Pimp My PC

[Cleric]

I'm looking to get a new chassis for my pc, as my current tower just doesn't look as cool as when I bought it, and doesn't justify whats inside.
However, I don't really have the time to shop around at every store for a decent, large, and good-looking case.So please help...

Any and all ideas on:
* what new chassis to get
* where to get it
* accessories
* any any other recommendations

With regards to overall look, I'm quite keen on red neon inside, with a kinda "evil" overall look.

Thanks guys

Just replace the blue 92cm fan with an red one... :-P

Thanks, looks pretty sweet.
One question though, the clear panel is on the right, and an article mentions "upside down ATX"
Does this mean that my GFX card will now have the cooling on the top (ie mobo upside down)

The one the only (http://www.prophecy.co.za/raidmax-smilodon-black-chassis-p-21960.html).

Yes, but its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worth it, ive got mine and just looooooooooooove it, I got mine from Computer Mania for R900 at the time.

Only thing is that it is BIG and rather heavy but you could fit alot into this baby.

Comx has the black ones for R800 and I've seen another site that has the silver ones also for R800

The 'upside down' layout makes ur GPU card show better, the cooler side is on top and the see-thru panel is high enough to see the GPU clearly. In a normal case you always see the 'back' of a GPU

The side fan blows! :-P
It's really, really, really noise on full power, but with a vantec nexus fan+light controller you just adjust to how hard you want it to blow.... :-/

The 25cm fan does make a 10degree diff on my 8800GTS!
and I haven't had a prob caused by the 'upside down' design, infact, once you go upside down, you never go back.

My case is now on 18.5kg, but the structure is really well made and the quality is very good!
Still believe there isn't a case like this for R800

Aerocool FTW!
