Sounds great mate....fancy doing some guides on building/wiring the lights and fan stuff for BE? Or even a start-to-finish guide on building your monster? We're always looking for new and updated guides for our members!:-)

Hellraiser
Hey all how is everything. On to the meat of my post, me and a friend are going to be building his Comp. we are currently shopping for a case with a large acrylic window in order for us to etch some writing and a pic of pinhead from hellraiser (he is a fanatic!!).
We are currently looking at chieftec cases full tower or server, any suggestions? Currently we are eyeballing the dragon server tower I think and possibly an allied 400w PS.
The chieftech is a good choice, the only thing I don’t like is the handle for the side panel.
They are easy to find and don’t cost that much.
The only other ones I would suggest looking into would be Cooler Master or Lian-Li
Is the something you don't like mechanical, or aesthetic? I like the designs somewhat but then the case is most likely going to be chopped, however if the side panel handle is going to fall off or break this will cost me more money.Originally posted by RotorHead

Oh and thank you for the heads up Rotor.
Cabinny_san, I have been using Chieftec cases for a few years now from the Aero, Dragon, Matrix and a few others in various incarnations (Tt Xaser, Antec) and have never had a single complaint or issue. A good choice overall. The aluminum Dragon series is especially nice. Or course, this is my opinion, YMMV.

I think it's more aesthetic for me. More of a personal thing.Originally posted by Cabinny_san

Having said that, I have seen a lot of killer mods done with the Chieftech cases. Like compudog said, it is a nice case with very few complaints.
Oh, and welcome to the BleedinEdge
Chieftec
Thanks Rotorhead,
My friend went with a clear acrylic case, so I think when I finally get enough money to get all the parts for my first pc build I will go with Chieftec. I do like the designs and they seem sturdy, I want to do a nice mod of the case so the sturdier the better.
hehe here's mine
