"New pc..."

Right, i have just gotta job, and I am thinking of getting a new pc. Now, i can either save up for a whole one form say Maxx PC, build my own, or build one of these snazzy shuttle type ones. I particulaly like the hi-fi type MSI one, however, would it be a waste of money?

What would you do?

thats without the window though isn't it?
the same case but in black or blue is 91 inc vat (w/ window). amazing what a difference a colour can make.

I recently bought that case SR seem to be so proud of, the black one with the front strips. I am disapointed in it. And my parents will call me a money waster if i buy another case. But thats all part of the fun.

I am really looking for a case with a silvery type finish, and some nice neons or something.

And a good job he made of it too. Have you considered the Xaser III series? Or maybe the Cheiftec dragons?

I was hoping that you could buy that case, but thats the only one in the world. it was modded by some bloke from New York

The Xaser is £97.50 excluding VAT although i saw it cheaper (from the heads of tek, wink wink ;)), but im buying it all from the same place to save on postage.

I don't think it's worth the money

well, really all I want is a nice case, i want a case like this http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/ |space| 11.10/images/FT_makeover_3.jpg
