Best case I ever bought was a closeout $12 plus ship/handling. No PSU though ;)

Wow, nice buy. It's sufficient for a F@H box for sure, where'd you get it from?

for $15 bucks, it might be useful as a "removable" motherboard tray for you guys who are going caseless...

you could remove the rear fangrill. In this way the airflow is improved and maybe the noise level. Otherwise a nice job :)

there is a case at newegg called the Audi XP for like $18, its a pretty sweet deal aswell.. comes with a window too, check it out ;D !
Saaya, unlike everyone else my opinion of this case is different. I do not like them at all. The build quality is cheap, the metal is flimsy, the plastic is *ugh* while *it may* look aesthetically OK, slightly, maybe.
I think you got ripped off for 17$.

:confused: yeah, its ugly alright, and the plastic sux, but for 17$...
and what makes you think the quality of the metal is cheap? i can assure you that its not. its not alu, but its pretty light and quite strong. ive been standing on this case and even jumping a bit (long story hehehe:D) and im 83 Kilos heavy! its still totally fine and didnt bend anywhere!!!
i really love the front part because it has room for 7 hds and there is still room between the hds to breathe if i use all slots. its a very well thougt through case design, except for the plastic crap. :rolleyes:

I think the holes in it are not for cooling but to save on metal costs :P
It looks OK, similar to what I got for my dads PC.
I woudlnt want one myself though, too cheap and nasty.

I hate those case but for 17$ it's a good deal IMO, you don't need some thing else to do a watercase or a lan comp.
I would be very cautious with the psu though, it might die at any time

wikkid find for $17, hope the mod comes out good :banana2:
Well I hope you have luck Saaya, the PSU is cheap and generic, also the metal is cheap, as said which makes it a pain to cut through as its flimsy so bends easily.
