It it literally just a block box with some silver bits on it.
Also some of the front panels have been removed (Not purposefully though)

ha! same as mine but smaller, I leave the freaking thumb screws out on the filters and just pull them out when I need to clean them.

I like to keep is simple:


No LEDs or flashing lights, but it's got plenty of space and the fans are silent. I can leave it on 24-7 without noticing a sound.

I have the same headset, I actually really like it. The microphone is suspiciously good as well.
Yeah I really love them, best sound I've ever heard in a headset personally. Are you running a sound card?

I don't think the high quality mic is that suspicious, these things are like $250 regular price lol.

EDIT: We have the same case as well - Antec 900 II
Yeah, I have an older creative x-fi. I want a new motherboard with a third PCI Express slot so I could get an asus xonar which has a built in pre-amp. This should drive the cans a bit better, but they do sound really good.

IMO most headsets and headphones just have WAY too high a bass response. Sennheiser seems to understand in most of their headphones and ear buds that "good bass" isn't necessarily "more bass".

Sorry, but I don't like a lot of the cases in this thread as they look a bit tacky... especially with the cheap plastic, noisy fans and blazing LEDs. No offence intended, just my opinion.

Err, because they're better in every aspect bar portability?

Point of View Alulite.

Not sure if the 250mm fan is good or bad for airflow but it looks pretty cool when it's lit up in blue. It takes up a lot of space inside the case though which is a little annoying.

The filters are much less of a pain to clean than using compressed air throughout the entire case. I've only had my case cleaned using a compressed air machine once so far and it's clean as hell. Filters every month and a half at most.

For myself the reason the filters are so difficult is because I have a LOT of wiring I put behind the motherboard tray. The right side panel (you need to take off both to get at the filters, as far as I remember) is like a case of spring snakes when I open it and wires pop out everywhere.

So it's not so much, for myself, that cleaning the filters is hard; it's putting that damn right side panel back on :p

Still... never buy Alienware.
But they're soooo pretty! D:
I basically have the fake version of that, all the usb slots are at the bottom, there is no silver on the bottom and of course no alienware heads and LED's.

Other than that, it is exactly the same but all handpicked parts in it.

Mine-

It may not be the prettiest, but for function it cannot be beat. It is a system builders dream becuase it is so versatile. Due to it being modular you can have the PSU at the top or bottom. The HDD's mounted anywhere top to bottom via a silent suspension system. I have 3 120 mm fans on the front instead of the two shown. The system can fit 15 fans. I have modified it further so it is not very hard for any dust to get inside. This is a case who want to modified their case after purchase rather than just using it in the way it comes off the shelf

This one's mine

Decent airflow, can take quite a beating, and the carrying handle is incredibly useful. Few years old now, all the components just get switched out inside the case.

Well it looks like a plain old metal box, only interesting stuff is what I did extra:
- all wires that can be are run through the back panel are
- extended hard drive rack so all drives can be suspended on surgical tubing (the noise difference is amazing)
- bottom of HDD rack cut out for a perfectly placed intake fan, plus filters and all that
- both CPU and GPU fans replaced for bigger ones that can run slower/quieter with the same effect
- all fan bolts replaced with custom made silicone bushings, removes residual vibration noise
- and I have a fan/temperature/power usage control thingy (not sure what you call those), made that modular so the control panel can be taken out of the case and put anywhere close to hand

Also had a case with water cooling, then lent that PC to my sis as a backup... took her whole two weeks before it all went to hell.

My case, I got it on sale on Cyber Monday a few years ago. It's a monster of a case but I doubt I'll have to buy a new one until they next decide on a new form factor.

That looks like my friend's home-made PC... except on his, the side you have open is closed, and the other side of his is see-through. Same blue lighting though...

OT:

...this.

Fractal Design arc midi. Minimalistic, decent airflow and plenty of space.

Would very much like a Silvestone ft03. Those things look epic.
