Looking for a nice, spacious BTX casing. Might be running 2 SLi and PhysX. Able to fit in 6 hard disk spaciously + 2 optical drive. Most importantly, must have good airflow.

Budget max RM1k without PSU. Hope it's not too little.

If it's a workhorse ur lookin for --> the old Stacker (not the new sh1t)

You can whack everything but the kitchen sink inside.

Guys,
Do you have any comments on this HEC 6A34. http://www.hec-group.com.tw/model.php?cate..._tower&model=6a

Standard utilitarian casing lor... Works like any casing would but nothing really exciting.

May I know which is exciting casing? Still not sure wat casing to get for average budget. I'm not looking for fancy, pancy casing, just a good casing with good airflow (12cm fan) and silent.

Hahaha... its a geek thing. tongue.gif

In essence, a case a just a metal box so basically everything works more or less the same.

Exciting in this case means... perhaps more exotic material like aluminum, some non-conventional internal layout or for some folks fancy pancy bling etc... or

YEa, i love the TJ08 as well but too bad it was M-ATX. Dont like M-ATX unless i am setting up HTPC or something...

What's wrong with m-ATX? I think it's a great form factor. Not everybody need big towers for extreme overclocking, water cooling etc and I'm sure 95% of the population won't have more than 2 expansion card.

i was thinking of getting ah lian pc 007 to replace my HEC midtower(rust everywhere haihh) any comments on this casing?only this casing i can fork out.my budget is below rm350.

While I'm not sure whether KL still selling this casing but personally I would go for the PC-G7 instead

http://www.lian-li.com/product/product06.p..._index=4&type=b

Main reason being is that the HDD is softmounted on the G7 while the PC-007 use the more traditional screws. Hard mounted HDD's and thin aluminum (both G7 and 007 are the more "value" models) are not a good combo = vibration = HDD noise.

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..

In terms of "real" Lian Li's.... the 2 classics are:

PC-60 mid and PC-70 full towers.. these were legendary during their days and still continued till today.

V-series. Celup Apple but damn sexy until today.
