Have I missed any towers?
 

I have checked out these cases, antec SX 835, Lite-On FS020, YYcase, Lian, AOpen H600A

The one I like most is the Lite-On FS020, but it's exspensive (since I need to order it from usa). Can you use it as your LAN case?

What is your impresion for this case, and for the rest?

Are there any other great cases I have missed?

I have the Liteon case and am using it myself. It is NOT a case to be moved around easily to a LAN party since its bulky and heavy:P On the good side, thats just a measure as to how solidly built it is. Its got textured powder coating so it isnt shoddily painted either. I installed wheels at the botton so it isnt a pain to move around the apartment. Airflow-wise and size wise its very nice. You have a lot of space inside to work and I like it very much as I was able to fit everything I wanted to inside. On the bad side its got a lot of sharp edges, and while the grills on sides enhance airflow, it gets dusty real quick inside. (Thinking about putting filters there).

Hope this helps. If you're going for mobility with solid build I highly recommend Lian li. If you want a case thats built like a truck with tons of working space inside go for Liteon or even an addtronics.

Try Chieftec Dragon DA-01 or the new Matrix (MA or MX). Big and cheap.

A.K.A.
Chenming 601, Antec SX1030, Enermax has a version too apparently.

Great case, I like your taste BB

All are made by Chenming, and with this many choices of the same case, a low price shouldn't be hard to find.

Any with 120mm mounts I can easily put a BIX on?
I was looking at the lite-on too, but I'd like to find one lighter, or even shorter, that would require any/very little modding to get a Bix, pump and air trap in.

The Antec 835 is too much for a lan case in my opinion...I just bought its little bro the 635...and god its heavy compared to my previous case(a generic case that Enlight and a few others charge $30 more for)...the 635 I have is gonna be used for a lan case, but its gonna break my back...so the 835 surely is even heavier(I believe 23 lbs)

Aren't it just a little bigger then most mid towers?

I've been looking a little on the Chieftec Miditower, does anybody have any pictures on where people placed their wattercooling gear?

When I get to it...i'm placing mine up at the front.

get an addtronics 6896.I have one, and it has a 120mm blowhole in the front.

Isn't that a rather large case? For a lan case, that would be a PITA to tote around.

Cheiftec. They're 1240 clone is amazing and dirt cheap.

Fits a 10*6 heatercore easily in the top. I need to smooth out those edges though :(

Here here!

I'm picking up mine tmo. 56$ + tax.

I've got my airtrap (upcoming article), and the next item will be a pump (yes, I'm building it backwards, cooling gear first!).

redleader, what model eheim pumps do you have down in the bottom of your case?

has anyone put a water rig in an AOpen H600A? i really like the look and build of the case, but i think it would be interesting to see how a WC setup would fit inside

redleader:
i have that exact same case, and i love it! i'm never going back to mid-tower! the amount of space compared to a mid tower is amazing!

1250 and although you can't see it, the pump sits on more then 2 inches of solid foam. No rattle here.

Hehe BB, look closer in my pic just below the hard disk bay. Seems I beat you a little with my clear PVC res (10pi inches cubed) .

jag_e_fattig: I know. This case is a godsend.

Nice, but I can barely see that airtrap.

Wait until you see mine: you'll understand why I picked that huge case!

I picked up my case Saturday. I also got a deal on a pump: Little Giant 2-MDQ-SC, for $40, brand new! It's also a little big, especially once I put the barbs and fittings on it...
