dude.... your mobo is an ATX one... need to change that first... changing mine too... have the same mobo as well...

and I'm going for SG02... maybe...

u forgot to put in the most inportant info.... ur budget.

also measurements of the space of the rack would be a good idea.


anyway...id recommend the CM Elite 360

can fit ur stuff...and can be used as horizontal or vertical orientation...

check out this review

elite 360 is budget case
is TS has a higher budget
can go for the silverstone SG series

CM Elite 360

can fit atx mobo, atx sized psu, and can fit 8800GT without a problem

budget around RM500

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 how to fix into htpc.. buy new matx mobo la.. then try Aopen transformer casing.. hehe..

CM Elite 360 supports ATX mobo, that's why it's one of my consideration

there is tons of option for desktop/htpc options and can fix atx mobo & graphic card. if can add more budget, there is even more... try surf Modernopc.com then contact bro modernopc here also can.

Anyone know which shop has the most lian li, been to low yat last week, didn't get to see the models that i want.
Like this one

V351 only supports m-ATX mobo....

and for that one u should go to ATE on the 2nd floor

check lian li league thread for more

do you know how much is it roughly, will check in modernopc in subang soon.

thanks

about 300+ or 400+ forgot.

n as far as i remember moderno doesnt carry lian li cases.

i just bought the last sliver one from ate... heard that another black one is coming that afternoon... if that sold... had to buy form karom or cex...
ate is not bring in more lian li case already

btw... the new one build quality is poor compare to older lian li case... just picky

buying from karom aint too bad la...coz he used to get it direct from Lian Li only thing is postage if ur not in penang.

buying from cex might be another issue though....coz if he got it from the new local lian li distributor...it might end up being expensive...

suggest getting quotes from both parties and compare.

go for elite 360...

cheap, nice design, using it to type this post right now as i usually surf with my HTPC

try ah beng lor.....

cool, mind to post your setup to us?

elite 360 also not bad, cheapo somemore..... but for me, it looks too "tidy and clean" u know..... i like "rough" casing.....
