First I'm bragging, I got myself one of these:



Chieftec Matrix full tower :D (the pic's a mid tower and it's red, mine's silver and full) A possible total 7 case fans, 3 front (80 x 80 x 25 mm), 3 back (80 x 80 x 90) and 1 side.


Anyway, the main point: I'm curious, what kinda cases do you all have? Post a pic too!

in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,

Dig it.



7.5"x7"x11.5. Whole thing is solid metal, acts as a heatsink in conjunction with a multifan heat-pipe system to dissipate the temperatures it builds up... and they do build up, since the thing ships with a setup for basically the fastest tech you can get nowadays (ignore the Athlon thing, this is just a similar one I found a picture of) and packs it together practically solid.

Basically, get a flatscreen and it's a laptop. One you can render in realtime in...:D

My case is like FreeTerran's only black instead of blue. Also no side fan.

Hmm, FT's a newer model. :blah:

Check the link in my sig, you can see mine.

Be careful, I might go on a very anti-fancy-case rant.

wow, the chifetec/chenming/antec cases are more popular than I thought. (and full towers, they've got second place!)

*puts on rant proof suti just in case* :p

[color=66ff00]The only problem I see with a full tower Chieftec Dragon is the weight of the flippin' thing, my mid tower is a hefty bugger. You'd probably need a forklift or champion weightlifter to haul a full tower around. :lol:

They're damn well designed though. I wasn't too impressed by the antec design, it didn't really do anything for me, asthetically speaking. I guess I'm tired of black/grey/beige coloured boxes on the whole.

Mine is more or less an open frame of some crappy no-name company... I have yet to find another like it, so I doubt searching for a pic will help.

more pics

Top bay is a DVD-ROM, second from top is a very nice CD-RW (I think 52x24x52), third from top empty, bottom has Coolermaster Alum HDD Cooler. With a second HDD under (or over?) the Floppy bay. I'm thinking of putting some case fans and a window on it too. :D
I have big plans, now if only I could see them through.

I have a Foxconn mid-tower and an ancient Gateway desktop. Wish I'd gone for the Antec case though....

This here is what I have:

AOpen HQ08 Full Tower (although I think I would have preferred the HX08 as that has a civilised front panel which would have allowed me to push it further under the desk)

Bought because I wanted a case with reasonable internal airflow and cooling capacity without spending outrageous amounts of money on crap like Lian-Li.
