The build

[Jave]

In an effort to get others opinions, plus show off a bit, I am building a computer from scratch, and will give and take opinions for others on my choices.
First up...........The Case. This is already on the way, so if you don't like the choice, ohhhh well.





This will be the case that houses my new dream computer. Flame away at will.

Flame away at will.

You got it, boss. That looks like a case a nazi would go for.

[Kobeck]

looks like a case Bice would just love

[roadrash]

what is that outer. .. cover. . or whatever it is

mine don't have that. . they just hang their parts out in the open for the world to see

The case has a very elegant stying about it. The front bezel is a beautifully machined piece of aluminum, that gives the front of the case a three dimensional look as the light strikes it.

The drive bay face plates are also aluminum, with a "brushed" finish. They contrast quite nicely with the machine work on the front bezel. The power and reset buttons are made from aluminum as well.

In fact, most of the items that are plastic on the majority of cases are made of aluminum on this one actually, which gives this case a feeling of quality about it.

This does add to the weight of it slightly, but not too much. It's only slightly heavier than the average mid tower case.

The rest of the case is steel............no crappy plastic parts!!!!

Are you gonna stash money or family jewels in it?

Are you gonna stash money or family jewels in it?

The case was only $100 bucks...........not bad for the quality you are recieving.

[roadrash]

I would have saved the money on the case, and put the money into important things, like actual computer components

My computer is housed in a paper Acme bag.

I wish I had a paper bag for my computer.

I have the component parts stacked in a corner with a picture of Jave's case sitting behind them.

For Al cases, I would have gone with then Antec P160. But like you said, its already on the way.

Antec P160 is very efficient in heat dissipation, among many other subtle features.
