I have a XION XON-II in blue LED. It's good enough, but I will never buy a case with a door again. If you can see in my sig, the door that says "XION" got accidently kicked off my rig.
BTW, I like this thread. It's a nice break (so far) from the graphics and proc wars out there in the hardware forums.
BTW(2) Heretic: I know those cases so well, my school bought like 300 of them. =D
I don't like gaudy cases, so I went with the Lian Li PC-60BPlus. Looks very sleek with my black DVD burner and floppy drive, though I wish they'd not put those annoying bright as hell LED's on everything nowadays.
I've got the Gigabyte 3D Aurora case (black w/ side window instead of mesh), and I'm relatively happy with it. I do love the way it looks, and without all those illuminated fans in there it looks a lot better, in my opinion. To be honest though, I probably wouldn't buy another one for myself - I'm starting to not like case doors much, and while the 3D Aurora is far from flimsy, something even sturdier would be nice.
I got a Cheiftec Dragon Full Tower, best case I've ever had. Image is from a midi, so it looks rather tiny on that picture.BounceDK
You actually like that thing? My old Socket A rig is still in one of those (mine is blue and has a case window). Can't say I cared for it much though - it wasn't horrible, but it did leave a bit to be desired in many areas - namely that it used only 80mm fans for cooling, and cleaning out those ridges was quite a pain.
I'm assuming you were replying to me, frost. If you look right under the power and reset buttons, there's two LED's - one for the HD (bright as the sun red) and one for power (bright as a laser in your eye blue). You don't notice them in the pics because it's obviously not hooked up.
Ahh. Yeah, when I built my rig, i was trying to get lots of Blue LEDs to match. I wish I hadn't, cuz know when I turn off the lights, my LED's light up the room and blue and disconcerting when I'm trying to watch a movie. XD Yeah, anything that has a light is blue. Blue speaker light, monitor logo, mouse, case fans, video card HSF.
It has room for a 120mm too, just above the psu.BounceDK
Must have come along in a newer revision - I did buy mine back in '02. Looks like they have a fan in the window now as well, if that picture on the Chieftec site is at all accurate. Still, aside from the little things it was a decent enough case. Too much plastic for my current taste, but back then I was very fond of it.
Thermaltake Tsunami Dream. Black with side window. Simple, low profile mid-tower small enough to fit in my desk setup. It's also still roomy enough that I believe I can fit in those 11" monster video cards if I remove the drive mounts if I really wanted to. http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Chassis/midtower/tsunami/bwa/bwa.asp

Yep there's room for 2 8mm fans in the side. The plastic also help as noise reduction from the fans so it's all good.
