G22 0 Posted May 10, 2005 What make/model Mid Tower cases do you use for your PC Based setup or workstation even? Any aluminum ones? Pros/Cons? Please post pics as well if you have them. I have looked at the Antec P160 and the Lian-Li PC-60 aluminum cases, but want opinions first. I had an Antec Sonata before but sold the system a while ago. The Sonata was OK I guess, but the door hinge broke and the exterior scratched easily. I need to build a PC anyway, so it is an excuse to perhaps use it for CCTV at some point. The case needs to be less than 19" high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G22 0 Posted May 10, 2005 I think I b getting this one. It is also affordable and can get a PSU later of my choosing. http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=93000# Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted May 10, 2005 sweet... Herm sent me 2 PCs I havent checked to see the cases make yet, but they looked great. They are at the contractors location so I dont have them here and the electrician is still running the wire (sleep) Id like it if the cards could fit in something like this though http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=15730 http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=15100 Dont know if they are big enough though ...

G22 0 Posted May 10, 2005 Yes, the Antec Overture II was the first one I wanted actually. They are very perty. I would imagine the cards would fit fine. Are these I-view cards very large? I remember my Sonata case with the large bright blue LED's... it was the perfect night light in my bedroom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted May 10, 2005 yeah the I-view cards are huge as far as a PC card goes. Not sure on the exact size though without taking it out and measuring it ... I can if yah want, but ill loose my demo in the mean time .. herm might have the size in his notes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve6690 0 Posted May 10, 2005 Antec SLK1650B. Last two systems I built I used these cases and I'll keep on using them. It's a midi-tower with 350W power supply for around £43. Nice to work with and comes with a quiet(ish) rear fan. Keeps the components nice and cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VST_Man 1 Posted May 10, 2005 take a look at the Qpack case. i've ordered one and will use it on my next install to give the PC Based a look of it's own. Very nice case, lots of cooling, power, and functional. less than $100 us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billm 0 Posted May 12, 2005 I have my second card from Hermin, I haven't installed it yet so let's see... it measures 4 1/2 X 7 5/8". I used my grounded measuring tape.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
