i want to get a new case, but i don't know what to get...
i want something small, sleak, clean.... something that looks like the apple g5, kinda.... something light, since i'll have watercooling and i'll be carrying it to lan parties.... i don't want to pay a ton, though.
i don't want anything gawdy, retarded, or "xtreme/sick/ill/tight/etc" (i.e. anything that looks like
this,
this,
this, or
this)
i'd like something with the window on the right side of the case, if possible.
something like this, except less expensive and no cooling kit included

The NZXT Lexa case is pretty nice...not a bad price.

I guess Iam an old cheapee I went for a $24.00 case. but when I get thru with it it will have all the bells and sirens it will ever need. I got it at the egg... I will change the power supply and cut out the side panel and mod it out to be my first mod box. Hope you find what your looking for.

Very nice case!!! You can easilly add watercooling
Looks like you can add 2x 120mm radiators without any modding

The LianLi cases are all very nice, though a touch expensive for my tastes.
Considered the new Gigabyte?

Comes in vented or windowed, silver or black varieties.

For use with water cooling, the Gigabyte is about the best choice out there right now without spending a ton of money.

i'm not a fan of it because:
a) it's got the window on the left side of the case... not the right.
b) it's gor a front door.

yeah, but it still opens on the left, it still has a front door, and it still looks like it's in its second trimester of pregnancy
I wouldn't pay the money for any of them.
