Chieftec Dragons are cool but everyone has them, my friend just got his from CompUSA and I had a little poll to see who's looked better, his Dragon or my AT server tower that I cut a window in. I won by a landslide

Anyway......Dragons are nice if you're going for a pre-mod, I have heard wonderful things about them. I'm not big on pre-mods but I must say it's a sharp lookin' case

i think if you wanted to save some money you could forget about getting a "dual channel" kit. most often people don't get a significant boost in performance. instead you could go with either higher clocked ram or go for a higher clocked proc. or even better you could use it to buy a case you like. i would suggest going to a store and checkin out some of the cases on display. just to get a feel for them and check them out. don't forget to check the edges of the case. if you work on your comp alot a few scratches adds up to an arm full of scars

If i remember correctly you can get a full tower Dragon but I don't think it has a window in it.

easy enough.....MOD ONE!

lpapirny · 28-March-04, 12:14 AM

lpapirny · 28-March-04, 12:16 AM

Typing from you with a premod, if you're going to do it that way then order something that you know can be reliable. Don't buy any old case from anywhere that looks pretty. Buy something that's been reviewed often. A sh**** case can lead to a sh**** computer. Speaking from some bad experiences here.

It's always cooler though if you do it yourself. Don't buy a premod unless you're absolutely sure you don't want to mod yourself, because you'll regret it. Once again, from experience

I really like those two and am considering buying the bigger one not only for the looks but the quiet 120 fans.

I've used the LANboy before in a build, damn solid case and one of the nicer ones I've had the privalege of working on.

A friend of mine is posting an order soon, using a Super LANboy, I'll tell you how that goes.
