    I'm getting really sick of my current Enermax case.

    I'd like to ask for a new case for Christmas.

    I'm thinking of getting a Lian-Li PC-60. A full tower would be nice, but I don't necessarily need one and I'd rather have that dough spent on other gifts for me :lol: .
    On eBay this PC-60 is selling for $91. It seems like they're selling them new and not used since they have 18.


    Anyone think of another case I might consider (w/out spending too much money)?

    Well, its not just them putting that in the description. All the other auctions on this case also have that (and yes, they are different sellers :rolleyes: )

    Get this case. I love almost every single thing about it: 120mm fans (why do case manufacturers insist on not only giving us just 80mm fans, but not enough room to mod the space for 120s?), drive rails, grommets for the 3.5" drives, toolless entry, plenty of room. Perhaps the biggest sticking point, along with the price, is the fact that this case is the exact same one as this Antec, only with no PSU, beige (a blank canvas in my opinion) and a different front fascia.

    Or the ones with deep pockets. :p

    I must admit, I prefer Antec/Cheiftec, I'd have panic fits slicing into the side of a £130 case. :(

    Yeah, that's something I was worried about.

    I like the look of Cheiftec's cases (even though everyone says it's overused). I think its probably the most "modable" case out there.
    I'm considering going for a Chieftec full tower, because they're so cheap :clap:

    Any case could be considered the 'most modable' in some sense. It just the chieftecs are the 'most modded'

    What I meant was, it gives me the most ideas (with the door and whatnot) for mods.

    Might I suggest you shorten your sig? It is painfuly long even on 1280x1024, who knows the pain of a user on a lower res may be going through :D

    I like the antec and coolermaster cases myself :thumb: The Coolermaster (and LianLi) cases look great right out of the box imo, and with very little modding can be truned into a fairly nice computer. The Antecs can take a little more work, but can look prety nice themselves ;)

    Me thinks Lian Li´s are for "showing up"
    I think it is like having a preemodded case, only for show.

    .. Me runs away from the bottles raining down on me.... :D

    Everyone knows that, infact i'm suprised at the high number of "high street" cases on here as opposed to the likes of CM cases, as there not all over priced. :)
