberly

but out of the 5cases i said, is the lanfire (thermaletake one) the best?

im 90% leaning towards that one!

drakesteakn · Aug 18, 2004, 01:28 PM

the thermaltake one will do good, better than the other ones u had picked.

GutterPunk · Aug 18, 2004, 01:35 PM

Malus · Aug 18, 2004, 02:26 PM

Am I the only one that finds these cases gaudy? I don't know, the could be a lot more elegant.

I would go with the best performing case (probably the Thermaltake one).

Matth · Aug 19, 2004, 04:02 PM

Would you want to look at any of them for long?

The NZXT, I would say, is a case that looks good on the shelf, but is better left there.

If the thermaltake actually includes all those fans and the controller, it's a lot of case for the money, buy I wouldn't be happy with only two 5 1/4" bays left available.

edperks · Aug 19, 2004, 04:29 PM

I like the NZXT CASE GUARDIAN SILVER its not as gaudy as the rest!!

cd-rw + cd-rom + floppy drive,there the only thing i use, so only having 2 doesnt really matter,and if i upgraded to a dvd-rom i can just get rid of the cd-rom

i really like the thermaltake more than the nzxt silver case, can sum1 try persuade me to have the silver one, IF it is alot better...if not,dont

Nacht · Aug 22, 2004, 12:48 PM

out of those, get the Xaser, definately.

tastyweat · Aug 23, 2004, 02:45 AM

xaser imo

worthy · Aug 23, 2004, 07:19 AM

okies then

BWX · Aug 23, 2004, 07:48 AM

I wouldn't get any of them.. Just me though.

StuBee · Aug 23, 2004, 08:17 AM

check out

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...e_Cases_7.html

They've got an ok selection of cases.

I've got a Coolmaster Centurion 2 is simple and not 2 fancy

Just 2 things to remember if you're gonna put water cooling in it later, depending on the type of kit you get you may want a bigger case

And also if you get a silver or black one with no front to cover the drives you may have to get new CD drives etc, cos ya don't want a black case with a nice white cd drive!

worthy · Aug 23, 2004, 09:41 AM

not overclockers, MAN there 2 expensive lol

tastyweat · Aug 23, 2004, 12:58 PM

ocuk aint expensive!

I'd say Microdirect -> Xcase -> ocuk -> ebuyer - I buy quite a bit of stuff from them even though I can get things at trade

Nacht · Aug 23, 2004, 06:29 PM

yea, Cooler Master's Centurion is what i have myself...the blue edged one with the window. it's quite, has great circulation, and not overdone. the PSU is only 350W though...

BWX · Aug 24, 2004, 03:26 PM

Yeah those CoolerMasters are nice- probably my next case.
