Dermatea Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I think the HP Blackbird 002 case is one of the coolest commercial cases ever. http://h20435.www2.hp.com/#/gallery/ That aside, I think my real case is pretty neat too. It's a silver Thermaltake Aguila case, complete with cross-shaped window: http://thermaltakeusa.com/product/Chassis/...nlargeviews.jpg http://thermaltakeusa.com/product/Chassis/...largeviewsw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badie05 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Antec P182 is uber for cooling and just plain simple. Sleek too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryll Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Antec P182 is uber for cooling and just plain simple. Sleek too! I also have Antec P182; however, I don't think that it's super great for cooling, since it's a bit cramped. I did few tests, and by opening side panel CPU temps actually went down. I don't use extra fan, which can be installed in the middle cage, and all my fans ran at low speed. Although for its price, it's a great case. It is very quiet, great looking, has useful cable management, and stable, since PSU is located in the lower chamber. However, I prefer Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newear2006 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The best case I have ever used is The new CoolerMaster Cosmos. Six fans and great handles super quiet with acoustic foam.It kinda looks very mac like cause of the brushed aluminum sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^_^ Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I've found something similar to pcwiz's I was thinking about getting a Green Vento 3600 or CM Cosmos or a CM Stacker 832 But I would feel stupid if i get it here in Japan as the price is like x2 here. I do not have the space anyways.... or mod the Sgi Tezro... hmm dell XPS 720 too if i can get my hand on the case. So i have decided to get this: coupden cp502 or 3rsys r240 Zion as it is cheap here. Edit: I end up getting a CM Staker 831 as i found a cheap one on the internet! Hurray! and we live happily ever after, the end haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatshitcat Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Those are just Alienware ripoffs trying to be original. BTW I am Romanian but those cases make me puke all over my monitor. That's more like it. It is an HP Blackbird.002 Too bad I can't get the case separately(yet ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrancew_hod Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I just bought the Coolermaster Stacker 830 Evolution, I saw that it got pretty good reviews, wasn't hard on the eyes and after the discounts and rebates, I'll get it for about $99. Can't beat that! (maybe you can, I love a good sale!) Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Wow...only $99? I wanted to get the 830 as well but it was extremely expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MoC) Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 BTW I am Romanian but those cases make me puke all over my monitor. Me too (but I live in New York), but I think you are right, those cases for one disgust me and secondly would scare me if I left it in my room doing a disk defrag or downloading a torrent when I'm gone. I'd come back from the grocery story thinking I'd be watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrancew_hod Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Wow...only $99? I wanted to get the 830 as well but it was extremely expensive I think they are phasing out this model for the newer one, the SE edition. But the $99 price is good until about the 14th @ Newegg.

shishnit Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I've always thought the lubic cases like the one shown above were interesting. You can build them into anything you want. I've seen so many neat things! But seriously, I went for the Antec Nine Hundred. Two of my friends have the case and love it because it keeps everything very cool. It has two large fans in the front, another one in the back, a well ventilated side and a huge 200mm fan on the top. We could even float sticky notes with it! It not only kept the computer cool, but it also keeps you cool, the thing is a freaking fan! I figure if I'm going to over clock I'm going to need a good ventilated case.

xpertforce Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I own a Lian-Li PC60 Silver Aluminium Tower with see-through side panel, I highly recommended these cases they are very good for custom builds. I have a sneak preview here of my next case which is going to cost me around £600 just for the case itself!!! VERY COOL, Custom Paint Job!! I have not seen a better looking case to date, have you?

Reanimation_LP Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Antec 900 FTW. Those Dracula cases are junk. Pretty much all of em are made by the same company. Ugly design, cheap flimsy plastic, craptastic metal material. My sisters boyfriend had the one that looks like an alien, and it kept shorting out his computers mainboard. Not to mention the door broke a week after building it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahwahman89 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?TT-SDREAMS Tsunami by Thermaltake. Keeps your quad core cool and an amazingly looking case as long as take good care of it. Just my 2cents... or pennies :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
