That thing looks like a transformer threw up on a computer case.

Yea, not my original thought. I would be reprimanded if I said what I thought.

Looke like ****e, man.

Now I can totally vision some nubcake having that case next to one of Defyant's HPR cases at a lan party and saying some dumb crap like "my case is better".

:rolleyes:

You know whats funny that I just thought of? It might just be me though...

If one of US was to make it from scrap... and we posted it saying that we designed and built this... I bet people would probably like it? What do you guys think? lol

oh hahahah... especially if it was bid daddy crimson himself who built it! 90 percent of us would probably drool over it! lol

again.. MIGHT JUST BE ME!?

I think you're right Snowfire. I'd be impressed by the modding skills if someone had made this out of (e.g.) a Lanboy case, though I wouldn't pretend to like it.

There is a difference between a bad looking case made in a factory and a bad looking case made by hand.
You know that's what the person wanted, even if we think it looks like utter crap.
Drool over it? No. Not a chance.
The V for Vandetta case is something to drool over.

That is a good point... factory build and modder built are pretty darn different. lol

The V for Vendetta case is pretty amazing! Can't wait for that one to be finished! Well... actually I can. It's always fun to watch the progress ^^

Haha you guys are such mod snobs. It's a little flashy but I'd take it over any old beige cloner. Cases like that are made for people who don't have the time, money, tools, or knowledge to mod their own case. I don't see too many cases on the market trying to do something about thermal issues, which the Nighthawk apparently does with it's PSU area on the bottom under a panel, a large front intake, and an outtake located in the rear ontop of the case, where the heat is really going to travel. And for $99, I'm sure you're not buying an aluminum piece of junk.

And besides, ABS (http://www.abs.com/) is primarily a computer hardware distributer. They don't really try to be tough **** that they know they aren't.

I can show you plastic ass.

The thing is I like the layout of the chassis, but not the finished palstics. I like the side, but not the front.

Maybe soon a custom case company will figure out how to please most of the people most of the time. They would be able to offer an option of chassis(short/mid/tall tower), with skin options. Pick the chassis that suits your needs and add the skins of your choosing. Hey could be a business there...

That....

Would be pretty dang cool!

I often find I like the exterior but I dont like the interior and vice versa. For some reason especially with the Lian Li cases... Then the ones I do like all around are like $300+! lol oh well.. I'm happy with the G50B.

I'm the opposite. I think the $150+ cases are outrageous and often don't look good enough to spend that kind of money.
You can find fantastic cases between 20 and 80 dollars that work just as well.
As for the beige cases, we're modders...they shouldn't stay beige very long.

As for Aussies, they got a good deal. Going from England to an island paradise...hmmmm....
Weird Al makes some funny spoofs. Good stuff.

An island the size of the United States with only 20 million people and is like 85% Desert.

As opposed to the "glowwy" LEDs and neons that many modders just stick around their case like post-its? C'mon. :rolleyes:

Thanks to MDCS, I have a new found love for that case. But as is.. it is still ugly.


Top 3 places I want to visit...

Brazil (Beach babes)
UK (Funny accent people... ha ha.. just kidding dave ;) )
Austrailia (I have a death wish)

My french teacher went to austrailia and like the total noob tourist she was, she sat at the back of the bus. She also told me that she came within inches of other cars going at insane speeds! Do you want to confirm any of this? :p

You aussies are crazy drivers!
