If you've the inclination and the time, get a generic case (mine was £30) and modify it to suit. Blowholes, inlet and outlet fans, it's all easily done.

And it saves you a pile of cash as well!

But I believe you can get a Lian Li(?) aluminium case for under $200.....:)


Try the Alternative Modding section of our fine forums for more case related info!

Hi Virus, welcome to the Forum,
I like very much the Juno P6 full tower for all the room available and for the pretty look, check this link (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/) for more info.

Black Ice USB case...

Black and chrome with red and green led's. 3- 5 1/4 bays, 2 3 1/2 bays +2 hidden. Two 80mm side case fans for card cooling. Front & rear 80mm case fans. Front USB ports and audio. Mine came with a 4 port usb hub mountable in either a large or small bay.

Case $90 no PSU. Case PSU combo's available (depends on where you order from). I got an Enermax whisper 431w PSU. total @$175

Sorry no pic... on computer at work. PI 150MHz!

Check pricewatch to find this case. Or check coolerguys.com for some good aluminum cases.

Another black case from Nikao... Mirror

This one is like the Black Ice, but it has 4 big bays and 2 small bays, + 4 hidden small bays. The bay cover plates are convex mirrors. No side blow-holes though. See a picture of it a newegg.com

yeah but what's the fun in having someone else fix your wc rig? (i guess the same could be said about pre-modding . . .o wait, it is . . .)
