5 cases - 2 in use

pantherx12 · Dec 7, 2009

I think the Zalman looks awesome :laugh:

Also like the stacker

Whisper I would buy out of those cases myself though, I would love to have a really OTT system yet in a nice sound dampened case

The whisper isn't sold at any of the retailers I go to!! I am in Ireland so American sites are no good for me!

I'll look around for some UK sites that won't rape you for shipping :toast:

Cheers dude, overclockers.co.uk I normally go to or Komplett.ie

pantherx12 · Dec 7, 2009

I wouldn't recommend overclockers, if something you'd bought buggered up you'd have a hard time getting them to RMA it.

Useless shop :laugh:

For now check out

caseking.de its in German but I think they'll deliver to you.

Not sure if they do cases but check out aquatuning.co.uk they ship everywhere.

If you can buy it, Obsidian hands down.

I find them to be excellent to be honest! Decent prcies and EXTREMELY fast delivery considering they are sending them to Ireland.

Never had to send anything back!

I was going to suggest the PC-K62, but can't find it anywhere on UK sites

Thats not bad! Can't seem to find it though from my usual retailers! I am in Ireland so newegg is a bad egg for me!

the PC-7FNB is the updated version of the PC-7FW
out of stock @ oc.uk

pantherx12 · Dec 7, 2009

Do ebuyer ship to ROI ?

Fitseries3 · Dec 7, 2009

does it have to be a BIG case?

Batou1986 · Dec 7, 2009

i think the antec p18X series is quite nice looking the newer ones are even better as ive had my p180 for a while now and love it
Its built well ive stood on it and it didn't even flex and the best part is theirs no flashy lights on the front unless you open the cover.
Not to mention its quiet as hell i cant even hear my raptor seek and virtually dust free thanks to the filters

P183

I don't think so, he has a mid tower in his initial list and didn't mention anything about the stacker I suggested.

Fitseries3 · Dec 7, 2009

try looking at caseking.de if you havent already. thats where TPU gets most of its cases for reviews. they are stellar with customer service and ship pretty quickly from what i hear.

i'd say go with a lian li since i fancy them myself. lian li or silverstone, they are both elegant aluminum cases that are HIGH quality built designs. HIGHLY recommended.

pantherx12 · Dec 7, 2009

Already recommended them fit, to slow

+ 1 to Silverstone cases, I love them but can't afford them.

Fitseries3 · Dec 7, 2009

just goes to show how good they are if more than one person suggested it.

Here it is, home-skillet.....

I have this case and I LOVE it. Great cable management, cool temps, not too loud for the amount of fans in it.

See review here.

Have a look for the Raven RV01. I have it and it's the sexiest case imo.
