Simple-Square like cases

[dBTelos]

I decided to change the topic of this thread because I don't want to make a new thread.

What are some cases that you can get fairly cheap, like under $75, that have that LianLi look? Like, squareish-simple.

Newegg

Be sure to look at the package deals that can be had from http://www.performance-pcs.com/

Some come with optical and/or floppy covers.

Thanks for the replies guys. Can't really get anything special from the Hot Deals forum, LianLi seems to be religious against rebates 😉

Geez, can't find anything under $80 :Q

 

[GalvanizedYankee]

Well, if you find a used case that has been modded or damaged...Performance-pcs does sell panels 😉

Yeah but also get what you pay for.

They had a Weekend sale for a PC-7B plus or something for 79.99 on Newegg this weekend.

:Q

Maybe I'll place a bid. I need the black color because both my floppy and optical drives are black 🙁

 

[pkme2]

I got my PC-7 on eBay for $54 shipped too.

 

[dBTelos]

They don't have to many of them on eBay, pkme. That is the only one I'm interested in, and it's $35 to ship :Q Maybe I'll pass...

PC-60
I have 2.

Some Coolermaster Centurions, some Enermax Chakras, Thermaltake Matrix, Chenbro SR10569 server case.

check out eagletech / skyhawk stuff, some of it has the same look, or at least they used to.

 

[dBTelos]

The Thermaltake Matrix looks nice. And Directron has it for $45 + $10 shipping 🙂 Is the 120mm fan it comes with any good? I mean quiet.

I don't see any cases on there 🙁

 

[Zepper]

CM case fans are generally low and slow. I'd probably replace them with Yate Loons - SVC has them for $3. if you buy at least 2.

[dBTelos]

Why would a Thermaltake case come with Coolermaster fans?

 

[Zepper]

Sorry, old-timer's syndrome... Tt fans are usually notably louder than spec would lead you to believe. I'd also replace them with Y-Ls - replace the CMs because they don't push enough air, the Tts because they are noisy. Depending on your ears and cooling needs, they might be fine for you. But when you can get Y-Ls for $3.00...

Wrong site.

www.skyhawkusa.com is the proper site, though strangely all links off it goes through archive.org...

The best bet is their MSR-4600 series cases, which can be mistaken for Lian Li in looks. These have been sold for as cheap as $25 at Dealsonic though they have been OOS for almost the past year, and are $60 now.

That is the only black one that looks good, although it looks quite cheap. What size fan slots does it have?

 

[Zepper]

No only the MSR series are worth looking at. Here's the link but as was noted above, they have been OOS for a long time and there is no prospect of their ever being otherwise. Here is a link though:
http://www.dealsonic.com/skmssi1alatx.html. But you want black, so that wouldn't do you any good anyways.

The Silverstone Temjin 4 (SST-TJ04) looks very good but it has a window but it's a bit over your price - $91. at the Egg or $89. at Directron.
