kramer2k Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Antec P180 Family And the new 182 looks pretty sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Yeah that silver/white P180 looks awesome. I was actually considering getting it for my new hackintosh but its about $150 without a PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyel Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hi PCWiz: Of course, I may be a little biased because I bought this case for my home. Please feel free to post your setups. --danyel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Obviously some cases are higher quality than others but what is an unreliable case? The case I have right now. Its a junky piece of plastic and overall its not reliable. Prone to parts falling off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotskip Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 The case I just ordered for my new PC is.. Cooler Master RC-690 (Check out the gallery) - Simple, clean and quite nice looking - Tool-free - Well designed for cooling - Cheap (In comparison to other cases) And so on.. For reviews hit "Reviews" on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azurael Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I like the Lian-Li PC-V2000, not because it looks like a Mac - in fact I don't care about that, but because it's layout is very well thermally and acoustically optimised, plus, it's a very good quality case. However, I'm not about to go out and spend half my computer budget on a case... And of course there's the problem in 'upside-down' cases of reaching cables across to get to the ATX connector, etc...)

robotskip Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Yeah, I'm worried about the PSU cables reaching what they need to but it's modular and I can just get some cable extenders, though that might making cable management a bit annoying.

Headrush69 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 The case I have right now. Its a junky piece of plastic and overall its not reliable. Prone to parts falling off. So it doesn't work? It might be a piece of junk but it's still probably reliable and it holds your parts. I always thought the Zalman TNN500AF was a cool idea with no fans and the entire case being a heatsink. The thing looks like an heavy duty industrial power generator, and costs about the same too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 That case doesn't look great but I suppose its effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 That case doesn't look great but I suppose its effective. You asked for our favourites, you didn't say it had to be "pretty". I've always had a fascination with totally quiet systems. At one point I was swapping computer parts so much I was tempted to just mount the parts into the computer hutch of my desk and use that as the case! I guess I'll add my current system: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
