Does the front LED'S make it look any better?

Just out of curiosity tai, how old are you?

As for the case, ::shrugs:: it looks alright, the LEDs might look cool there. The next case I'm going to get is this one. However, since this is going to be your case you should be the one to make the decision. :wink:

It's a small improvement to a great case IMO. However, I still prefer a good Lian Li.

Not to mention that the PS sucks pond water. The individual rail ratings may look great, but I noticed that the label had no rating for the combined +3.3v and +5.0v rails, otherwise known as the single most important number for a power supply.
What we have today is way too much pluribus and not enough unum.

I consider the PSU in most cases a throw-away item. If it isn't Antec or Enermax, it's getting tossed. :wink:

I would avoid this case as it looks cool, but it does not look that well made and lights will not change that. I hate cheap cases after cutting myself multiple times on a friends case. I would tell you to go with a better case, like the Lian-Li that eckslax mentioned. It is a high quality case, but is not as flashy as the one you picked.

i just recently got a lian li off of newegg (pc-60) and i love it. It was worth all $123.00(shipping included) and I love the removable motherboard tray. Since buying it I found it on monarch computers site for $103.00 but I dont know the shipping costs. Newegg was 113+10 for shipping

I can't speak for this one, but I own the previous one to it, the X-Dreamer, and it's actually a really nice case.
Although, it took me a good couple hours and a dremel to get it to breath properly :/

As for the LEDs - I have to shut my computer off at night because all the damned lights keep me awake.
I want less lights, not more.


Lookng at those pics, it seems to me they've made some nice design improvements, like longer cables for the front audio connectors.
So how fast is your car, anyway?

Oh, about 1200mhz.
