I need this case for a build I'm doing for a friend,

I need you guys to find the flashiest craziest looking case on the market for $70 or under.

It doesn't need good cable management or anything it just needs to look cool, for example he thought the Alienware aurora looked pretty cool.

Please Help !

'scuse me, but I think my CM 690 II Advanced looks pretty mature. :P

 

It's all a matter of personal preference though.

 

OT: something from Bitfenix or one of Corsair's lower end may be suitable.

I'm guessing you are trying to convert him from the *whispers*console side. Go onto pcpartpicker.com and in the case section look for obscure brand names and cheap prices. 

i9 25.6 GHz with NeuronThreading, 256gb 6000 MHz RAM, GTX 990 OC 3024MHz 12gb, Skeletal X99 motherboard, 1 Petabyte SSD, Fractal Design Humaniod R1 Case, Herbivore 10,000W PSU, Noctua NF16 LP Derma Cooler.

Probably the only Star Citizen player who is planning on a career in Journalism instead of piracy, mining, trading, exploration, military, station management, etc.

Just wondering is he paying you for this build? If not then put it in a cardboard box, it'll remind him of his console days.

He challenged me to build a pc that beat the alienware laptop he wanted for half the price the laptop cost around 1500, and I put his build in a fractal design r4......he said it was way too flat and boring....

If he wants a gaming laptop then you might show him the razer blade or one from MSI. Both beat alienware

not bad...we may have a keeper

I had one. Remember, the front panel is disconnected out of the box to prevent cable damage. Remove the front panel and connect all of the small connectors together.

yeah, he thought some msi ones were cool I didnt show him razer yet probably will soon, his favorite feature of the alienware laptop is that it you can change the led colors. I kinda want to get him a desktop too though just so he can see the difference in graphics quality...and i like building desktops
