Damn....... That is almost a buying price for me!!!

Yeah, but $150 is about all I can ever justify for an empty case.

I have 200 in my case I bought 4 years ago. But it has been worth it. Still looks brand new and still my computer is near silent.

Oh, well counting lights & lighted fans in my case, I got over $200 in mine too!

Make it yourself

I bet you could make a pretty close representation to the one in the picture.
Why so much? Its not even water cooled.

Jake,

What you do not see in the picture is the highly engineered cable system that hides ALL of the wires

Boonie, I spent 200 on the case.. And likely another 100-120 on whisper quiet fans and rubber to make vibration dampners for them all.

It needs fans. Really big fans. And LOTS of them.

Looks like 3 holes and you just hide everything.

Have you had a thermaltake case before? My first self-built I used a thermaltake and it was horrible. Neat looking, neat gizmos, but really poor quality. Nothing worked as it was supposed to, the quick release expansion card retainers never closed properly. Also had trouble with the hard drive bays. I now have an Antec Solo. IMO Antecs are the absolute best for the money.

I have.
Very well built.

I'm going for the opposite next time.. no fans.. quiet.. I just consolidated all my stuff into one esx server that runs pretty silently and i had forgot what silence was in my computer room.

I want big fans that sound like 747 engines, not the little weeny ones that sound incredibly anemic.

It's two different cases. Boonie's first pic is the Level 10, which is $850. The $265 case is the Level 10GT.

Level 10
Level 10GT

The Level 10GT is just a normal case with Level 10 styling elements.

Then you want one like mine.

Aerocool ExtremeEngine3T 250mm fan one the side, 140mm fan at the front, and either one 120mm or two 80mm in the rear.

my home pc is a pos anymore... nothing special, but we did just order 6 of these for work

Freakin Sweet! and those aren't the 4-5 blade fans either, those blades look like they're out of a turbo-fan.

Nice, but I'm not sure how I'd fit those in my new 4x4x4 Opteron server I just built...



Quad-proc, quad-core Opteron 8354's in a 4U Supermicro 748TQ-R1400B case with a Tyan Thunder n4250QE SSI-MEB, powered by dual-redundant 1400W hot-swap supplies.

Maybe a bit much for a file server, but the triple gigE ports do keep the media flowing on my home network.
