Locutus Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 It's easier to mod a case that doesn't have windows...but then again I'd be putting a window in if I were to mod it...but it'd probably not just be a window... I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Why not? Especially with watercooling. I want to see what level the reservoir is at and if any tubing is leaking or becoming loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathmineral Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I voted option three, I don't really go either why on the matter much. I would say I probably prefer a window but I'm much indifferent about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Yes and no. If I had a computer in one case long enough or put together a permanent build I would love to show off the water cooled bling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I prefer windows to show off my stuff and to see when it needs cleaned. I too have owned an acrylic case and they are a PIA to keep clean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword_fish Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) voted yes not just for show offs. my rig used to sit under my desk(without it's window yet) and since i moved it to right side above my desk (it was actually sitting on a platform bolted at the concrete wall, for shock proofing reasons....clumsy me sometimes that's why ) . idk but seems i just want to see everything what i have done inside that case, and it was my first ever self built btw and how i love to see those guys inside the case grinning at me while sitting at my desk edit: and it's a quick reminder for dusting time Edited January 25, 2012 by sword_fish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjj226_Angel Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 To me a clean build is a happy build. I spend hours and hours hiding all the cables I possibly can. If I am going to wast my time making a clean build, then of course I want to see it. Of course it is also a curse. I am incredibly hypertensive about what I make being absolutely perfect right down the the least LED. With a no window case, this is pretty easy to do. However, with a windowed case, you have to make sure everything is positioned right, getting all the colors just right, hell I would probably get a person to tell me the color of the aura of the PC just so I could try and tweak that too to make it look perfect. The problem is, it never is. I don't even send pictures of it to the guy who got me into computers and is asking me for pictures. Every time I take my camera out, I always find ways to make the PC look better for the photo. It is driving me insane having a window, but I probably wouldn't have it any other way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to go out on a limb and say you are not good candidate for a plexi-glass case? hehe I am the opposite, I like the looks of the insides of things and seeing how it works, wires are part of that.I get a lot of hell over wire management and do a stellar job on customer builds, but on my own builds it just does not bother me, but then again, this is one of my favorite man made objects to look at ever Notice the lack of wire (or pipe) management.
