Cool looking and useful chassis

[faye]

Hi all,

i want to get a cool looking case, aluminium may be.
still want to make it efficient and useful.

I saw some exaggerated case... good looking but not good in ventilation.

My budget is around $90 to $100
Please also provide pictures...
here in Hong Kong may not get all the case i want.. I want to get the Coolermaster Stack 830... wow, that case is amazing, anyone got a price for that one?

=)

Gigabyte 3D Aurora Case

any good.

I find it like around $110 which i still find it quite nice.
it includes 3x 12cm fans.

the most impressive is there is a led light shooting down on the floor

Antec P-180 was on sale for 99.99 at newegg after MIR. I got it from another place since newegg charges me tax but imo, it's really aesthetically beautiful. Aluminum, Steel, and plastic in all the places it could be. Door is a little flimsy but I see how it works.

If you had more to spend I'd go for a Lian-Li hands down.
Their site.

Lastly this is what I got for my sister, it's really cheap, looks spiffy, and practically weighs less than the packaging and box it came in!

The Lian-Li V1000 is also a good one.

Comparing the Aurora and V1000, which do u think it is better?

My psu only has 1 fan(exhaust), no big fan for intake so the advantage for V1000 (psu on the bottom) may not be useful here.

Also, just want make sure that is v1000 open on the right instead of left?

The 3d Aurora is a good case, and it has the upgradability for water cooling if u'd like to go that route in the future.

oh i just find out the the v1000 doesn't have a reset button.
hmmm...
