lost Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 (edited) case#1 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...3718&CatId=1509 not bad, like the blue, but the white seems kinda weird. i like the solid side panel which leaves room for a custom side job ^^ but i hate how it limits how many 3.5" bays you can have. it gives u 2 and 2 internal so with a floppy dirve, u can only have 3 hds which suck because i already have 3 (a 120, 40 and 40) but i wanna buy a 4th one later on, but with that case i can't do that plus it doesn't have headphone+mic jacks at the front which will be annoying everytime i wanna put my headphones when i play CS. case#2 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/ca...ge=3&CatId=1509 the color seems a little weird but its cheap. has a lot of internal 3.5" bays for extra hds and front headphone+mic jacks. and it comes with a power supply. but the glass seems odd. a friend of mine has a similar case, and her glass is a little scratches up, and there's dust inside, and i dont want to do all that cleaning. and do they have extra side panels? i couldn't find any. extra side panels for when i want to do a custom job. case#3 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...&Tab=1&NoMapp=0 i like the new silver 1 a little more then the black 1. its nice the lights at the front seems blah to me. i usually leave the comp on at night and that might get annoying. and the side panel. same problem as case#2, can i buy solid panels for it to do a custom job? it has front audio jacks which is good and a lot of internal bays case#4 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/ca...ge=4&CatId=1509 the black version of #3, its not bad but i like the gray 1 case#5 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...5237&CatId=1509 i like the blackness. and it leaves room for a lot of custom jobs like with the front and side, but 1 of the reasons why it annoys me is because it only has only 3 3.5" bays for a harddrive. and i already have 3, where will i put my new 200 gig which i will buy? case#6 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...7097&CatId=1509 just like case #2, but black and blacks always good 1 problem.. the side panel, do they have solid ones i can work off? some other cases i looked at but didn't give much thought http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...5378&CatId=1509 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...&Tab=1&NoMapp=0 ** for the cases that come with modded side panels, can i find original ones that are solid so i can do my own modding? and for the case with the front glass panel will they get scratches up easily? ** Edited October 11, 2004 by lost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 I'd widen your search to other websites such as www.newegg.com, www.zipzoomfly.com, and www.xoxide.com You can find a lot of cool custom cases at those sites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 yea but i'm gonna stick with tigerdirect cuz they screwed me over. i first ordered a yellow cheiftec case from them and it wasn't yellow so i got that returned for a black case, and now that 1s broken so i'm returning that for another one. dang them! and i dont care if its not cuztomised, i wanna do some of the customizing myself like the side panels (if i can eve buy extra ones for some cases?)

imm0rt41 Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 I have case #4 in silver and it is a great case, nothing more to say heh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodySunday Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 (edited) good luck getting anything more than a hassel from tigerdirect Absolutely. Not only did they hang up on me on the phone they gave me so much crap when I went to the store and talked to them in person. I no longer buy from them or recommend any one to buy from them. But back to the topic I have worked with some of those Chieftech cases and I like them considered them for one of my own rigs.

Leldorion Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 (edited) I can personally attest that #6 is a steaming pile of cheap parts. As for my opinion on which one you should get....maybe #1 or #5...I like simpler designs with good airflow and not too many flashy lights...both of those need the front flap deal open in order to get to your drives which I find an annoyance though.

lost Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 well i like the cheiftec cases to. u can easily hide the flashy lights just by closing the flap :-P but gah if they had a few more internal 3.5" bays i would be happy and consider them. isn't there any way to add more?

Leldorion Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 How many 3.5" drive bays do you need and for what? I'm assuming that's for hd's or temp monitors/fan controllers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
