    The Antec 900 is not loud...especially considering the cooling...Very nice case...I recommend it alot if it fits the budget...usually around $129 to $149...but occassionally you can get it for the $89 after rebate...

    Lately I have been recommending the Enermax Chakra's...Best case right now for $79.00 without any rebates...great cooling...low noise...

    The Cooler Master Wave Master is $99 right now at SVC...Great all Aluminum case...Best buy for under a $100...It is my Favorite Case...

    While we're throwing out case suggestions, I really like my cooler master mystique. 100% aluminum construction (less than 1/2 the weight of most metal cases) and true tooless design. Only thing that requires a screwdriver is installing the mobo and power supply.

    I think any of the previous suggestions would be good choices.

    Its steep...but exceptional paint jobs by Smooth Creations...not a bad price once you factor in price of the stacker...at close to $300 by its self...Limited to 50 cases...I spoke to Ashley Wills at Smooth Creations...It takes over 60hrs per case for painting...He said they actually will lose money on each case...Once you factor in the Labor...They are doing it for the publicity only...

    I forgot these are one off...stacker's...the only way I believe you can get this particular model is through CSX...Different Front Door...

    This is the paint job I really want...Only personalized...However Smooth Creations s not taking...one Off's...right now...I am going to talk to some local shops...to see what I can do...

    Ya instead of the artwork hanging on your walls it's setting on your desktop :) Too rich for my blood but those are some bad a$$ cases. I'd rather put most of my money under the hood though :)

    Thats how you have to look at them...as Art...
    Thats an excellent way to justify the price...
    Hell...They will probably go up in value...

    I really like the Bass Drum Rig...and the Pyramid...The rectangular tower is kind of neat...I never liked the Lian-Li Anniversary case...

    Does anyone remember the Windmill case Mod from a couple years back...It was a diorama of a windmill with all the parts concealed in it...Or the Acoustic Guitar that was a computer...
