[Prometheus]

ok well i wanan get a new case

whats a good semi cheap one under 200 that keeps kooling and looks kool

[BobyJo]

We use and recommend the Chieftec (Alienware style)cases.
They are super for airculation and great looks.
These cases come with full side windows to no windows.
The prices run from about $100.00 up to $200.00 for the Xasier2 cases.

[Gixxer420]

Lian Li all the way

[Gixxer420]

good case great price and 100 percent aluminum and not japan steel like most other cases are chieftec, one above, ect ect..


http://www.coolerguys.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=001&Product_Code=840556007005&Category_Code=CS-Lian

[eviltechie]

first of all
the xpider case is bigger than PC65

secondly
it is made by chenming, not chieftec
designs are similar


thirdly, it is ALUMINUM!
not STEEL!

and comes with 3 fans and 420 PSU
its the best buy for a good looking case with performance

[Gixxer420]

no kid its not all aluminum sorry

[eviltechie]

who said ALL aluminum?

the chasis is all aluminum
and thats all you need
it has a front cover
which has to be made out of plastic
PC65 doesnt even have one
so why bother comparing?

kid!

[Gixxer420]

why pay 150 bucks for a aluminum chassis with japan steel sides
and plastic front?


Yeah I know some do but ect ect.

The lian li is all ALUMINUM 100 percent even the front

[eviltechie]

japan steel sides

have you ever seen one in real life and lifted it?
its light enough for one not to care

[Gixxer420]

dude i got a blue chieftec just like it and its smaller than my BIG case and weighs ALOT ALOT more

[BobyJo]

Gixxer:::I have two ALL Aluminum cases of this type, one the Chieftech Tower ALL ALUMINUM case and it comes with 5 fan holders and a 420watt Power supply. At present this is the case the wife is using.
My case is the Xaser II A6000A ALL ALuminum Tower case, made for Thermaltake, comes with 5 80mm Tt case fans, a top mounted digidoc, and it weighs a lot less than the steel cases. Both these cases are light enough that if you attempt to open the front door, the case will slide on the floor, I have to actually push down on the case to keep it from moving. And yes these cases are smaller than some full tower cases, the Lian-Li case I have seen is not all that large.
Lian-Li where do you think they are made? They are made in China or one of the satellite's of the Chinese impire.
No one comes here knocking your stuff. So what gives you the idea you can come here and knock our stuff.
Your case is nothing but a square box. Sure you can get a window in the side. The rest is still a box.
Our cases are a piece of art. Graceful and actually looks nice.
Yours is just a box.
You can get a box about anywhere.
They are square.

Japan steel just like the x spyder


the 6000 says all aluminum but not the front SO therefore its not all aluminum

and the chieftec isn't all aluminum i have the blue one

[CiKoTiC]

Gots to agree with the Gixxter, the Chieftecs have plastic fronts on them.

The Lian Li's may be square, but man they are the shiznit. Light as a feather and lots of room to work on them. :)

[Gixxer420]

I guess you can't read either. You are also sorta ignorant if you think I can't tell the difference between Aluminum and Steel.
I stated the Thermaltake case that I have is a A6000A Xaser II ALL Aluminum case.
I paid $127.00 for it and the power supply a PP430 came to install in it and still cost less than the Lian-Li with a respectful Power supply. The blue Chieftec I have is also ALL
ALuminum "ALL" & weighs about 18lbs shipping weight. The box and stuff is about half the weight of the total. It comes with a 420 watt power supply.
I would not want to make you sick with what I purchase the Chieftec cases for.
I purchase them directly from Chieftec USA.
Most of us have been here for at least awhile, you are new and don't know any better, I guess?

[Gixxer420]

Dude, you REALLY need to check your specs. Gixxer is right. It's Japan Steel dude.

Man, that's freaking heavy for a case.

[Gixxer420]

lol

my case and everthing my weigh that but i doubt it :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[BobyJo]

I guess you can't read either. You are also sorta ignorant if you think I can't tell the difference between Aluminum and Steel. I opened you link to BZBoys, and if you will read, it says plainly 1.0MM ALUMINUM MADE. No where does it say STEEL for this case.

Humm, what was the point? You clearly ARE NOT reading what you are referencing and Gixxer is.

Here is the copy and paste for BZBoys. You can plainly see the lesser case states 1.0 MM SECC JAPAN STEEL.

The better A6000A case is plainly labled 1.0MM ALUMINUM MADE. Just what do you decipher in this that says the ALUMINUM case is steel?????

This is stupid as anything I have ever been envolved with. This is all I am going to say about it. Nothing left to say except you guys need to read your own stuff.

[CiKoTiC]

Here is a screen shot of the specs taken directly from the bzboys website.

It clearly says japan steel.

[eviltechie]

xaxer is not the chenming

only the front cover is plastic
so what?
how much heavier is a small piece of plastic going to weigh?
not everyone likes things squareish

and before you do anymore kiddie insults, just quit it
chasis of chenming x-pider is aluminum

if you havent lifted one before
dont talk about it like you own one

because you dont own a chenming aluminum

[Gixxer420]

got a chieftec (chemning same as) right beside me and my lian li is lighter with my system in it then the chieftec is empty





drive through

[eviltechie]

are you blind?

chenming aluminum

[eviltechie]

http://www.thermaltake.com/products/cases/6000b.htm

Material 1.0mm Aluminum Chassis

that bzboy website is bs
mistakes

[Gixxer420]

do you own any of these? I do and can tell a difference and can see what I read can't you

[CiKoTiC]

Japan Steel is NOT the same as Aluminum. I have owned 2 chieftec cases. One was Japan Steel and the other steel. Gixxer has a true aluminum Lian Li case and I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT TRUE ALUMINUM IS MUCH LIGHTER THAN JAPAN STEEL. Gixxer and I have had them side by side many times. There IS a difference!!!

Look at the pic and you will see it CLEARLY states JAPAN STEEL. What other proof do you need?

jeez!

[eviltechie]

aluminum cases are NOT made from japanese steel
and NO ONE is talking about japanese steel cases

so drop that out first, ok cik?

im talking about the chenming x-pider aluminum

i went to Fry's during christmas vacation and pretty much lifted all of the aluminum cases on sale

including the Lian Li PC-7
and the chenming
older one, not exact but almost the same

difference is little
sizes of the cases differ too

[CiKoTiC]

ET, your way off base man. Your not even on the same sheet of music.

[eviltechie]

please read first page right from the start

[Gixxer420]

point being???

[CiKoTiC]

yea, whats your point ET?

[eviltechie]

japan steel like most other cases are chieftec, one above, ect ect..

"one above" was an aluminum one
chenming x-pider aluminum

no japan steel

so you go tell Japan Steel is NOT the same as Aluminum. to him

[eviltechie]

you know what

i dont want to argue with you guys
not because you are saying im wrong but it is because you keep on using meaninless and childish phrases in arguements such as calling people "kid", "ignorant"

this isnt going anywhere
its up to that guy whether he likes a squareish and box looking computer case or not

[Gixxer420]

Fair enough but chieftec nor chemning doesn't make a ALUMINUM case they are constructed with 1.0 SECC which is Japan Steel. But like you said its up to him to choose. Sorry if I affended you by calling you a kid.

[CiKoTiC]

dont want to argue with you guys
not because you are saying im wrong but it is because you keep on using meaninless and childish phrases in arguements such as calling people "kid", "ignorant"

Humm... I don't think I used any of the phrases you claim. You might want to edit that post bubba. :mad:

[eviltechie]

gixxer not u
i didnt say u

[Jason425]

cikottic maybe you should just be like me and watch people fight, nobody said anything about you :D

[mad_]

Flaming people online is is like competing in the special olympics... even if you win your still retarded...

After reading all these posts I can't belive that a forum here on TWL has gotten this bad. Everyone I have seen post here has exercised control in there posts until now. I can't belive the cik hasnt said anything to GIXXER becuase his comments have been clearly out of line since the beginning whether he is right or wrong. Especially since it appears you two are buddies.

[Gixxer420]

Seems like to me that other people that didn't have a bark in this dispute should just read.



Drive On!!!!!!!

[Aemon_]

look people, its a freakin case. i dont give a crap what its made of, cause its just a case. and it costs more than i'm ever gonna pay for a CASE. its holds what really matters together and covers it up. so quit arguing about it.

back to the original point of this thread...

prometh... just get a cheap generic case and cut more fan holes if you need them, and paint that sucker.

just my opinion.

later

[Gixxer420]

you can get a case for around 50-75 some with a power supply and some not. There are plenty of cases out there and many many to choose from just depends on how deep you can get into your pockets.

[CiKoTiC]

Ok, no more mud slinging fellas. From here on out, lets keep it civil.

I can't belive the cik hasnt said anything to GIXXER becuase his comments have been clearly out of line since the beginning whether he is right or wrong. Especially since it appears you two are buddies

I did warn him about that. I just didn't post it for everyone to see.
