cybeguys.com has a clear plastic case to show off the blueness. Newegg or googlegear is selling a blue power supply.

I just bought a Cheiftec, think Alienware, case a few months ago. It was $65 at Newegg with PS but no fans. I'm putting in a window right now. Zantac4 is the window. I added a fanbus, nice 3 Fan,470W PS.

I like the cheiftec, I got mine in black.

It's a nice looking case but it's a little small for my taste. I like the front USB as well. Is that the size you want or are you limited to that size for space reasons? A nice mid tower would be a lot more roomy to get around in..

for now i think im gonna stick with the stock HSF because its gonna be cheaper than getting a new one for it... but i think its a good price for all the sh!t im gonna be doing to it...

but it still is gonna be a sweet rig
