Hey guys,

 

I've seen some stuff like the Danger Den Acrylic Cases and the FrozenQ X1, I'm just wondering what people think of them. In terms of cooling capabilities (Liquid or Air), cable management etc.

 

Are there any others on the market worth considering?

I find that this one: http://www.parvumsystems.com/product/s2-0-black-blue looks absolutely amazing, Though I probably wouldn't get one, I'd stick with an air 540 or air 240.

Build you own?

 

I lack tools. Buying tools gets very expensive, very quickly

 

Edit: I lack tools and skills to use tools

I find that this one: http://www.parvumsystems.com/product/s2-0-black-blue looks absolutely amazing, and would probably go with it for a lan build.

 

Unfortunately, that one is a little too small

I think they are horrible and look cheap and tacky, especially for what they cost, just my honest opinion

Fair enough. I've seen them online and I've been curious. Actually I've been curious since I saw HuskySCs, which use a customized Danger Den case

 

 

Finished thing is about 12 minutes in

I just think... acrylic looks and feels so cheap it looks like somebody glued together some off cuts of plastic from the bin and made a case out of them

 

they are not cheap either, I would rather buy a nice full aluminium sexy case

Aluminum plus glass, in win 904. Mmm.

But terrible air flow

I'd rather an S-Frame, but even then... I think those cases are best left to showing off stuff at trade shows
