    How Many Cases Have You Had Over The Years?

    How many computer cases have you went through in the years of owning a computer.

    *Rattles brains*

    Started off with a very nasty ambra 386, not sure what the chassis was..., moved onto P200, again im not sure what the chassis was.... I then bought a Vasco Full Tower case which was awesome!!! Then a Lian Li PC60, Coolermaster 201, Coolermaster 201B, Coolermaster 201 Black Widow, Coolermaster 630, Coolermaster Centurian, Coolermaster WaveMaster, Chyang Fun CF-2029B, Lian Li PC37, Accent HTPC, Cheiftec BX..... The list is basically endless....

    14 cases

    How many have you had?

    On my main PC which I have had for around 8 years now, obviously not the same one I have had 6 cases in that time. All have been nasty cheep things apart from my current case which is a Chieftech Scorpio with a full side window.

    These are the cases that I have actually bought:

    1) Some Generic ATX case with 300W PSU
    2) V770 Pre-Modded Window Case (About to be sold)
    3) Genric £15 Ebuyer Job (for 2nd rig, now all sold)
    4) Antec Black Soho File Server Case with 400W Smart Power PSU (Current Case)

    I have had many other cases. A few of the Packard Bell desktop cases. I have one here at the moment infact.

    I have also bought a few other cases for when I have done builds for friends. Usually chepo Nokia cases.

    Random (quite well made) midi tower case for my first couple of PCs (400MHz or so), the case I have now given to a mate

    Cheap case from computer shop that lasted a while with my newer 1.2GHz and 2GHz machines, painted it and modded it slightly.

    Gave that to my dad and now I've got an Enermax premodded one which I love

    I'm on my third - I make them last! (They're all still in use - none quite the same as when I got them, lol.)

    Dont know what the cases were on my first 6 machines. I have had an acer case as well, came with the computer ( not my choice to get that by the way ). In the last couple of months i got a jnc when i had no cash for a decent case, then a premoded sunflower job, great cooling but it looked rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishe.

    When i managed to get the cash i got this

    How many have you had?



    Cheap case, Cheap case, Antec Plusview 1000AMG, CM Black Widow, PC-70.

    The final 2 were the best, the PC-70 is the easiest to work on and imo, the best buy
