The only thing thats holding me back from buying this case is the fact that the glass is located outside of the case instead of inside. It looks really nasty in person. With that in mind, is there another case similar in design and size with the said difference ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: Price must be <=$100. Thanks.

Does it need to be Aluminum and can it be a little more ricey?

I think you might be able to find a Lian-Li PC65. This was my first computer case, and has not failed me. I have occasionally seen the price drop to around 88$ on sale for PC-61 and then 20$ extra for window'ed side panel (makes a PC-61 into a PC-65).

I just bought an Antec Super Lanboy the other day. Its smaller, but is about 2/3 of the weight and has 120mm fans for intake and exhaust.

If you like the Kingwin, I think you will like the Lian-Li.

Doesn't have to be.

What do you think of the Sky Hawk 5605 (see it on mwave.com)? And if you go to directron.com click on cases > aluminum cases > black you will see some similar - perhaps the Directron (actually Super Flower) 301...

A little bit too much. I don't like front doors. I'm getting tired of mine on the Antec Lanboy!
The Lian-Li PC65 would do if only I can find it for the said price by the poster. Also, I've managed to find a case exactly like the Kingwin except its by Beantech. Its the Beantech Igloo 3 and there's also a side window that you can purchase separately. Zipzoomfly.com carries the Igloo 3, but not the side window. Anybody know where I can find the window? Or other recommendations for a case are still appreciated.

Read in a review that you can unscrew it and place the glass inside the case

will be back with a url.

this is for the silver one but I'm sure it applies for the black version as well.

or... you could buy the windowless version of the 424 and do your own window if you desire..

Just a thought.. Nice looking case, btw...

 

[Zepper]

Yeah, since the window can be easily moved inside if you want (per Algere), no reason not to go with the Kingwin. I don't see that combo of features anywhere else: removable mobo tray w/ amazing attn to detail (midline connectors on frt panel cables!), rubber isolators for HDs, toolless optical and floppy mounts. All that for under $100. - hard to beat. But I do sort of like the way the Super Flowers are black inside and out. But that's easy to accomplish w/ some spray paint and steel wool.
. Also look at the Directron TT-461 - quite a few neat features at low bucks and The Super Flower 401, actually they seem to have lots of black cases that fit the basic description - Directron.com > Cases > MidTower > Black. And perhaps the Ahanix Black Knight. I know it has a door, but it has a very unusual action that might be tolerable.

:Q Sexy! Thanks for that link.

Zepper: The two directron cases you mentioned are nice looking, too. Only problem is that I don't two front plastic. Any chance this can be removed?

 

[Zepper]

directron is selling the silver color version of the AOpen 600 aluminum case with PSU (usually a Fortron) for a freaky low price.

FWIW, pcmag.com just did one of their typically shallow reports on 5 cases. The Kingwin 424 was one of the Editor's Choices..bh.
