I've found the perfect case

[JonSimonzi]

Now, I understand perfect is a relative term which is different to different people, but after browsing hundreds of cases at numerous sites, I found one that I can't find a single thing I don't like about it.

Silverstone FT01B-W (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163121)

Every other single case I can pick out at least one thing I dislike about them to make me not want them. Antec 900, TT Armor, CM 690, Cosmos, stackers, etc... Dislike something in all of them. But this one... It's beautiful. Just wish I could find a review of it to get the full deal, but I'll be ordering it soon enough regardless.

couldn't find a review but this guy modded it for his wc rig:

pretty slick looking case. post up once you get it running. I would be interested to see how much usable room is in there.

Let us know how it goes, please.
It should be a pretty good case for that kind of $$! :soda:

I agree. That price is pretty steep considering it's just a midtower. As long as you like it though, that's all the matters.

All of Silverstone's cases are pricey. I almost settled on just getting a CM 690, but I fell in love with that case when I saw it. Worth the extra money to me. I might not buy it myself, I might leave it as a Christmas present for my fiancee to get me. We'll see.

I don't see what you're gaining over the 690 for $150 more

Personal taste mainly. An all black interior. No cheezey chrome stripes. Stronger, all aluminum construction vs cheap steel and plastic. Don't get me wrong, the CM690 is an amazing case and my 2nd choice. I'd just rather pay the extra money to get a case that's perfect to me, instead of one that's just really good :)

The TJ07 is a sexy case, and get what you like and works for you, who cares what they think....they only have to look at it for a few seconds. You see it every day. :)

Last year, maybe more now, I got a Lian-Li A10B, think I was one of the first to post on here and XS with it too, and all the reviews I read said it was a cable routing nightmare...no places to hide or tuck cables away and made it look bad, PSU bracket pointed the wrong way, etc.

The same could be said for the "Rocketfish" case a few months back, people either hated it or loved it. Same thing, no where to hide cables, but the other side of the party determined with a case that big, cable management doesn't really matter.

As long as you like and enjoy what you decide on, that's all that matters. If it looks good after you spend 6 hours assembling it, even better. :beer:

Hope ya like the new case. :)




And yes....it actually took me 6 hours to build the Rocketfish rig. There really ARE not many places to tuck cables lol.:screwy:

I found something very wrong with this : the Price :p
Why dont you spend 80-100 bucks more and get the SS full towers, I heard they are the best cases,specially for WC setups

[JonSimonzi]

I thought about a TJ07. But I don't need that much room, and hardly ever see myself setting up a WC setup.

[slizacker]

I'm pretty jealous about now, I found myself drooling at the pics of that case. Wish I could afford it. :bang head

is Antec 900 good enough?

The Antec 900 is a phenomenal case, I'm not denying it. But there are too many little things I don't like about it. I don't like that the top isn't flat. I don't like that zigzag pattern thing looking at the top along the front (I mean, wtf is that?), I dislike that it has drive bays from top to bottom, I don't like the design of the window. All little things like that.
