dark4181 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Not sure if this is the right place for this. If not, feel free to relocate it... They are Windy Soldam cases; designed, made and manufactured only in Japan, available only in Japan (unless you have a hookup in Japan to ship you one at a ridiculous shipping rate) [H] link with pics .jp link (Japanese text only, obviously.. perhaps someone could translate?) if Apple were to buy these guys out, they really would have the sexiest cases on earth (IMO) lol, someone link this to Steve Jobs Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60272-the-sexiest-computer-cases-ever/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedragon1971 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Other than being anodized (I assume) on the inside as well as the outside, I really don't see anything special or particularly attractive about those cases.

TvvqKMZ72bsklauw5 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 They look alright, but I would take a Mac Pro case any day. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60272-the-sexiest-computer-cases-ever/#findComment-428484 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFI Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I'm sorry, but I'll take the Mac Pro case (which is arguably the best looking case out there) over this in a heartbeat. The closest PC case that I can think of that has similar sexyness in its own way, is the Coolermaster Stacker CM 830. That's the closest I can think of that can compete with the Mac Pro case. This one is nowhere near looking good (imo).

bofors Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Not sure if this is the right place for this. If not, feel free to relocate it... Usually cases are discussed in the "mods" section, this is not news per se. This is a thread for slick hackint0sh cases: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...145&hl=case So how much are these cases and are they available in the US or what? Next time post some pictures so we can see without clicking: ^Amen, they're nothing special... Oh, I disagree. These are super cases that look better that Lian Li.

Numberzz Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 they are good for a custom pc, but the Mac Pro cases just match apple Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60272-the-sexiest-computer-cases-ever/#findComment-428513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofors Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 they are good for a custom pc, but the Mac Pro cases just match apple Yes, the Mac Pro / G5 cases are awesome, but I still wish they would have switch the Mac Pro to anodized black. The problem is that using an Apple case for a hackint0sh appears to be a very time consuming hassle.

Technobob Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 @Bofors Great to see you back They look OK but they are no Mac Pro I don't care for that rivet look it says to me cheap and tacky I prefer the minimal look over flashy thats why I bought an Antec P182 case.

Paranoid Marvin Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I'm with technobob on this one, the Antec case is much nicer Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60272-the-sexiest-computer-cases-ever/#findComment-428823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technobob Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 If flashy is your game Antec makes the P182 in a mirror finish with black anodized interior finish Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60272-the-sexiest-computer-cases-ever/#findComment-428830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight F Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 In a moment of impulse I bought the 182SE. But damned if it doesn't look good when I look at it straight on. Here's a pic of someone else's: http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/7682/img5442pf8.jpg EDIT: Yeah, this is the one Technobob is talking about. It is like something straight out of the 70's...

bofors Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 @Bofors Great to see you back Thanks... I don't care for that rivet look it says to me cheap and tacky I was just about to say the only thing I really do not like about these Windy cases are the rivets. I prefer the minimal look over flashy thats why I bought an Antec P182 case. I hate doors on cases, so I would go with the Antec P150 / Solo instead. For what it is worth, I got three CoolerMaster Centurion 5 cases last year for my hackinst0shs and am pretty happy with them. They are not prefect, but they look nice and are dirt cheap at about $45.

Technobob Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I'm not a big fan of doors because of the optical drive but my plans for this case the door is fine and I use a external burner anyways. I'm going to use the 4x5 1/4 bays to fit 2 Kingwin KF3000 drive racks to increase hard drive capacity to 12 drives over the current 6 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60272-the-sexiest-computer-cases-ever/#findComment-428972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.C. Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Love those cases, very minimalistic, but very functional. Ofcourse though the G5 case is better.

Colonel Ingus Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Maybe if you're 12 years old those cases look nice but in the real world nothing beats a Mac Pro. The Mac Mini is probably the most innovative case design. I liked the mirror finish one above but it's way to boxy. Needs to be updated with some curves. Apple still has the sexiest looking computers around Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60272-the-sexiest-computer-cases-ever/#findComment-429075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
