    Ok, I Think I have found a case sutable for my first big modding project; the Recon Steath Black. However, I can't seem to find any review of it and wondered if anyone has owned one or know of any reviews.

    whats the price difference between that and a lian li as you won't be able to beat the quality of a lian-li or CM :)

    Surely this is the same case that KustomPC's sells under the unfortunate name of "SunFlower" :hehe:

    Nice enough looking but a bit busy for me at the front IYKWIM.

    Personnaly, I like the Lian Li PC86, it's black with a hint of silver.

    Cheers, CC

    yeah its the same case just pre-modded

    if u dont want to customise your case to how u want it, and just really wnat some1 else to make it look different then thats fine

    but theres nothing to beat modding it yourself to exactly how u want it :rock:

    Actually I think it's Super Flower (as in airflow, not flower as I also originally thought)

    I've seen it marketed as Suntek and SamCheer too.

    Saw them at a trade show last year, really liked 'em but I was only offered them with a 520Watt PSU option
    (I asked the rep to spec one for a budget hi-performance duron system - he said "Yup, 520Watt will be fine :rolleyes: )

    Found 'em since, at a better price with no PSU, so I'm hoping to start building systems in them soon. :)
    I like them a lot, especially the black one - it has a blue LED as standard, 5 or 6 fans and is anodised black, inside and out.

    From my brief encounter with it, I would say it's not far off Lian-Li quality, if not a little better.

    [Edit] Rusty memory - it was this year, here's a thread I posted over on Ars forum about it
    and here's a review :)

    Thanks for your post thus, far I willl have a look at the the Lian Li, but i don't really like the silver bit, I think I'd like a case that was more or less all black.
