DESPERATE case question

daklown · 24-March-05, 12:08 AM

Im in the process of parts hunting and looking at computer stuff, and im looking for a specific type of case. I want a roomy, black, clean case with a window (plain on the outside but sex on the inside, more or less) Ive owned cheap cases before and i hate them...STILL searching around newegg with no luck, I was thumbing through the new issue of Maximum PC and found this picture in a Zalman advertisement:

Does anyone know what case this is, or of one similar to it ? I LOVE the window placement and how it doesnt have lame rivets, and id rather not pay to have a custom one done, or do it myself. I want to just get it all over with more or less.

Thats your standard lian-li case, that long with the Antec, silverstone and coolermaster cases are the best out there for looks and funtion IMO.

Well that feature you won't find in a production Lian Li - it was only for that advertisement/review so you'd get a clear view of how the Zalman passive cooler's lines went in and out of the case. Don't think they used plexi even, just removed the back section.

i dont care about the clear backing really, as much as i thought it would help identify it, but that side window is exactly what im looking for. I guess ill just have to cut one myself.

thanks for the help

Yep, cut out your own window. Own the case, don't let it own you.

IMHO it's: Lian-Li - but expensive, Thermaltake: Armour or Kandalf - Love em HAte em, Coolermaster: Stacker - looks only OK and windowed side panel is an extra. Personally I'ld get a sexy lian-li!
