I'll be building a new computer soon.. well not exactly soon, as when I build a PC I usually take months (8+) examining parts and trying to make up my mind. Though, I usually start with the case..

Anyway, what do you think of this PC case?

It's called a Gazelle and it's made by Just PC..

The only review I could find: http://www.thecrucible.ca/reviews/justpc899/


Unlike other cases, I haven't been able to find a lot of info on it except that one review above. Usually a case would have multiple reviews. This one seems to be ignored, maybe because it's mod-unfriendly or just hit the market? Of what info I have found, people have generally said they loved the case. The only problems they mentioned is that the drive covers don't close all the way after a while, which doesn't bother me because one guy said he just adjusted the spring tension to correct the problem.

My current case is Super Flower(http://store.yahoo.com/directron/201b.html). It's pretty swell or I thought so for the first couple of months I had it. The case is great, but it attracts dust like CRAZY. The main reason I'm looking into this Gazelle because it looks like it's almost dust-proof with proper tweaking. As for any heat issues, because I don't care about noise, I have no problem rigging up a few 120mm fans in there.


Anyone have any other case reccomendations for a gaming rig? Just keep in mind..

1. It's gotta have a cover that hides drives on the front bezel.
2. It has to have front USB support.
3. It's gotta be sleek.
4. It can't resemble a transformer. Sorry Optimus Prime.

Or in general, something that is good at keeping dust out of the chassis. Case fans are good for cooling, but the drawback seems to be that they allow tons of dust to get inside. I don't want to be breaking out the compressed air cans every two weeks.

Alienware cases look like they would be good at keeping dust out. Theres some on ebay (at the time I created this thread), but the black one alone, just the case is already up to $300. If I was gonna get a $300 case, it would be from http://www.mountainmods.com - though, not that I'll ever spend that much on case. =P

For whatever case you get, it would be a good idea to invest in some fan filters. Also, make sure your case has slightly positive pressure, more CFM blowing in than out, cause otherwise dust comes in like a magnet.
