@oldfox

It is available at ATE right now .. even got it on demo at the shop..

However it doesn't fit non MATX mobo so be concern about it ...

If u are looking for something small yet fit ATX mobo then go Lian Li A-05, great case at the smallest size ..

Thankx Bro...
but now headache about MATX MOBO~~~~
aikss......DOOM , any suggestion aboit <MATX MOBO, budget below RM600
*
Sure, either Abit Fatality F190GHD or Asus M2A-VM HDMI

I would go for Abit coz it looks better and can fit C2D .. if u like AMD then Asus or Biostar could be another choice ...

but since they retreated from LYP there's not much of supplier TT product like last time ...

I'll be building up a new rig with P35 and 8800 GTX, and i cant seems to have any idea which casing to choose with a budget of RM 300 @_@ anyone can help ?
*
Yah just grab a A07, PC-7S or PC-7 ... all three fit into ur budget range .. but it's not the best u could get for cooling of ur 8800GTX ...

Add in a side panel with side blow hole plus a side patent fan kit .. it could cool off u ur GTX and mobo nice...

QUOTE(SephirothX @ Jul 18 2007, 11:58 AM)
I'm doing a budget planning now. Just wonder what brand, what model have this sort of casing which I'm looking for. That is why if there's the price mentioned, it would be great.
*
Ic ic ,,,, basically it's a bit hard to recommend a case with lots of drive bays that u have mentioned .. coz most standard atx case comes with 4 ROM drives and 2 floppy drives bay

Anyway just check out some of the well known case website for more detail such ... coolermaster, silverstone and lian li..

hmmm .. .basically now days u could get better aluminum case from Lian Li since a Tsunami cost RM475 from bulk order which could be higher if get from retail shop ...

which model to recommend also still up to ur preference of design since u mentioned design of the case comes into consideration ...

so u have to decide the appearance of which case to get first ....

anyway just go to Lian Li official site to check it out ....

On my quest onTT casing, I've seen a Kandalf on the 3rd floor of Low Yat about two shops away from ViewNet. It's black in colour. My pants dropped when I check the price out (RM1300/=). I'm also looking for Armor(my other preference is Tsunami).

I'll give it a try checking out Lian Li casings... Btw, where will be the best place to get a good variety and reasonable Lian-Li casings (still subjectable to models,right?)?
*
U could check out ATE over LYP there ... they have got most of the Lian Li case in store ...

There's another shop PC-Zone also selling two models ...

hhaha ,, DIY is the best but not everyone got time, experience and spare cash to burn to try it out differently ..

I personally spent lots of money over RM100 to get the stuffs here and there because most of time we couldn't get all the stuffs required under one roof..

all those time and money spent is really hassle .. but I kind of enjoy it in the end when the result turn out nice ....

hahha .. .that's why we would recommend Lian Li cases .. full aluminum !!

3 times lighther than steel case for the same size and design

and only about RM100 more with all other goodies u could get out of it ,,,

U could check out the Gigabyte thread there are few users....

according to the review the rear fans doesn't help much coz intake is pretty restricted ...

Lian Li has lots of case with good air flow regardles standard ATX or full tower ... or even the mini tower also not bad ..

It's definitely cheaper than SS yet does comes with lots of goodies that SS doesn't offer.

no offense for SS supporter as I'm pointing out the fact only .

I like TJ-07 and SUGO-03 but it's just so expensive ....

It cost RM798 ....

it's not the best of Lian Li case ever made.. but just one of the good one..

I still think V series is the best .. both design and performance..

I would suggest you to go for Lian Li ...... since it's full aluminum and has good airflow as well ..

Gigabyte are mostly make of SECC steel that often resulted heavier weight and difficulty in modding the case if needed...
