    fussy scotsman after a new case for xmas

    from one fussy scotsman to another :)

    Lian Li do the PCV-1000, big chunky ally thing, dunno about BTX compatibility but i personally can't see that taking off anyway, or Gigabyte, the mobo and gfx card company just released a nice metal case with a window. Window is an optional extra on the Lian Li case

    if you have to have a window but the case you want doesn't have one or there's no optional one then www.kustompcs.co.uk will cut one for you, I'm just about to send the panel off my Coolermaster Wavemaster to get a nice custom window fitted Nice Scottish company as well

    EDIT:

    This is the Gigabyte case, looks like it will take your SLI stuff OK

    And this is the Lian Li (quite fancy one myself )

    I just found this interesting looking one on the same site, not yet in stock tho:

    I actually bought my aurora after seeing it reviewed on hexus, went from a chieftec dragon to the aurora, had it 4 or 5 months now, outstanding case.
