youre about... 5 years too late. Theyre hard to find and when they do its at stupid pricing. As with almost all old In Win and Lian Li cases.

 

Also, is Australia fine to shop in New Zealand? I know both economies are insanely well interconnected so id love to know how feasible that is.

I dot understand could you be more specific?

Sorry. I just mean is it possible or economically good for new zealanders to get goods from Australia and then ship it to New Zealand? Australia has a lot of great computer store and i know that under the current immigration law set new zealanders can go to Australia pretty freely with few exceptions.

So no gaming right just music production?

 

Since I know new zealand prices are basically 4x those of the us I'll have to have a look on nz pc sites. Got a couple links?

 

Also you can no longer find these cases as they had terrible airflow and caused cooling issues which led to them not being bought much so they stopped existing

Looking at case options here in indo theres only the magnium gear neo qube 2 (random o11d copy) at 160$ so thanks for the buisness idea

 

besides even with the front blocked off you can still take air in from the side, top, and bottom, problably what that overpriced magnium gear case is doing (since its an o11d copy)

 

 

as for op go look up on yt on how to make an infinity mirror on any case, just make sure you got a case that has good airflow from the top, side, or bottom so its not a hotbox

For an infinity case I'm using an older version of the GameMax Abyss currently. Don't know what availability is like worldwide.

 

Edit: In UK it is not expensive but apart from the lighting it is an unremarkable case. Kinda average for the price point.

Given NZ prices bling has to be sacrificed for performance.
