I was looking around on NewEgg and I found a new case made by ASUS. Pretty sweet looking case if you ask me. I'm actually thinking about buying it to replace my X-Dreamer POS. Check it out and let me know what you think:

Meh I don't like the styling. But that's me... I prefer the Lian Li look myself. :)

The Lian-Lis are neat but the only ones that look half way descent are very expensive. I would never pay over $150 for a case though.

IMO, it looks like an Alienware case. It is (about) 95% the same looking. I bet with some modding it could look like an alienware case. Not that that is terribly bad. I like the curve. And the door. I wish my case had a door, but you can't get a door with a 40$ case.

It has no window, either. I like looking at the stuff, so i'd cut in a window right away. I'd buy it, if i had the money. *opens wallet and stares at the emptiness*

My Lian Li PC62 is an excellent case. My only complaints are that it has a tendency to rattle/buzz sometimes. Or at least it did when I had my SCSI RAID array in there w/active cooling. Doesn't do that now that I have all my fans turned down and a single SATA drive. The styling of the LL is pretty conservative. My Tsunami looks better but is inferior as far as functionality goes IMO.

Well, I've been looking around at some different cases plus reviews for them and I haven't found a real nice case for under $150. All of the Lian Li's are ok but they are expensive for the nice ones. I want a screwless case with some nice cooling features. I'm not going to be running any type of watercooling stuff; all air. I'm still debating on whether or not getting the ASUS case would be a good idea. The only thing I don't like about the case is that it would be nice if it had a removeable Mobo tray like the Cooler Master Wave Cases.

yuck. i am all about the case being low key, but the insides expressing a person's personality

Heh, I think that's a really neat looking case. I like my Antec P160WF for now, though. I might look into the Asus line for my next upgrade, though. :D

I think it is pretty cool looking, but I too would like to see inside of it. If it only had a window, at least. Even if I had the money for it, I think I'd pass on it just because of that.

My Lian-Li PC-71 just arrived today, it's as enormous and nice as all the reviews have always claimed. I'll be using it for my upcoming watercooling review/article on the new PolarFLO TT Series waterblocks.

It looks like a crappy dell case insides with a shell over it.

I like that case for it's somewhat original design. As was said, it kinda resembles an alienware case, but it has more shape and functionality to it.

I was thinking about going with something like http://www.cubedpc.com for my next case (not that exact case, but the basic idea). I'm more into cubes and smaller cases. It's just no fun for me unless I have to strategically place everything to fit it in the case, hehe.
