this is my new case which i got today. it looks alrite (well to me it does, sort of) but the metal is very weak and a bit sh*t more like it. its pretty big, well standard size probably becoz ive normall had micro atx and not mid atx cases.

overall its got plenty of space and ive put my mobo and everything inside it.

hav a look at the images nd let me know wat u think. it isnt really modded but i mite do soon.

Looks nice... But I can tell the metal is quite flimsy from just the pictures. Aluminum I'm assuming...

yeh i mean u can bend the metal wid ur fingers. (the metal pieces that u take off fom the drive bays nd that) it gets scratched so easily azwell.

but for 15 pounds..... wat more can u expect.
 
Not bad, you going to mod it, stick some lights in it, maybe add a side panel or paint it etc..?
 
The guts look pretty much like my secondary box does, although the outside is rather different to start with plus all the modding I did to it. It's one of the better case interiors to work with despite not having removable drive cages.

waz thinking of painting it and adding a side panel but can t really find any of the right plastic, the soft one that allows holes to be drilled without breaking or chipping.

is there any sort of paint or finishing that will protect the case from getting scratched coz it gets scratched really easily coz its smooth.
 
dunno about paint.

You can get special DIY side panel kits, so that would be easyer.
 
i have looked around the decent uk websites like overclockers uk and cant find any :\
 
I have that same case in black,But it has a clear side panel with lighted fans.
Today they make all kinds of cases,That come in all kinds of different shapes and sizes. ..Your case in nice,But I perfer to paint most of my cases black or silver...

thx. i will try to get a side panel or make one to jazz the case up a bit.
 
I guess it all depends on where you are at,But do you have a home depot or
orchid supply near you ? What you are looking for is called plixa glass and comes in all kinds of sizes.. You should be able to buy it almost anywhere.
Also some glass shops carry it. My case all ready came with the side panel,
but i have customized some that didn't come with a side panel. You will also need a couple of colored lighted fans and some nice allen bolts,Or what ever
you want to hold on the Plixa glass on...
