Well im getting a new system, and i was looking around for a nice, inexpensive case that i could later use to mod.

Its cheap, only about $56.00, has a sleek design and a nice BIG side case window. It dosnt have any stupid swirl designs on the window that would obstructs your view or screw your chances of ever wanting to put any fans and grids in the window. Its really nice, and i just thought id ask what you guys thought.

Seems alright, but I'm getting http://www.3btech.net/pomidto02caw.html myself, dunno how it is, but should get it by the end of the month, along with the MB + cpu

it's a nice case but due to it's generic construction and vastly cheap price.. tooo many people have it. :/ Kind of like the Antec cases when those got real popular.

true, it has a generic construction, but i like the simplisity of the front, and the large square side window, those were big pluses for me. Many people may have the case too, and it might look the same.. But not when im through with it

Am I the only person on the planet that doesn't like case windows?
Sure, lights and cathodes are kinda cool but I'd prefer for everyone not to see the guts of my machines.
See, if I had the time I'd make myself a big wooden PC case with sliding drive door cover (think, those old IBM aptiva towers) all varnished and looking spiffy

I used to like them.. till I saw about 500000000 of them at a lan party. Reason being i haven't hacked away at my antec yet. Wood cases are nice. I've been building one for my second tv box. I wanna make another one for a fullsize computer.
