Absolutely awesome, especially the way it also acts as the desk.

Me? Personally I don't like them. They're not *too* bad, but still, the front has a bit of a silly "IT'S A GREY ALIEN!!!!" feel to them (the point). Actually no, I've just looked up the link above and they're damn ugly.

(edit) some clever functionality in them, but no, I'll pass.

Coolermaster Centurian is quite nice [URL]http://uk.special.reserve.co.uk/q_GG8920_coolermaster_centu.html[/URL]

The Emermax is nice (even though it's cut away) [URL]http://uk.special.reserve.co.uk/q_GG2779_enermax_twilight_c.html[/URL]

As you can see, I prefer the minimalist look. :) :) :)

Whats your opinion on the alienware style cases most companies now use?

Hmm ... the only non-standard case I've liked is the one that looked remotely like Orac from Blake's 7.

Case modification is for nerds and frustrated teens.

I've just spend over a grand on parts for my pc.
Guess how much on the case and cosmetic extras?

Nill.

I'm still using an old ATX case from 3 years ago. No cut away sides, no silly neon lights, no embarrassing (there is no other word for it) "Minotaur" style case. The owner of that TIE fighter case is almost guaranteed to be a fat bearded kiddy chaser.

Hell, all the thing did was sit in the corner and offer me somewhere to dump my empty cans of lager and keep the ashtray off the floor. Still does in fact, bar the ashtray as I’ve given up smoking. Water cooling I can see if you’re a serious overclocker, but flashing neon LED’s and spangly flashing cables?

Give me a break………

Not totaly serious here BTW, do what you like, it doesn't affect me, but it only looks cool to other nerds and frustrated teens. To everyone else it looks silly

It's horrible.

Simply horrible.

shut up lolol

erm i like the idea of it being a desk, but star wars :S and I would be scared not to accidently knee the thing in the front window of the tie fighter (guessed so I'm probably wrong) like with my naff modded case where I put my foot through the window the day I got it.

I would :' }

I wouldn't have that in my room.
