Hi all! I've been out of the loop for a few months and it seems things have changed a bit - it's all A64 these days and i'm hearin strange acronyms like tccd ... I've been using a case which i got for $5 from a computer show, painted black on the outside and red on the inside and made a side of plexi-glass. Since i have to lay my hdd's on the bottom of the case, as there's no more bays... (there were 3 3.5" bays, and 6 5.25") I'm thinking that it's time to get a new case... I could put the drives into another system, so capacity isnt a requirement here...all I would like to know is...to you, what's the hottest thing out now? (lol...i suppose i should clarify hot to mean 'sexy' as opposed to 'warm' - only with overclockers would such a distinction be necessary...) ;)
 
I still think lan lian li cases are really sleek looking. I also like the cheiftec dragon in yellow.

As for brand new and greatest... I dunno, not really sure, hehe
 
I would sugguest this case if you can afford to plunk down the cash for itlinky .I love mine very easy to work with and it looks awsome with the lights off and the case light on.Though that new antec is really sweet looking I am sensing a future birthday present :D
 
yeah cid. im waiting for that too. i like the lian lis, but i think the P180 looks cleaner and will be quieter. hopefully its under $130, but i bet it'll be more.
 
Oh mommie that case is COOL!!!! I am going to definently ditch my xaser3 for that beast. I have gotton annoyed by the biggness of it and it weighing a thousand pounds. So how is the cooling on that antec, am i correct on 2 front intakes, 1 bottom middle, 1 back exaust, and 1 top exaust.

that case looks sweet but the design dosn't look to good IMO, heat rises and the PSU is on the bottom. so if you happen to have a hot PSU then your ambient temp would go up a little wouldn't it?

Negative , the PSU is sectioned off from the rest of the case (minus a whole for feeding the power cables) . Its like you built a "PSU box" and are mounting it to the bottom of your case .
