      I never saw the attraction in those big transparent cases full of LEDs... it's comparable to fitting neon lights underneath your car in my eyes. As long as I can get inside my case easily and it is spacious, a plain black box (or even beige!) is fine in my eyes

        I agree.
        It is not the transparency or the neon that I like about this case - it is the steel frame, giant fans, rugged almost military look. If I get it I will definately run it with no lights in it.

          I agree, but the cases they produce now are better than the beige ones which were the norm when I built my first one about 14 years ago! What I tend to do is have my PC and keep it relatively up to date - It's due a few replacement parts niow but as I'm working away I can't really justify the expense. Whatever I upgrade, the old part goes into one of the kids PC's.
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

            How noisy is it with all those fans? The white noise would drive me bonkers.

              Obviously I can't speak for that case, but fans don't have to be noisy if they're well-made.

                That's well outside my budget (I reckon £1000 max considering I have monitors already) but I'd still be interested to see what you built for that kind of money. I assume you must have some specialist components for that kind of cash - top-end graphics card or some fancy RAID system perhaps?
