Looking for a new pc case

    I don't know were I got the idea from, but latly I have searched the internets for a new case for my PC. I've especially searched for a glossy black one (think NDS lite or Ipod nano) I havent really found any good one so I thought i could try my luck here

    I want a medium black glossy case (clossy all around, exept under it ) with some cool design maybe a glowing power button like xbox 360 (but thats something you can fix yourself i think)

    Anyways, any of you have some tips? post it here and I will love you long time

    Take a look at the range on Overclocker's website - its nice and easy to browse so you can find one you're interested in, and their range is pretty good.

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Cases.html

    I'm planning on picking up a Thermaltake Armor case at some point - fairly utilitarian looking but in a good way Tips for choosing? Just read plenty of reviews I guess. There are loads of hardward modding sites that focus on cases so if you spot one you are interested in, just get on google and search for it and add +review -compare.

    I dont have it atm, but i will have it in 3-4 days or something (or my father lied me again...). It looks nice, goatse a 60mm case cooler and a big 6cm (or something like that) case cooler who is very useful and quiet.

    120mm? Pfft, how about 250mm? Sometimes case manufacturers don't know when to stop

    Ya Bic, thats the one I've been checking out too. Im not very good at the fan things tho, right now my PC sounds like a airplane when I play PREY or other heavy gfx game, I want it to be cool and quiet so I can work/play in peace, I even thought of getting a wireless keyboard so I can have the comp someplace else in the room :/

    i cant speak for that case, but the one i have has a case fan and i never hear it, it's quiet and i have a huge desk to mask it, you can always buy a controller if its a real problem

    I really, really like my Sonata: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811129155

    (mine is the older 380w model but it looks identical)

    It's not all glossy but working inside of it is so nice.. (the hard drives mount sideways, on rails

    Solid as a rock and quiet as a kitten. Has all the juice you should need, too.
