2 Sexy Looking Cases - GortWillSaveUs - 2013-01-28 Okay,...I hate applying "sexy" to a case,....but these do look pretty sweet. Has anyone used these cases? Experiences, good, bad A friend was going to buy a $2,000 touch-screen "all-in-one" PC. I told him that I could do it for less than half that price,...and he'd still able to buy a Tablet with the left over money. Anyway,..I was looking at these 2 Silverstone cases: Silverstone Tek Aluminum Mini ITX 140mm FanX1 USB3.0x2 3.5-Inchx1 and 2.5-Inchx2 Drive Bays Tower Computer Case FT03S-MINI - Silver Silverstone Tek Thin Mini-ITX Media Center for Intel DH61AG Mother Board with Slim ODD Bay Case, Black PT12B $59.99 He wants at a minimum an i3,...but he'd really like the i7. I'm trying to talk him down from thinking he needs the equivalent of "Big Blue",...but he's a little determined. So I'll be spec'ing out 3 different systems and the prices, with parts. This'll be going in his bedroom,...so he wants a touch screen less than 22",...and can run XBMC. Of course I told him that he could get an A6,..but like I said,..he has his heart on an i7. So be it. He fell over when I showed him my XBMC system. RE: 2 Sexy Looking Cases - twelvebore - 2013-01-28 Silverstone are a frustrating company. The top one would look so much better without their silly logo on it. The bottom one ... I came across this when contemplating a thin-ITX build, personally I think it looks like it's just been thrown together. That vent thing on the left, on the front panel held in by screws, it just looks cheap. Likewise the tray-load optical drive rather than slot-load. As far as I can tell this case is made for a market where aesthetics come a distant second, it doesn't make for a sexy HTPC. In my personal opinion of course RE: 2 Sexy Looking Cases - Zigmo - 2013-01-28 I like the first case better than the 2nd. I have to agree with the previous poster. If the frst one could come with without the logo. RE: 2 Sexy Looking Cases - kokoro - 2013-01-28 I think this one look much better: RE: 2 Sexy Looking Cases - GortWillSaveUs - 2013-01-28 (2013-01-28, 20:34)Zigmo Wrote: I like the first case better than the 2nd.

In fact,...now that I look at it,...the silver one looks like a mini refrigerator where you could keep your beer. (2013-01-28, 20:41)kokoro Wrote: I think this one look much better: Yup! That does look much better! I'll check this one out. (2013-01-28, 20:41)kokoro Wrote: I think this one look much better: Yikes £399.00 or,...$640 USD?? That can't be right,...is it? RE: 2 Sexy Looking Cases - kokoro - 2013-01-28 Lol, yeah the price is crazy...but the hardware is included at least. Otherwise these cases are also nice and expensive: Atechfabrication RE: 2 Sexy Looking Cases - Dougie Fresh - 2013-01-29 How about these for mini-ITX towers? E-M5 E-M3 RE: 2 Sexy Looking Cases - heemid17 - 2013-01-29 I've always been partial to this one: Wesena $65 + shipping on Amazon RE: 2 Sexy Looking Cases - lagledavid - 2013-01-29 (2013-01-29, 02:13)Dougie Fresh Wrote: How about these for mini-ITX towers? those are nice were can you get them RE: 2 Sexy Looking Cases - Dougie Fresh - 2013-01-29 (2013-01-29, 04:34)lagledavid Wrote: those are nice were can you get them I should be able to get them end of next month. I like the Wesena too although the $65 doesn't get you a power supply or IR receiver/remote and the shipping is not cheap. Three sexy cases RE: 2 Sexy Looking Cases - BORIStheBLADE - 2013-01-29 (2013-01-28, 20:41)kokoro Wrote: I think this one look much better: Yeah this is a pretty nice case. I would love to get something like that for a reasonable price. ( empty) RE: 2 Sexy Looking Cases - mobias1313 - 2013-01-29 Dougie Fresh I have to say I love your cases. First time I saw them I immediately started thinking about a new build around using one.

First time I saw them I immediately started thinking about a new build around using one. Me too . I fell in love with the E-i7, had to order a case of them and then the rest is history. Be careful... shiny brushed aluminum is addictive! If you have a DH61AG motherboard, this would be the ultimate thin HTPC mini-ITX case (IMHO): Morex 887 Notice it has an IR port and you can use a tray load or slot load optical. RE: 2 Sexy Looking Cases - kokoro - 2013-01-29 The E-M5 black is a very sexy case Dougie fresh, it reminds me the ones from HFX and Awieco: HFX Powernas RE: 2 Sexy Looking Cases - lem000 - 2013-01-29 (2013-01-29, 10:47)kokoro Wrote: The E-M5 black is a very sexy case Dougie fresh, it reminds me the ones from HFX and Awieco: Except you can only get one 3.5" drive in it! |
