How about some links Tyc ? I'm too lazy to google

Mmmmm....tough choice, but I'm gonna have to say the Emermax. Better cooling and just begging to be modded.

My only concern would be the power supply. Find out what you're getting...you don't want to be stuck with a shi tty PSU. The cooling can always be modded for the Lanboy as well, so if you get a shoddy PSU with it, go for the Lanboy.

The lan boy is the newer design of the 2.
But the enermax is an antec clone and has alot of potential for moding.

But my choice would be the lan boy

I'm not really fond of doored bezels myself, but I'd have to agree with Lokie, and lean towards the the Lanboy.

Sharp looking site btw Lok.

[Edit] to extend that site comment to Twizted as well.

I got my LANBOY for 100 dollars and that included shipping from Bestbuy.com

Well i smacked my computer case today and put a big dent in it, it wouldnt play my games right so it had it coming 'dont feel sorry for the helpless computer' so ima go get a ... *drum role* Lanboy!

Mainly for the nice psu and the fact im not going for modding as much on this case, keeping it clean....

I have a lan boy. Its a little small (duh) and only has two 80mm fan holes.

Not a bad case.

Oh no. what ever will we do? only 2 fan holes, and no way to add more...

just playing with ya hawk eye.
i like that lan boy except for the premodded window (this coming from a guy with a premodded cheiftec...funny stuff), anyway. the gear-grip that i have, barely fits my cheiftec, and would defianlty look cooler on a smaller rig.

someone sayed that they couldnt hide their cables inside the lanboy, but im sure it can be done.

keep us updated on pix of your project

HawkEye_Pierce · 01-October-03, 07:54 AM

Take a look at my image gallery. If hiding cables is your bag, then getting a case with a removable side pannel is great. I hid most my wires behind the 5inch bays. Even the ATX cable goes over and into it.

See my images in my gallery.
