well as the title suggests im looking at buying a new case,
it has to be lightweight so i can carry it around for LANNING and stuff like that
but it also has to be cool looking
and also has to be able to fit a decent amount of stuff
thanks

So far ive been told to look into getting a

but i dont like that case...

Coolermaster 590
Antec 300

I have a 590, they rock.. although they (just like any other case) get heavy if you put heaps of stuff inside

Whatever you do, don't get a Antec P182. Love the case but with all the sound dampening, goddamn it's heavy as hell.

Posted by: TechL Dec 19 2008, 08:21 AM

I've got the exact same case and I can relate. But damn it's a nice case.

Get a Lian Li case, um not sure which one, but they're good looking, lightweight and does the job as far as I know.

^^ Cheap lian Li - old gen V1000 Series - still alright though. Bit funky if you have a heatpipe motherboard though.

^^ Lian Li Im considering for my gaming case - small, lightweight, simple, yet effective. Can hold 6 drives and a few burners and the rest very comfortably from the looks. This case will replace my CM Elite POS.

Dont spend under $150-200 on a good case

Posted by: Anarchy RD Dec 23 2008, 02:37 PM

Thanks neon, i wasnt planning on spending too much

although i may just mod my case
cant remember what model it is
but its a normal coolermaster case

Posted by: R4N Dec 24 2008, 12:03 PM

Like that?

Posted by: Anarchy RD Dec 24 2008, 10:01 PM

oh no, lol
mine is the one with the power/reset and everything on the right side of the case

Posted by: SiMONiZZLE Dec 29 2008, 02:55 PM

I prefer the antec 300 over the 900

Posted by: Anarchy RD Dec 30 2008, 01:07 AM

Posted by: Anarchy RD Jan 12 2009, 01:33 PM

any1 else got ideas
im looking for a case thats got a clear side so i can put in all my LED's again
and light up my case

Posted by: bAKER Jan 16 2009, 06:40 PM

i have an antec 900.
the guts of the thing are stupidly amazing.
the internal design is so clean and organised, ontop of that u get blue leds all over the shop.


pros/cons IMO.
pros:
1everything is easy as shit to organise, mad case extremist rganisation possiblities.
2hard drive cages are interchangeable at the front, u can move them around with the dvd drives etc.
3air flow goes liek this
[^^<<<<]
[^^<<<<]
[<<<<<<] front.
[<<<<<<]
[<<<<<<]
------i clocked my e6850(3.00ghz) to 3.7 with a stock cooler.-----
4nothing in it, so its light.
5watercooling grommets.
6able to fit (just) 2x 4870 1gb in. reasonably big on the inside, amazingly small on the out.
7LOOKS COOL IMO
8CHEAP AS SHIT.

cons:
1psu down the bottom (i dont really mind it tbh, cept dust gets in the fan etc.)
2wud be noisey if u had noisey parts (mines quiet cos i picked out my parts specifically).
360% of people dont like the looks =\
4 not likely to fit dual cpu mobos in *sadface*


OVERALL: its fuckign awesome. dont get it cos then ull be copying me :DDDDD

antec 900 is shit. Most antec cases are just as shit. no cable management what so ever, no holes in motherboard for cable management, except the P182, and the thing looks so messy inside because its crampt and cables go everywhere. CM 690 is highly praised.

Posted by: WooKiE_MaN Jan 19 2009, 10:38 PM

what amout of "Stuff" does it have to hold?

Lots of Hard drives? water cooling?

Posted by: tass Jan 20 2009, 12:16 PM

Lian Li PC-A17B Case Black - i think this case is great but now days i will only get a case with a door. Hate having the optical drives exposed :\ I like the p182 but yea its not aluminum. Get something with a black chassis mmm

Posted by: SLoV Jan 21 2009, 04:48 PM

i got one of them old apple comp cases u can mod like the one form 2003 or something

Posted by: SLoV Feb 14 2009, 06:48 PM

personaly i would make a case out of play doe, easly modible, and, if your hungry at lans and run out of money... you can eat it

Posted by: Anarchy RD Mar 30 2009, 07:02 PM

Posted by: savage Apr 1 2009, 09:07 AM

side note, Just built in an Antec 902, HEAVY AS HELL with i7 gear etc!

Posted by: Jono Jun 3 2009, 03:25 PM

Well I just bought a new case for the rig I’m building. I got the Cooler Master Storm Scout. It’s a great case with plenty of ventilation and has a handle on the top for easy manoeuvring. It has a transparent side window and comes with three fans two of which are LED's (140mm Intake, 120mm Exhaust). It was kind of pricey I got it for 169 without a PSU but it’s around 150 now at CPL. Anyways here’s a picture for you.

i was just going to say that case lol

with the 6 speed controlled fans and watercooling support.
