    I was all set to buy the Akasa Clear Acrylic ATX Case for overclockers.co.uk but they have now added the BeanTech BT-80 Acrylic Case for a few quid less. I'm not sure what I should look for in an Acrylic Case any pointers?

    Personally i like the look of the akasa one, it has better cooling potential built in (not that you couldn't just add a few more blow holes to the beanTech) and from my experience akasa make pretty high quality products.

    Of course if the price is important (which it definately is to me! :( ) then the beantech is a lot cheaper! however it does state that the BeanTech doesn't come with a psu, but they havnt said that for the akasa. Mebbe u shud fone up and ask if the akasa has a psu? of course if u dont need another psu then it doesnt matter.

    Personally, I think this case is absolutely gorgeous, but it is 660 Euros. :wallbash:

    Hi,

    I've just recieved a BT-82 case for review.

    Its pretty good, although the gluing isn't 100%.

    Heres some things to consider:

    The BT80 has 2 Cooling Fans, not the 3 which OCUK seem to think. That is the BT82 Model...

    The Akasa comes in a flat pack, you have to put it together, the beantech comes fully assembled

    if the C3 didn't have that blowhole it would be perfect

    standard stage mic for the majority of vocalists and considering the abuse i give it, just about anything else wouldn't hold up...anyway - it isn't a brag, just a statement ;)

    saving up for one of these

    i want an art deco toaster mic :(
