Heh, thing is, it is difficult to take a picture of any part of my room without some alcohol container finding its way on to the picture

This is the one I have:

I know someone with that case. That is a good case and yes, you can cram a ton of stuff in it!

It is a good looking case and mean business but if you opened it up you would find three mice on a treadmill running the motherboard. All I did was gut my Emachine and jam the stuff in there. You will probably remember the PM's to you concerning the thing just shutting down? I found out it was the power switch. So, I could have gotten a new switch for $3.00 or get this nice new case with new switch for $60.00. I know the math does not seem to be right but what the heck. I ended up with a new $60.00 switch. It solved my problems as well. The computer works great now!

Looks a little dusty in there! Anyway, here is mine!

Hey, whatever works! If you like it, it has more value than a $60 switch!

Now you guys are distracting me from working! I need to finish up a few things before the end of the day!

No other case pics???? No one can touch the Alc I put next to my system, but I'm sure someone can post a better case pic than mine! Mine is getting out of date!

An yes, that bottle is a 1995 Merlot from Alexander Valley's Stonestreet! It would probably be better described as a Claret being a good portion Cabernet! 14.2%. The funny thing - that Samael's from Avery sitting in the foreground is a 15.8% jobbie for an Ale! They change every year, but the current one is especially potent!

I was going to mention that I was more interested in the bottle of Merlot than any of the cases :hmm:. Glad you made that last post!

I currently use a Kingwin case. They seem kind of hard to find now-a-days. I picked mine because it was only 50 bucks and got the MaximumPC "KickAss" award. Easy to work in and two 120mm fans is a must have IMO. I wish it opened to the right though .

I just Built a new PC and I using a Cooler Master Centurion and I love the thing. Lots of room and two big fans. It wasn't cheap but I was actually gonna get an antec (with no fans) for considerably more. It was made of steel and was pretty nice but I was on a budget. In the end I'm glad I got the CMaster. The funny thing is that, with the all the vents and holes on the thing, I'm gonna have to get a dust cover for it. If the trend toward running PCs as cool as possible keeps up they'll probably start making them entirely out of chicken wire!

Ya know? I hear ya! That bottle of Merlot can stand up against any case there is and attract more attention! Only a hot woman would probably attract more more attention! :p
