Acrylic cases....

[Shimmishim]

Compared to aluminum cases... how do acrylic cases compare?

they seem to have a steep price tag... or some of them do...

worth it?

cooling good? bad?

thanks!

I have noticed that almost all Acrylic cases are abover the $170.00 mark. Thought about getting once, and i have heard cooling isint to good, and that the tend to allow more noise to slip through than aluminum.

not true, if you're willin to sacrifice some time to get one of the DIY kits, they can be had for ~100 bux.

Also, the BETTER quality one's are ~170. The C3 Clear Case is the BEST one on the market, by far there's a review up on systemcooling.com.

I've also heard good stuff about the beantech models.
