glassJAw Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 There was a thread sporting nice Apple influenced cases. Anyone know where that thread is? I'm trying to find a smaller style case for my system as I'm trying to lay off the usage of my Macbook. Silver or White would be the preference. So far I have found this... http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx...N82E16811173014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glassJAw Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 It's close enough? Can you do better????? Pretty neat case noffari. Why is there a huge speaker on the side of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiscus Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 The Lian Li V-1200 is the way to go - thats what I have. It's the best money can buy other than getting an official g5 case. http://www.lian-li.com/product/product06.p...ex=2&type=a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahbau Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I think any cases that try to look like a Mac Pro just end up looking like the cheap knockoffs they are. There are much better looking cases that don't try to copy it. I think Lian Li makes some nice simple, clean cases that are more "Mac like" than any that try to look like a Mac. Here are a couple: PC-S80A PC-101A PC-B20A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soündless Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 dude, that case is probably A piece of sht i think youare starting to stalk me like you did scart... yes, the review says it is {censored}, but it is the closes looking thing to a mac pro i have found. what i really like about it is how air can flow from the front to the back of the case. it seems like it would be better for air cooling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alloutmacstoday Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 hey dude, not cool, don't ever compare ANYBODY to scart! but i guess ur right, it does look like a mac pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacSimilian Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 hey sarahbau the only thing that your cases have in common with a macpro case is the kind of design, minimalism, but there are hundreds of towers out there that are minimal...so far soundless's and mine (I know it sounds selfish) are looking most like a mac pro case, I think. Although sarahbau's looks good but not like a already existing mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahbau Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 hey sarahbau the only thing that your cases have in common with a macpro case is the kind of design, minimalism, but there are hundreds of towers out there that are minimal...so far soundless's and mine (I know it sounds selfish) are looking most like a mac pro case, I think. Although sarahbau's looks good but not like a already existing mac. "mac-like" to me means "doesn't look like a $3 piece of {censored}." lol. It doesn't have to look like a Mac to be Mac-like. If Apple comes out with a new design without handles, it doesn't mean it's not Mac-like, just like a case isn't Mac-like just because it does have handles. Edit: To further expound upon my reasoning, look back at the computers and monitors Apple has made in the last 20 years. They don't necessarily look anything like other Apple models, but they are (almost) all Mac-like, not just because they are Macs, but because they follow certain design standards. The most Mac-like thing about my old AppleVision 750 monitor wasn't the look. It was the way the power button felt. That's something that most case manufacturers don't understand. "Mac-like" is an all-encompassing descriptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axecaster Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Its an Iball Workhorse i think =) Maybe I'm not looking in the right areas.
