Flashy New Case
Here's the case for my new 'puter.



Yeah, I got it a few months ago, and it's still incomplete but it's worth showin' off a little. That's a nice little temp gauge on the front. Here's the pros and cons of this case:

Pros--
(1) Pre-modded to look FANTASTIC
(2) Easy to take apart and put back together
(3) Nice built-in doors for 2 ide optical drives, so you don't HAVE to match colors
(4) Lightweight and lots of places to install fans
(5) Comes with 350w power supply

Cons--
(1) Temp gauge is Farenheit, only. Celcius is just easier to read, but this is not major.
(2) Knockout for firewire port in front, but front ports built into a block attached to face panel prevents the installation of said firewire port
(3) Front audio not equipped with mobo connectors, so must route out the back and back into the audio card outputs
(4) Blowhole fan is set too far back to install a 2- or 3- fan power supply
(5) Comes with 350w power supply

Some of those cons are easily worked around and some can even be interpreted as "pros" depending upon the hardware you purchase to fill it, so don't hold any of this against the case. It really does look great. Once everything is assembled, I'll post benchmarks to see if it performs as good as it looks.

If you want one, too, or just want to compare it to some other cases, here's where you can find it on newegg.
