Just picked up another LiteOn FS020 from ebay for $26.00 bucks.

I’ve been looking for another case to put a new system in but the stuff available out there just hasn’t turned my crank. Ya, I know, their uglier then sin but there’s Lots-O-Room in it, and 3 120mm fan mounts. :rock:

you weren't kidding, those are quite ugly.

i'll take my pretty case anyday over that.

although, i have just about maxed it out as far as room goes with 3 HDD's, floppy, fan controller, 2 Optical drives, and a temp monitor

good luck on the new case

Maybe I can cover it with yellow paint and put a black bolt on the side to make it look better :thumb: :p :p

I just got to figure out what to put inside the beast. :mischeif: :mischeif:

If I remember correctly, you painted your case like your plane?

Nice job, by the way. :yup: :yup:

Check post #2 over here (http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=177) for an idea on how big it is.

I see. Yes that is very roomy. Is that a thermometer I see sticking through the lower front? I almost grabbed your IMG link and posted it over here but I felt like it would violate some kind of HTML ethics...that's a good picture. I feel we should do away with my deceiving post.

That looks like a great case - 120mm fans and did you take the cross-bar out?

I just saw this case ThermalTake "Armor" XASER with BTX support (http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCase/armor/va8000bws/va8000bws.htm) and thought it had some potential for air, passive and water cooling.

Nice find Snafu :thumb: . Just when I thought I had my next case figured out :scratch:

:o I hope it's not too late

I think it is a very versatile case: air, passive or water, ATX or BTX. Very interesting.

Now if anyone wants to send one my way for a review I'll be more than happy to oblidge ;)

Nice job, by the way. :yup: :yup:

so you bought a case with nothing to put in it??? sounds like a reason to build another computer to me :lol: i don't think it will work in my situation though.

and yes my computer is painted like a plane i have flown, Piper Super Cub.

Wow nice find Snafu, I thought the CoolerMaster stacker was cool but this is even better I think.

Thanks BB. I think I am going to have to start looking for one up here - well at least see how many arms they want for one.

BTW it is the same size as my Xaser III (21" H x 22" D). A fair size but IMO not too big for my desk

Snafu, that case is awesome. I like how you can put 1, 2, or 3 120mm fans intake front. Whoa...
