I hate my case. It's wabbly, dusty, and sticky (spilled a coke on it, not jizz). I want to get a new cool case for when I upgrade my puter. I was thinking about a lian-li pc60, but does anyone know of better and/or cheaper ones? what about case mods? I really like those neon windows and temp gauges on the front and neat stuff like that. post links and pics please!

I'd do it with acrylic or lexan over plexi, plexi is too weak.

You want a MANS case you want the antec SX1030 B. This sucker could probably take a fall off a 10 storey building and still remain in perfect atx standard. Plus its got a kickass PSU a groovy swingy door thing and EVERY metal part folded. i've had my case for nearly a year now with constant useage and i've never once cut myself working on the inside of it. And if you want to rack up a good electricity bill it comes in 400 watt style as well :) with more than enough power leads for shit loads of stuff.

(the american site was fucking up for me at the time http://www.antec-inc.com)

EDIT: IMPORTANT POINT IT HAS A SWINGY DOOR! this would solves iconos problems instantly

You picked up a pretty nice case, but there's one problem.  It's not been modded, and that just won't do.  Rather than giving my own views and tips on this, I'll direct you to: Bit-Tech

They have nice walkthrough guides for your first mod attempts, interesting ideas to try, and relyable companies to purchase mod parts from.  If you need any tips / questions answered from there, fire away and I'll do what I can to help.  And for god's sake, give that box a paint job.   rolleyes.gif

NOOOOOOO me and CK think alike AHHH ok think un -scientific thoughts......wait no i'm doing a fucking astrophysics degree can't do that!  GAHHHH!....ahem. yeah its a quality case the only disadvantage and i mean the ONLY one (well apart from it not being modded i guess if you like that sort of thing) is that it doesnt have a motherbaord tray you can take out. but to be honest the only real reason you'd need to take yer MOBO out would be to put the heatsink on and if you did that from an earth tray the pressure would bend the mobo causing it to snap :). Get some YS-Tech fans for more air flow .though the ones that come with the case are plenty fine.
