My own five-case roundup discussion $40-$200. Add your own?

Thanks guys. I think it was actually RV02-BW....however I don't remember the front being so butt ugly.

Haha, isn't it amazing how your opinion can change like that?

I dont really think it's that ugly. Personally I think front panels are always annoying, and usually ugly. There are a few cases, in my opinion, that pull it off well. I just hate to have to open something to get to my DVD drive, or maybe sometimes USB ports. Then they wear out, and dont shut all the way and hang open constantly.. then I just end up ripping them off!

Edit: That was a little off topic from your post I quoted. Just to be clear.. I was ranting about front panel doors. haha

Uh, oh, somebody's been pandered to enough, and they're starting to get cranky.

the antec 900 is a great case i use that case personally and its amazing. aslo i love this case better over the regular raven series. SILVERSTONE Fortress Series FT02B-W

pander [ˈpændə]

n also 'panderer

2. a person who procures a sexual partner for another; pimp

lol, what?

Perhaps the Captain was referring to a more traditional interpretation.

I am surprised nobody has mentioned the ubiquitous, owned by every third enthusiast' (including me) industrial/military/studio apartment in the warehouse district , not sure what it wants to be....HAF 932

i did forget the haf 932 i like the haf x to and there both under $200

Oh looky there, you managed to find the legal definition of pander. Well, the "dictionary habit" is a good one, so stick with it.

Mizzou gives us the traditional, (and my intended), definition of "pander".

Perhaps I should have used, "catered", or "patronized", there's less ambiguity in either of those terms.

Most threads along these lines usually go on for quite a while, with the OP buying exactly what he or she would have bought before starting the thread. Make no mistake, I don't get offended when my recommendations aren't heeded. I simply don't care what anybody buys.

This is why I've developed a very limited patience for dealing with them. So when the OP starts making remarks like this:

It's usually gone on long enough. At least my participation with it has.

Are we really supposed to believe that you're torn between a $200.00 full tower and a $40.00 Cooler Master tin can? I'm thinking no.

At the end of the day, I don't really care if your computer even boots, let alone wish to continue with comparing apples to oranges, while simultaneously embracing a semantic dialog on my intended meaning of the word "pander".

Buy what you like, use it, enjoy it. As an enthusiast, I'm sure you will be able to talk yourself into buying the most expensive case on your list, and then justify it to yourself because of perhaps, one small feature. Who knows, maybe it will come in handy.

My god! is there a better buy out there?
:stickout:

Emphatically NO...! I'd opt for buying two of them, and use them as book ends for my IT and programming books.

Which one is the compartment for the orchid plant?

Okay guys, I've been looking around. There are two cases that really have my interest. Hope you dont mind me bumping up my post here.

Wow, what a pain in the *** to link photos...

Any experience with these? Any noticable flaws or downfalls to these designs? Cant imagine there being too many with these $150 - $180 cases.

Thanks Leeky. I found 'em both. I think I will change up to that case... these different designs get a little confusing... there are 3 of them, but i swear it seems like there are 4 or 5 when I'm browsing around on sites.

I'll end up reading through these reviews some more. In the mean time, any one else have personal experiences with these?

So Leeky, what type of case are you currently using? ...if you dont mind if i ask. EDIT: NVM I saw you posted it already! Thanks.

...and you Captain? You still checking this thread?

Trill,
I will be able to give you feedback on one of the Raven revisions, once I figure out which one i'm after. One of them will afford room for quad CF and the other not. I think I am going to have to run down to Micro-Center with a tape measure first though.

quad CF, huh?

What would that be for?
