What is the next case format you plan to use to build a new system?

(Poll Coming)

I have been thinking of getting another case from these guys here http://mountainmods.com/product_info...products_id=93

I really like these cases and would like to get this one since i already have 2 of the UFO 2 case and would like to get a different color maybe a dark Metalic Blue.

What I'd love is a nice big desktop. I tipped over my medium-tower to mount the heatsink on my proc, and I noticed it would make a *great* desktop if the drive cases were reoriented 90 degrees.

I theorise desktop cases, designed comparably to modern towers (120mm fans!), could eliminate the heat buildup beneath a video card more effectively than towers, which nowadays need those stupid side-window fans which look like ****.

I am going to build my next system in a custom case with an inverted ATX form factor. The chassis I am going to use will be a chopped server tower case because it has the right width.

Ill be building a cheap demo rig into an Aspire Q-pack box later this summer, but for my next main build (to replace my 939 Opty SLi system) will be in the biggest server case I can lay my hands on.

Bigger is better. More cooling options, more storage, more more more!!!

All i can say is Mountainmods has some awesome cases

yes there expensive but well worth the money you will not regret getting one when you can afford it.

UndisputedChamp · 13-June-06, 04:05 PM

I love those UFO cases, but what I have my eyes on is the SilverStone TJ-07 case.

reflux · 13-June-06, 04:26 PM

If i sell the laptop, I'll be getting a SFF system. Love the portability of a decent laptop, but I don't like not being able to fiddle with it as much as a desktop.

GlitterKill · 13-June-06, 04:37 PM

DOH! Adding an option for a Dektop PC.

Plus you'll easily be able to come over for LAN nights with a SFF case

Make sure you get yourself a decent wireless card for next year, we'll have a nice fast 54Mbps network setup by the time you get back.

Laptops still rock arse though. Suprised you're only looking at 54mb though, that's pretty slow.

HemiCuda1970 · 13-June-06, 07:17 PM

A Thermaltake Tsunami will be the next case and system I build...Just love da way it look's.

Since its going to be splitting a 10Mb internet connection around 7/8 machines, its plenty fast

Sorry for the

s1ugh34d · 13-June-06, 08:36 PM

Definately custom made, its small, i already have started on it, but the saving up for the internals hasnt started, Its small for LAN partys and just big enought to throw ever fan i can fit in it, maybe even a noctua

Either custom, or the monster case, its perfect and i can't wait to see one in action

If it aint big make it but custom is the best way to go

MasterP · 13-June-06, 08:53 PM

I'm for either custom made or a HEAVILY modified cube style case

The cube form factor really appeals to me - full tower space/functionality and you can keep it on your desk (eases the dust problem) while still being able to see over it
