my budget is like from 80 -110 american dollars (im canadian)

so ya if u have any recommendations on a clean cut case please let me know


i was looking at the super lanboy but I really hate the blue thing on the front

weight doesnt matter TOO TOO much just size is more a factor...thanks!

You can always go for the normal lanboy. that case is also pretty nice.

Its not as sleek as the lian li, but the antec slk3000b might do what you want, and its cheap. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129152

If your going to buy this case don't buy it from newegg. Check out Amazon they have it for $43.69 WITH free shipping. I got mine in 4 days from the day I ordered. It's a great case, but it may be too heavy for your application.

The Super Lanboy can easily be modded so there is no blue in the front. All you have to do is remove the Blue LED fan. I second the SLK3000B, its a great case and is the right size for lans. Here is another option...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811133142
I know you said clean looking, but this has some interesting features that you may like.
Then there is also this one...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811125486

well no, like I love blue, like that will be my lighting scheme just that ice cube square design thing I hate...


that thermaltake viking...the design isnt too bad...it doesnt scream ugly ... how does the lcd work...is there temperature things i have to place or what?

I own a Lian Li PC-65 and I think its a fantastic case. If you are looking for a case that is very attracted, in a more reserved sort of way then Lian Li cases are what you are looking for. IMHO they look far more attractive in person than in pictures. They don't shout out "HEY LOOK AT ME!" like some cases do, but their looks never get old.

Also I should add that this case is an absolute dream to work on. I have built plenty of machines on junky steel cases with sharp edges, cramped interiors and no slide out trays or drive bays and after working on a case like this one it makes you wonder why its so hard for other companies to get it right like this.

Now that is not to say this is the only great case out there. The Antec case that Alchemy1 posted is also a great case. It is not aluminum and does not have the slide out motherboard tray, but it is very well designed and is a steal at that price.

yes the slk3000b is looking like a winner...how hard is the material for cutting a window in?

im reading reviews on the super lanboy, and they all say it looks better in real life...can any one relate...?

Here is a link to a thread where somone put a window in their SLK3000B. The member's name is Dukeman...maybe he can help you out with your question.

I've been looking for a nice clean-cut case for a while as well. There are some good one out there for your price range, you just have to look.

Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000BWA Mid-Tower
Raidmax Scorpio Mid-Tower
NZXT Trinitity Mid-Tower*
Lian-Li PC-60USB Mid-Tower

*That NZXT case is steel, and not very good if you want to go for low temps, but I just included it because it looks darn cool.

well sorry bacon the ones u posted werent exactly what i had in mind, thanks for the post though

i think im going to go with the SLK3000B and do a window mod like dukeman's thanks for the post!

definetly buy a Lian Li ,the cases are made extremely good and are easy to mod

personal pet peeves but why are they still making cases without slide out mobo trays and driver cages? and for the love of God why can't they standardize the front panel connectors?

sorry, been searching for a cheapish case the last few days myself...

Beautiful mobo rear!!

Go for the lili.

Here's mine... (b&w night shot so you can't see my scratches/dirty window!!)

That white light is sweet even though it is black and white shot.
