Which case should i buy?

PimpingBox · June 7th, 2006

i'm going to buy a whole new comp soon...about 4000 CAN i just can't decidee on the case ii'm thinking about the LIAN-LI PC-V1100 Aluminum ATX 19IN....or the Antec p180...i'm looking for silence if i could i would want an lian li case with a side window...i guess i could always mod it but its too hard :oops:

P180 is nice, but has its drawbacks too (hard to wire). I'll be writing up the new Black P180 next week.
I'm not a big fan of Lian Li, all of their cases that I've used really underwhelmed me

Because the 7950 GX2 is just an over-hyped, over-priced piece of crazy technology and not worth the $200 over a 7900GTX.

omg not 7950's too crazy...bet it would be a few hundred more expansive ...and well i learned my lesson for buying pre-released cards...it would be more cards coming out... lol 8000's series..you'll never know

But getting back on topic, I think the PC-V1100 is a very nice case, however, I personally like the PC-V1000 better than the V1100 and the P180. The Silverstone Temjin TJ-05 is also worth a look, as well as any of the Cooler Master Stacker series cases.
