I use a Cooler Master ATC-201 Windowless case, real sturdy, thick aluminum, outfitted with high-output Panaflo fans, and a modified Volcano 11 heatsink with a Vantec Tornado fan on a custom-made rheostat/resistor fan control.  All I can say is, it's cool, without the noise.

I have a Foxconn. It's ****. But it works. I wish I had that Lian Li I posted earlier though....

Lian-Li's are the best from what I hear.

mostly just because they're aluminum, which was big when they came out with aluminum cases, and no one else made them.  it's supposedly like one big heat sink, so your case temperature stays low... of course those 8 or so fans it has help too ;) but yeah, i've only heard good things about them, except for the price.

My computer case is probably bigger than anyone's here... it's actually too big, it sucks taking it to LANs and stuff, because it's hard for one person to carry.

I had the same problem with my old case - granted I had help moving all my stuff from the car to the hall we had our LAN in... but it was still the tallest case there. Also one of the hottest...

yeah, well mine's not "modded" in any way.  i don't want it to be.  my computer's there to perform, not to look pretty.  i don't want a case with windows and lights and god knows what else.  besides, my computer sits under my desk, and i don't see anything but the front except for when i take it places.

i'm thinking about building a computer, and somehow RAIDing the two hard drives (the big computer i have and the new computer) through the network or something, backed up every night, so that when i want to go to a LAN, i take the little computer case, which has all the stuff my big, work computer has.  i dunno, it was just an idea ;)

I wish I could afford one of those fancy cases. My desktop at home has a cheap (but decent) Supercase.

Lian-Li's are valued for more than just their aluminium construction. Everything about them screams quality and attention to little details, that make up a darned sweet whole.

OOOH!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally someone I can speak to first-hand!

You see, I have a VERY dusty room, so I've had many a CPU fan get clogged up and die on me. Luckily, my P3-600 seems to be able to operate perfectly without a working fan, just the heatsink, so that's fine with me. But because my new comp will be an Athlon XP 3000+, I couldn't afford the CPU fan getting clogged up. So a dust filter was actually the main requirement I had for my new case. I decided on the PC-60 after reading a bunch of reviews and such.

So tell me, the dust filter looks from photos to be a foam-like materiel, not an actual paper-weave filter, correct?

foam-like.. and easy to clean..
i live in a dusty room myself, and i clean it each couple of months or so.. it's completely waterproof, so i just run it under a strong tap, shake it dry, and stick it back on..

Hmm, could that be modded onto another case do you think? I've got a mesh-grill that seems wide enough to let a lot of particles through.

might be, it's clip-on to the front of the case, there's two largish fans behind that, by the by, right infront of the hard-drive bay. (which can hold five HDD's IIRC)

hmmmm no i'd say it's because they're made of aluminum.
at least that was why they were so popular when i bought my first Lian-Li (and last).  of course they look pretty 1337, but so do a lot of other cases ; )

Fine, that may very well be, but they certainly didn't rest on their laurels.
