Who Makes the Best Full Tower Case??

extremecorvette · May 22, 2004

I'm looking for a full tower case for my next project. I have the Raidmax 668 case and ran out of room in it, so for my next project I wold like to have more room and it still look good. What cases out there look good and are still bigger than just
- External: 4 x 5.25", 2x 3.5".

Well if you want even more room look to the chieftec dragons big brothers http://store.yahoo.com/directron/chieftecfull.html
3 x 8cm front, 2 x 8cm. 1 x 9cm rear fans, and 2 removeable 3.5" cages that can hold 3 x 3.5" HDDs each, 6 x 5.25" external drives and 2 x 3.5" external bays.

Chieftecs are good, so are Addtronics, but I really like the Chenbro Genie for a large case with a lot of room.

I have the Chieftec Dragon DA series. It's a server tower and is about 5 inches taller than the Full and Mid sized tower cases.

I like that Chieftec case, does any one make some more colors? What about acrylic windows?

Sony is your case Aluminum or Steel?

Stedeman · May 23, 2004

They do make them in all colors but they are really hard to find at a decent price. You would do better to buy a white one and have it painted for you.

I restore cars and paint them my self. I have a $500 piant gun, and I was thinking about doing that also. Are those cases Aluminum or Steel? I have some paint left over from painting my dads corvette. I cars at auction wrecked them fix them. I got my dad a 00 corvette with 8k miles for 16k at auction and only put 2k in paint and parts in to it. My Viper came from auction also wrecked and I had to put 6k in to it. I'm working on 02 Cady Eldorado ECT, 01 Olds Intrigue GL, and 00 Accord EX.

I don't know if paint used on cars would be the best. I think a vinyl paint used in the cars would be befect. I was going to chrome the frame. That would cover the back and inside. I would still want to paint the front cover and panels. I don't know, what to do. That case is nice but I think I would like to see it before getting it. Is there any other cases out there you guys like? I need that same size for my chiller.

Thanks for your help guys.

The Lian-Li V2000 is easily the most functional, best looking, and water-cooling friendly case out there. I plan on getting one of these for my next project and you can pick up the black ones for aroudn $249.99 on ebay (vs. $299 on most reseller sites).

Holy crap, that case is NICE. If you have the $$$ and some good painting equipment, and take a little time to do it right, that case would provide some excellent results.

I just a got a Dragon Full tower and it is great. A note about that Aspire case, if youg et it ditch the PSU. i have an aspire case and my PSU is now going dead after only 4 months of use. So ditch its generic crap and get an Antec of something.

extremecorvette · May 23, 2004

I think this is the best case I've ever seen.

I wish it had a front like the one I have with a door.

BlueAqua · May 24, 2004

I second the Lian Li PC V-2000.

That will be my next case, finally decided to upgrade from my Shuttle and move into watercooling.

I have some very good ideas for this case.

Post where you find the best pricing for it.
