Yes.
SECC is steel.

But your sentences about aluminium stronger than metal is wrong.
Aluminium is softer than metal. Thus, aluminium can bent easily compared to stell casing.

Acrylic casings have slightly worse cooling than steel casings. Aluminium is the best in terms of cooling, but the difference is often not noticable if you ventilate the casings well.

Thermal dissipation (from best to worst)
-Aluminium
-Steel
-Acrylic

Strength (from best to worst)
-Steel
-Aluminium (doesn't break that easily, but can be very easily dented)
-Acrylic (can crack or break)

How good it looks like is a subjective opinion, so I can't say which is the best or worst in terms of looks.

-Added-
the comparisions are assuming the casings have exactly the same design, identical to every milimeter, and are identically ventilated.

nice reply bro.

especially the best to worse ones...for comparison


btw...acrylic is freaking heavy actually =.= to carry it around would be a hassle.

acrylic casing scratch easily too...

Where can I find a wide varieties ThermalTake casings? I've searched the whole Low Yat and only a handful of shops carrying a one to two models the most. So far I have located Lanmoto, Shark and Kandalf. Where can I find Tsunami or Amour Jnr? thx...

i think alu casing is the best. acrylic casing is just for those who want to put some light and modified their casing to like bling bling oni.
secc is quite heavy if wanna bring around.

I just saw 1 tsunami case at AllIT...but the condition is quite bad d...got lotsa oilly finger print and scratches

If you want a super silent PSU, try go for the Zalman 400w or theres some 0db FSP 400w PSUs which i've came across once in LY.

0db that is nice, but whats the model ? and the price range.

eskismi.. i`ll little bit confuse about m-atx casing with normal atx casing.. wut is da diff? can mobo that support form factor m-atx fit into normal atx casing or vice verse?

simply put...

ATX - big

m-ATX - small

u can fit something small into something big... but can u fit something big into something small??

owh.. i c.. tq.. so it is juz a matter of size eh? & it is no prob for me to change my mobo (atx one) with new one m-atx one eh? hehe juz in case i buy wrongly..

if ur using an ATX case then no prob...u can use both types...

but m-ATX case.. only m-ATX mobos.

Btw, is there any other difference between m-ATX and ATX, apart from the size? Also was wondering what can be slotted in the PCI, AGP slot? Eg. GPU, soundcard, modem...

Edit: Sorry forgot it's the wrong topic. Btw, how do you put a line on the words? Like cut through one.
