    Basically, i want a new case. Not need, WANT. I WANT a nice one which i can mod and have come down to the following three:
    Lian-Li PC68
    Yeong Yang cube
    Coolermaster ACTS-201

    I've looked at them all but i don't know which one i want.

    Anyone have any suggestions and helpful info?

    Any reason why you'd go for the case you said? I'd like to know coz you're 'da man' and £170+ is quite a bit of money to spend on a case!

    Probably because it looks better than the ATC-201.

    Alternatively you could go for an AOpen HX08 (is that its name?) and get similar amounts of drive bays for 1/2 the price. Paint it black and it wouldn't look too bad.

    the 201 has 4 external 5.25's and the 200 has 3. AFAIK apart from that they're the same (though the bottom front bezel looks different in the pic I saw)

    JStormont, do you have linkage to a pic of the AOpen one?

    Thanks for your help but i decied on getting the yeong yang. Main reasons for the choice:

    black colour
    6 x 5.25 bays
    potential for lots of moding
    cheapest option
    IT'S A CUBE FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!

    If you wanted drive bays, you should have got one of those larger Enermax server cases. This one is nice, :)

    By the looks of it from Virtual Hideout this is a popular case with modders, :) Loads of drive bays as well!

    You can pick up a cube from The Overclocking Store for £170. What i don't get is the black and beige cubes are the same price (or were the last time i looked!) but the beige only comes with a 250W PSU unlike the 300W with the black.

    that does actually look good, JS (the AOpen)
    if i can't find anything i think is more suitable, i might get that one.

    NOOOOO !!!!!, koolvin must be on drugs or drunk, he doesnt really know what hes sayin, The Borg is the only case to buy in its price range (Coolermaster 200/201 are very nice ) the Borg 0wns j00 all, never diss the borg or your life is in danger, koolvin has just over stepped the mark, he should expect a knock at the door very soon.

    *** REMEMBER: The Borg 0wns j00 ***
