Hi all, i need a case for my i7 project, Need something classy looking, nothing with windows or LED lights that look like a space ship, please no doors. Good airflow is a must and price around $125. Kind of getting old and wanted something not so flashy under my desk. :p:

Currently i have
Corsair 750W psu
Gigabyte UD5P
Core i7 920
Geforce 7800GTX(:rofl: waiting for a good deal) I know who runs that anymore.
Pair of old Raptors
Some Optical Drives

Thx all

Lian li's are some pretty nice cases. I selected a couple that are straight forward clean looking cases.

Good luck with the build:)

I would recommend a full aluminum case. The weight would surprise you if you have always had a SECC case. My gigantic V2000P is lighter than my old Antec Sonata 3. Really surprised me when I picked it up ;)

Furthermore, brushed aluminum is way more elegant than shiny paint.


A case should last you a good couple of years, which can't be said for most of the components in the PC. Considering your system components, I'd suggest to invest in a good case. Something like the Lian Li PC-9B would serve you well for years to come.

Thx for all the suggestions, i think i'll go with this case. I can live with teh door, but the main thing is that there are no windows or LED lights that bothers me. Silent and decent airflow.
