All I need to do is hunt around for a better AGP card for gaming.
I thought that was it, but now I got the itch to take it all out and swap the parts to a jazzier case.
Yes, I love moddin' PCs, but I hate some of the cases out there for ones you buy pre-built.

Member mytruck helped me to install a clear window in my PC a few years back, and it turned out good.



I am looking at either a nice clear case, or a Lian Li black one with side window.

Of the two cases, what do you like?
Please do not suggest another brand of case, I have looked at tons, and have narrowed it down to these two.

The clear one, CT-1110 Basic Clear Ice Acrylic Case, made by The Clear Computer Case company

And filled with the guts



The black windowed one, Lian Li PC-7B Plus Black Aluminum with or without Window, made by Lian Li

Both are very reputable companies, but I know more about Lian Li who makes premium aluminum cases.

 

I'd get the windowed one - mainly for upkeep. That all clear one will get filthy inside (places that you can't get with an air bottle without dismantling) IMO.

 

Another vote for the Lian Li PC-7B Plus Black Aluminum

 

Brushed alu looks good until it get scratched. I guess you can give griots a workout on that every so ofthen though

I have on of those, only the blue is silver and I don't have a window. I didn't know they came with a window

 

That's a cool box...

 

If you like that Lian-Li case, please consider looking into the Coolermaster Praetorian, it's a great case and you can get different colored windows for it. Also, if you wanna get the Acrylic case, please make sure it won't yellow fade on you within the next 5 years at least

 

Lian Li, they make awesome cases.
