Alluminium have:

- light weight
- easy to shape (DIY)
- easy to cut than steel
- better heat channeling
- STRANGE sense of touch due to the STRANGE textures feeling

WHERE IS MY ALLUMINUM !!!!! Damn who the heck stole it ?!

For me I like its light in weight and its finished... it looks better in Aluminium compare to steel.

because black brushed aluminium is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sexy

owh..

lightweight making it good to be carried into LAN parties..

steel easy to shape? i thot it was a type of metal that is hard to be welded.. hurm...

really is easier to cut than steel? but duzn't the steel made into cases fairly thin? not those construction type steel ayte?

smooth finish.. waa... being hypnotised by the touch of brushed aluminium.. MUST resist.. but the prices for such cases are expensivoo!!

expensive!?

Lancool Metal Boned = RM198
Lian Li PC-7S = RM245
Lian Li PC-7 = RM298

thats the cheapest brushed aluminum case from Lian Li

same price tag if u compare with those steel case namely CM690

nowadays alu case not expensive anymore la. so many choices, great texture and feeling good....

anyway, lightweight and brushed textures is my choice...

i like it when u on the light, like crysis da nano suit lmao!

and its light

I got the cash, and curious.

one of the biggest let down of aluminium cases: vibration resistance is very poor. You won't find many alu cases in the spcr community...

i like it coz its lightweight and easy to cut.
and brushed alu is very2 nice

alu = better heat channeling n easy to cut..

black alu == sexaayy!!

that's true

just don't mount any fan on the side panel

& the vibrations problem gone

Aluminium casing more shining than a steel casing and it's more lighter

owh.. i c.. price is kinda ok too if u are bale to get it under RM200.. aluuring.. hurm..

its lightweight so maybe we can bring it to starbucks and get wireless connection and surf the internet and stuff. hehe..

easier to cut.. well, because its hard to weld, i thought it was hard to cut. can we use primitive tools to cut it? like a coping saw?

brushed finish kills man!! its really cool. but if we plan to paint it, maybe better to try to avoid such cases with brushed finish. then rugi laa cuz we covered the brushed finish..

vibrating problem? put the case on a small piece of carpet laa.. hehehe

lighter and easy to bring it to lan party :thumb:

and easier to carry to ianho..

I think Alu is less DIRT-DISTRACTOR, my Raidmax Saggita got the Super-Glossy-Black-Finish and... Dust easilly stick on them... Any solutions ? T_T

aluminium can be staticly charged easily.. one way to maybe reduce this is to put a conductor between the case and the ground. than the static charge will move and not get static anymore. or u can wipe it..
