honestly, that's not really that great of a PC. but if you want one, the best way is by far to build it yourself.

I'd given some serious thought to one of those. I had read they aren't balanced and are subject to tipping when it is pulled out to be worked on. The most recent version they have (not sure if released yet or not) apparently has the glass top come off instead of a drawer pulling out to fix that problem.

thanks for the response, the tipping issue scared me so...Maybe a cube instead really trying to make a much smaller footprint and keep gaming. any advice? The 932 is a 1st generation and I am itching to rebuild.

well, i used to be into unusual cases ... milliondollarpc really got me going. http://www.million-dollar-pc.com/

but after completing a build in a modern, standard midtower case (a Define R4), i wouldn't want it any other way.

my main is a HAF XB (the cubic one), and it's not easy to access; i need to replace a SATA cable inside, i would have to uninstall half the components. (i just threw out my DVD instead)

and while it looks nice the first 5 times you look at it, now it just looks like something that holds my hardware.

i'd rather have something that is build-and-maintenance friendly, nowadays.
the coolermaster ammo 533 i had previously was a piece of junk: sharp corners, the chassis bent, it was heavy, fans were impossible to maintain..

but if you get your hands on a R4 or R5 you'll see what absolute masterpiece they are. at first they look just like any case, then you see the build quality, the perfection of every small piece of metal.

protip - windowless models make even less noise.
