When a case costs more than the components...

My CM 810 Stacker is all the case I'll need for a long time.

Same here, except mine is an STC-T01 instead of an 810. I like the flippable motherboard tray.

$999 for a carbon fiber case... I can understand but is carbon fiber really that important? If the PC gets hot enough to melt the plastics, it's probably too hot anyhow.

Another $999 case, this time a CM 830 with desert camouflage paint job.

I rather buy myself a custom-made wind tunnel system. 2 large AC fans should do the job.

A case is a case, I don't see the purpose of a 629.99 case. But the U2-UFO Duality Audioaficionado I think is worth everypenny (that is if I had the money.)

Hell of alot cheaper then those other cases, and very, very roomy with no need for another other fans except the two it comes with.

I got my CM Stacker 810 for ~$130 (no PS or side window). That's pretty entry level price wise for a full featured tower. It will accomodate three 120mm quiet fans in the front panel, one on top & two in back with the option of a cross-flow fan on the left side to blow across the motherboard.

The only thing making any significant noise will be the graphics card.

I'm rather happy with my $250 Lian-Li and $50 RocketFish.


.....but if someone wants to throw a MM case my way, hey, I can easily take the 120.3 out of the RF.

LOL Is that Jennifer Aniston selling her case at a Hollywood auction?

Newegg used to stock many of those CM 830 cases with the custom paint jobs for $1k. I see they stopped selling them though. I'm sure they didn't sell many, if any.

haha! Frankly, the AC fans we use may be more powerful!
