Needs blowhole....Does it have a mobo tray?

I thinks it's magic...it lights up without anything hooked up to it...maybe it's haunted.

Your friend may have a point...what's cool today...may not be tomorrow. Good quality middle of the road Aluminum cases seem to be fairly timeless. My $.02

if your gonna game with it id say make sure it has airflow it doesnt look like theres any sort of outlet or inlet for that matter for a front intake fan. like i vent to allow air to pass... this can make or break a case and/or your PC parts. My case i modded myself because of such a thing and it makes a world of difference.

Ok so that one doesn't have sufficient airflow and since I want to use this for games I need that and I'll be using the x800 xt which produces alot of heat.
How do these look in respect of airflow/gaming and looks?

This is something that YOU will have to look at...every day!
My suggestion is to google search the ones you are considering, and read all the reviews you can find.
Definately look for one with a removeable Motherboard Tray!
Also, if you plan on adding a fan controller, consider a case with out a front door, I was limited in choices of fan controllers because my door only has so much space behind it.
(Personaly, I like the Tsunami, it has style that you probably won't get tired of looking at for quite some time).

:^)

I have the Tsunami silver one with a window. I really like it.. it's got pretty nice airflow and a decent amount of space. The sides are kind of thin, but the bottom is think, the front is very thick, and the back is thick. The whole case is very well documented and user friendly, and does not have any tight spots. The HD holders swing out nicely, the PSU slipped in fairly easily, and the cablng for the external hookups are very professionally taken care of. I would strongly recommend this case to you, as it is both something nice to look at, and a very well built case.

I would go with the tsunami, but this is you, not me.

I reccomend the xaser 3...how much are you looking to spend?

I don't care how much it costs I just want a case /computer for gaming. If there are better gaming cases than the tsunami i'll look into them. Just not some 300 dollar case lol. pretty much $200 abd under

Well, as i said, i reccomend my xaser 3, it has an infinite amount of space. No mobo tray, but it isnt needed due to the size, and its 19kg...just eat your spinach

Yeah, it took me 2 months to decide on a case

If you get the silver version, it is all aluminium and it weighs about 11kg i think.

What color do you want? There are tonnes of cases, so take your time, i chose the xaser as it fitted all of my preferences, you may have different plans..i do not know

Most people are going to wan't a different case. Some like them tall and skinny, while others like them short and fat. I myself am into the latter.

You have to look around and see what each case offers . . .fans, drive bays and their location, removable motherboard tray, psu included, price range . . .too many variables. My suggestion is to browse pricegrabber and newegg.

IMO there is nothing better than the Wavemaster from Cooler Master

Or you could get the new CMSTacker which is a vry big and extremely nice case i means its prolly got better aifflow than the Wavemaster, tis got a mobo fan, fans that you put into the 5.25" drivebays if you arent useing them and it looks really cool to me i saw it at CPL and man it was huge! Oh and the CMstacker is BTX compatible which is the new standard comming soon well not sure how soon but im sure soon.
