I myself am building a new computer and am gonna get the A-Top X-Blade Black version. I currently have the first version of it and its looks good, however I do feel it could have been build better. For example my ati 9800 pro graphics card has to be pulled out a little bit from the agp slot so that i can connect my monitor to it. Another words, they could have lefft more space at the back for inserting monitors etc. :mad:

However my mate has the older version of the X-Blade and he had no problems. When it comes down to it, it about your personal taste as both cases are made by the same company and they both look like good models. I prefer the X-Blade but they both look cool:)

My god no they are both so horrible. Get something with a bit of class. Any case for 27 euro is going to be a plasticky pos. The Antec 80 euro case w/ powersupply on komplett would be sometihng decent.

Are you going to go to LANs?

If yes then you want a flashy case perhaps but avoid those two and look for something of a better build - those platicy ones prob wont last the mobility.

If no, then you should find a case thats practical and useful with good build and good features. Case fans, drive bays, over all room inside, rails, quick release systems, inbuilt USB/Firewire/Headphones/Mic

Try not to worry about LEDs and what windows, and other pointless aestetics. Pay for the build not for the looks. Let your 3Dmark06 scores and whatnot impress people.

(You should be spending abotu 100 quid tbh too.)

I suppose I dont need a really good lookin case. So take a look at this case

looks very strong.

Not really bothered about how boring it looks, as long as its a good case.
