Hi! I want a review of my case? I'm thinking about selling it (check out For Sale forum) and was wondering what you guys/gals think it's worth. Tell me what price range you think It is worth. It will come with:

1. The case :)
2. Oval Window on the side.
3. 120mm blowhole.
4. Front intake cutout (with 80mm fan).
5. Two exhalers (60mm)
6. 200 Watt Sparkle PSU (if needed)

I also have a cold cathode light, but if you want it to come with it you would have to pay about $25 more. It costs $40 at pcmods (where I bought it).

<< Been seen. Been done....nothing new. It sucks. >>



Being an asshole doesn't help anyone. Cpals - I like it. Nice clean mod. Not too much done, but enough to make it cool. The important thing is if you like it. I think that windows and such are used a lot these days, but if that's what ya want then more power to ya.

It looks nice. Nothing wrong if it's already been done, etc. Modding your case involves your own personal preferences :)

I don't really care about your opinion. I'm going to sell it and I was wondering how much you think I could sell it for being reasonable. I never said it wasn't an awesome mod or a new kind of mod. I just listed my case and asked for an answer. Thanks for your insightful answer.

hey man people exist at different levels of modding, not everyone wants to be innovative they just want to make a nice looking case. and as for lights and a window you could say that that was all i did
this forums does not allow image linking so click here for a pic.
but then again you didn't spend 120 hours with a dremel in your hand cuting those flames out of a steel case.
if you are so into case modding why are you posting in a hardware site forum not a case mod forum like my site pheaton.com
windows and lights are what alot of people like and they are relitivley easy mods, so if you want to see more innovative modding go look for them or do one yourself and send some pic's of it to me you may actually win something for it.

Pretty sweet case. How much do you think I could get for my case? including the fans, but not the light.

as much as i agree the mod has been overly done.. the only time it's really annoying is going thru a mod site seeing the same thing over.

but.. no need to say it sucks. it's plain and simple. maybe that's what he wanted. And if you just use a dremel.. i commend all that do.. i can't sit there and do that.. i just pulled out a jig saw and sliced in a hole ;) And this was only for a 120mm fan... hehehe.

not be rude man but the reselling market for mods isn't that high, 4niktor, the guy who has the first maxpc rig of the month tried to sell his case and only got like 200 bux for it.
if you ebayed it you may get around a hundred or so for it with the light, but i have seen cases that are not really much go for 200+, it all depends on the auction. i start the bidding at 75 and see where it goes.

I'm not really looking to make a bundle off of it, just enough to buy a new case with the money. $75 sounds good to me.

I don't really care about your opinion

By asking "How's my Case ?", you're basically asking for opinions although hes quite harsh.

Critique the case, the good and bad, don't just say "it sucks", that doesn't help much.

The side looks good and clean, but the paint job on the front looks a little messy.

OK, so you read the topic, but if you had read the actual post you would see that I'm actually looking for price reviews mainly. Also, for a better front view click here: http://www.cpals.net/case/front.jpg

I'm not going to sit here and argue with you.

The first line in your actual post "Hi! I want a review of my case"
If thats not asking for opinions, I don't know what is.

I'm not arguing, just stating a point. Also, if it helps, I changed the topic for ya.

This whole thread started off the wrong way, oh well... :confused:

I have to agree here. I have seen a few sites that sell mods for quite a bit of money, but when it comes down to it most people just do the stuff themselves. Especially here! Set it up on E-bay, and see what you get. You could also make some flyers and post them up at your local high school and see if you can get any bites there. I have done the "usual" mods myself so I guess my case sucks too. Oh well.

The case looks good. I would equate selling a modded case to selling a custom car. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" If you think $75 is reasonable then list it for $125 or $100 and see what you are offered. There are those who can not or do not want to mod their own cases. That is a perfect case for them.

I've never sold on eBay before, is it difficult to setup and is it safe or still fraudulant like it used to be?

Thanks.
