ok so i'm looking into a new case.. i realised i don't need all this fancy-pancy plastic and swivel doors, i want something that does what i want it to.
Now i want a case that's real f'ing tall... like tall cases for some reason, and i don't want it to be very audacious. i found a really nice one with amazing cooling tech here:

http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/cas-204.html?mv_pc=5255

at first i thought it just had like 50 bays, but it actualy only has 2 bays (can convert one to 3.5" if you want) and the rest is all cooling... amazing airflow system as you can see in the picture they have showing the airflow.

anyways, what do you guys think? any suggestions? just see what this one looks like, and know that i like very much the way that is, and don't need anything more flashy....

i was tyhinking too (here goes the tweaker in me, tweaking stuff in my mind before i even have it) ok it has an aptional 300mm side fan; now that fan is not included in the diagram, which means without the fan you still have the great airflow... i was thinking take out that mesh cover, slap some plexi behind it, put some bolts around (for porthole effect) and VIOLA! you have a sexy round window.... so i get need fufilled (un-audacious, simple, big) btu i ALSO get my tweaker side satesfied, so i can still have a glowy-flowy interal sexy-ness.... anyways.......

but yeah.. i relaly like that one

hm... that seems a lil expensive for my tastes... why not get something cheap and mod it... or build ur own case... for that matter u can get a XASER III from thermaltake... those are nice, i have the lanfire myself.

Well, if you can afford it, go for it! But 200 dollars is alot of money, you could save up and get a vid card, or ram, or w/e

or get a cheaper case... and a vid card... im not sure if that case is really worth all that extra money... i mean, there are other cases that im sure perform just as well but dont cost as much... i still vote though for making ur own case.. out of like... a celtic cross or soemthing nifty that would call to u eh

lol. well i already have backordered a X800 XT PE.. so a video card is not needed :-D and i'm not going to be getting a new one for about 5 or 6 months (when my classes start at Fullsail) in wheich case i'm padding my student loan for about $3500 to buy a car; and if i find a good one for less then i'll have extra to fix up the car and/or get computer mods

as for the making my own case; i'd love to but you have to take into account all the variable: i'd need materials, tools, accesories allt hat jazz... i looked into a 8mm hole saw, and just the bit itself was $16, not including a $8 bit conversion you need to fit drills... and i think with all the stuff i'd need to make my own case that it'd get close to the price anwyays. Plus i'm lazy and time-pressed and i dont wanna f anythign up :-D

Kind of confusing...the description says its made of "1.0mm steel", but the specs below say "aluminum body"????

(also, it has 11 front 5.25" bays)
I don't think they come much Taller!
