xitshsif,

Could that side duct be removed, and a fan added, without having to do any modding, other than buying the fan and filter?

I found a CM centurion case that I want:

******/product/productdetails.aspx?item=11-119-109

But, when I signed up for an account it wouldn't complete without credit card information. So I assume that they do not accept checks or money orders. I going to continue looking, but everything that I found was alot more expensive. If I hadn't seen this one, I probably would have bought one of them, but now I can't because chiefvalue appealed to my miserly side.

EDIT: Hmm, for some reason, AT didn't like my link. It keep removing the www.chiefvalue.com portion and adding *s instead.

Thanks bamacre, but I didn't see a side duct. It looks like a good case, but it is $30 more, and all that I saw extra was a couple of external SATA slots, and I don't need those.

I like the style myself, but it isn't that different from the Centurion case that I had found. In fact, that Newegg image look like the Centurion, except the front panel style and it doesn't appear to have a front I/O panel. Price isn't everything, but it sure counts.

wOOt,

I think that you are telling me what you like, not what I'm looking for. All that I could find, were silver with black highlights, and the prices were even higher than what I have found.

Seekermeister, If PRICE is an object, & if you could do blue & deal w/a MIR, FRYS has the previously mentioned Ultra case for FREE, after dealing with MIR hooha.

What's wrong with the Centurion 5 case that NuAlphaMan linked above? There's two links there and the first one is straight black; the second one is the one with the blue bezel. Take a look at the additional pictures. It even has the front I/O that you're looking for.

Also, if you buy the case from the egg, you can pay via paypal and get the free shipping.

That is just the point. Price is not everything. All of these case will do the basic task of holding the components together, but some do that in a way that is better than others. Like with anything, the object is to get the most for the buck, not just buy anything, regardless of the price. At this point, I haven't ruled out your link, but it is not exactly what I want.

I explained what I didn't like about both links in NuAlphaMans post, right below it.

True, I wanted to see if you liked it though
