Yet another new person looking for expert advice

Took a month to get my CYO case, but this is because my powder coat color was on back order. If nothing is on back order you should have it in about 2 weeks.

Powder coating is $150 if done by them so you may not want to go that route and just choose one of the basic blacks or aluminum (aluminium for you guys across the pond) cases.

Good to know, thanks. I'm planning to get the black mirror coat that they offer (I think it looks really neat with the acrylic). I travel a lot for work, so it takes some planning to make sure that I'm home when packages arrive.

Just a few pics for you to see the quality of the cases they send. I love my U2-UFO.

That is one sexy looking case, thanks for posting that, I'm pretty excited about getting one myself now. Do you happen to have a picture from above showing the motherboard and drives? I'm making a block diagram of how I'm going to lay out all my parts, and I come up with less than an inch of space between my video card and my optical drive, which worries me a bit. I'm thinking I may need the UFO extended to fit what I have planned. Seeing how yours came together will certainly help my decision though.

Thanks,

Hey OP, why not something like this? Unless you got kids n' cats, it's a lot more neat looking............

I'm biased, it's my baby.

That one looks nice too, but I personally like the look of everything being contained. Also, I came up with an idea for wire management I want to try out, but it will need some extra room in the case, so I think I'm going to go with the extended version. I think I also want to change my fan controller to this one. It doesn't have RPM and temps on it, but it does have an extra 2 channels on it that I can hook lights up to (and it's cheaper )
I think I'll order the case a little later this week so that it will hopefully be delivered around when I am home next.
