Whaddya think?

Why does this remind me so strongly of the futuristic aesthetic in Mass Effect 2??? I like! ;)

Had to search a bit for it: $139.99.

Alternate color, also reminiscent of ME2:

Gimme.

It might just be the two pictures shown and their respective colors, but the first thing that popped into my head was Evangelion.

Hell yeah, throw on a NERV logo and it would fit in perfectly.

[Anenome]

True! Especially the red one!

Sexy. The Cooler Master case I have now is such a monster, I don't think I'll ever end up changing it out.

That is a sweet looking case. I have an older Cooler Master myself and was looking at just gutting it for a rebuild but this makes me want new all the way around.

happy gaming

That actually looks pretty nice. I'm glad that NZXT is getting some good case designs out.

I'm kind of an Antec whore. (Super Lanboy and then the 900 being my last two cases) so i've mostly been looking at the DF-85

myself.

Cooler Master is my typical second place, with awesome stuff like the HAF or the CM 690, and the always trustworthy Centurion 5 series. (I've built more computers into centurion 5's than any other case design.)

Oh man, I like that one Syl. At $173.99 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129087&Tpk=df-85)it's not THAT bad. I'm also kind of an Antec slut, owning a 1200 and a 300. I used to really like Thermaltake's designs but most of them lately are just too much money or simply fugly.

That NZXT is a very nice case. I like the Antec Syl posted too.

I got this XCLIO case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103010), with an 850W Antec power supply, as a gift a little over a year ago. If I had picked out my own I would have gone with another Antec case. This one does run cool and quiet, so I'm keeping it until the fans crap out. (It came with two 250mm fans and I added a 120mm exhaust fan.)

Well, that's the full tower case in the DF series. The DF-30 and DF-35 are mid-towers and much closer to $100-$120 in cost.

I'm just at the stage in my computer building where I'm pretty sure I need a full tower case. My 900 is simply too small for all the stuff i have in it.

So this thread has devolved into case-epeen, wonderful :P

Are you ashamed of your case Anenome? Is that why you won't show it?

How about some video card-epeen? :D

I got a code for 20% off at the EVGA store with my StarCraft II pre-order and purchased an EVGA GeForce GTX 470 SuperClocked+ w/ High Flow Bracket and Backplate (http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=012-P3-1475-AR&family=GeForce 400 Series Family&sw=).

I'm going to put my GTX 285 in my wife's rig and use her GTX 260 as a dedicated PhysX card.

Teehee they called it the Phantom.

I'm just too broke with all of my bills to purchase a new card, but if I could it'd be a new 460 or 470.

My ATi 4870 will have to do the job for now, and it isn't even that bad of a card but whatever.



@Syl:

I have to have a full-tower case nowadays with all of the drives I have running in RAID on my 3Ware 9500-s8 (159mbps, btw).

[Anenome]

I prefer screenpeen :P

Case? What case? lol
Ever since my CPU-fan quit on me I've had to get... creative.

Just kidding, I have a vanilla Dell XPS case and a normal size screen (22"). I don't like to build my own systems either :P

[Syl]

That's... an interesting way to do thing, is there any room for the air to get in from the bottom?

[Anenome]

Syl... Control+A man.
