Do you prefer a case with LEDs/Window Panel or Normal?

^Topic

I choose Normal because LEDs with Window Panel make me hard to sleep at night when I leave the PC turned on.

I don't really care about LED's but a window panel is always cool to look at.darkplayer

I like Blue LEDS, but not as much as performance. I would rather have 2 side intake fans than a side window. Some do come as such, but I am fine with my RC690.

I like side windows because it's neat to see what you've made. =)

I have an Antec 900, outfitted it with another 120mm side fan with LED's and 2 12" blue cold cathode tubes. So it's pretty damn bright, but I can turn off the cathode tubes with a switch on the back of the case.

I hate those windowed "gaming cases."

I really like HTPC cases. I've got my Pentium M rig stuffed into one of those cool HTPC cases. My main machine is installed in an Antec P182. I'd never, ever use a windowed case, especially one with lights. Just too damn tacky.

yes sir the magic of electricity these days

I don't mind the window panel so much. It's the LED's that keep me up at night which pisses me off about most cases these days, since I pretty much need to run my computer 24/7/365. I'd much rather a normal looking case that remains unassuming, and/or use LED's that aren't blindingly bright when I'm **** trying to sleep.codezer0

The LEDs on the front of the Lian Li cases are crazy bright, but I bought some at Radio Shack for like $2 and replaced them. Now they are not nearly as bright (and you can choose color as well!)

If you can't sleep from your LEDs start sleeping with all the lights and your TV on like I do. Then you won't notice the LEDs.

In fact, if you live in a city enough ambient light comes through the window at night that you should barely notice the LEDs.

i prefer cases with side panels

cuz one time my mobo caught fire and i saw the flame taking out some mosfets and 1 capacitator if it wasnt for the side window i wouldnt of seen the flame and it could of killed my cpu psu vga ect

i dont trust non windowed cases anymore (er maybe i just dont trust myself :P :cry: )

oh and FYI vista booted while my mobo caught on fire it was cool :P

The main thing that matters is how much it costs. $100s for a case is a waste, a buget case works just about as good as a $200 oneimprezawrx500

Not even close. It was a painful experience going from the 3D Aurora to the RC690, and that's not even a huge step down.
