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

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.

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

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.
