I think the silver looks nice, but the blue seems to have more to it

Thanks

silver looks better IMO

**Lexeus** · 28-07-2003, 03:55 PM

i thought that at first too, but more you look, i mean, the silver is shiny because they have stuck a flood light in front of it

, but sat next ot my desk, hmm, im starting to think the blue will look nicer, not sure, i really want one of those lime green, chieftecs, but Scan dont sell them, and the silver chieftec they sell only comes with a PSU, and i already got a 400W PSU :/

mmm i think the blue looks a bit tacky though.

you coudl always get a floodlight to simulate there effetc

lol

**Lexeus** · 28-07-2003, 04:06 PM

another thing though, im getting the NF7-S, and thats red/orange, would look better with the Blue !

**Basher** · 28-07-2003, 04:10 PM

mmm if i were you though id save up to get a nice coolermaster mmmmmm sexeh alu mmmmm

**XTR** · 28-07-2003, 04:10 PM

why not go for a cooler master centurion! £40 ish

**Lexeus** · 28-07-2003, 04:39 PM

I have ordered my stff now, so no more suggestions !

I would have got a cheaper coolermaster XTR, but scan have a limited range on the cheaper side, and i didnt want to pay another £10 P&P.

Could anyone reading this do me a quick favour though, go to www.scan.co.uk and look under the products and memory section, can you see any Corsair Value select memory ? I just placed an order with them for 2 sticks of 256 of it, and i swearit was their 5 mins ago, but it has now disappeared, i have an awful feeling im gonna get an email saying they are out of stock.

Appreciate anyone checking for me, maybe just me and my poor eyesite from staring at this CRT all day

thanks

oh, and i forgot to say, i went for the silver in the end

, looks like I will be having floodlights afterall

**Lexeus** · 28-07-2003, 04:41 PM

oh lol, i found it now, it was just hiding

. Looks like they have just shifted into a Corsair shop section

**Trash Man** · 28-07-2003, 04:55 PM

Out of the 2 case's above I would go with the silver one.

So what is it made out of? It doesn't say anything under 'Material'...

Yeah, I saw the 'metal' thing... but hey, it can anything from lead to platinum to cast iron... or even frozen mercury...
