What is with all these 'gamer' cases that have ugly plastic front panels, handles on the top, giant robot face doors, headlights, front caddy grills.....


Anyway...I've got 2 cases that really fit the style I'm going for just curious if anyone would like to throw some more into the pot. Mid-tower is the size I'm looking for.

Heres the two:

Lian-Li PC-7B plus w/ window (I'm sure you've all heard of this one tongue.gif )

Kingwin KT-424-BK-WM (unfamiliar with this brand, but the build looks really nice)

Pay the extra 10 bucks and get the Lian Li. Cuz according to KB's sig:

Lian Li = sex

Oh I knew it was one of the two forum idiots. Same difference......

One thing I don't like about Silverstone cases is that they're made of steel rather than aluminum. I have one and it's really friggin heavy when it's EMPTY. When I stick a few hard drives, optical drives, and a good PSU, that thing weighs a TON.

I was so surprised when I got my first aluminum case. I thought it was low quality cuz it weighed so little.

I have a Silverstone TJ-06 and my brother has a SIlverstone TJ-03. Both are black and very, very, sexy. The TJ-03 will set you back a cool 250 at monarch and mine only 140. I love my case the layout is awesome as its BTX style and the only complaint I have is that with some stretched out power connectors specifically the 4pin mobo. I am going to have to load up pics of the case int the gallery. I have seen in person Lian Li's and I find that their styling is very boring although great quality. The only one I truly dislike from them is their overgrown cheese grater and Snail. However I find their cases to be extremely overpriced for what you get(aluminum box).

Check all of Silverstones line.
