    Read a few reviews of said case from around the net mate. All the ones I have read comment on it being a great looking, as well as a great performing case.

    Yeh i had a good read around and i wanted something that was going to cool exceptionally well whilst being cheap. I finally ordered the Antec super LANBoy which has 2 x 120mm fans as a standard along with rubber gromits on them to stop vibrations. It's also a decent size (not too big) and has a window (so i can play with funky lighting). Another bonus is that it has a door to cover up the drive bay as i think it's horrid seeing the drives for some reason.

    £53 + £22 shipping (euro 48 parcelforce due to large product) so costing £75 for me since i don't pay VAT

    I think it's probably just me being me and not liking that mirror finish edging then.

    -ok was going to post saying you could get it cheaper but thought what you said was strange so looked and saw u are in Guernsey then i did some research to find out more and found that Guernsey is part of the channel islands then i found that Guernsey and the other Channel Islands represent the last remnants of the medieval Dukedom of Normandy but then i found that your classed as over seas and so pay more postage then i deleted the you paid too much and wrote this informative yet pointless post

    looks like a nice case youve gone for tho

    Try to stump up a little more dosh and get a CoolerMaster Wavemaster. Got myself a black one, and it truly blows all other cases out of the water. Forget about the Thermaltake Tsunami case, its just a cheap imitation, I've had both in front of me for close scrutiny, and the Tsunami doesn't even come close to the Wavemaster.

    I have a FSP PSU and 3 x standard CoolerMaster 80mm fans, and a Leadtek FX5900Ultra in mine, all of which does not exactly run very quite, but within the case, the system can hardly be heard.

    The build quality is truly amazing, probably second only to the pricey Silverstone cases.

    If you want a nice big case to hold loads of equipment then i can recommend the full tower chieftec matrix cases. They look very nice and come at the usual high chieftec standard. The best thing is that Ebuyer mistakenly sell them for £29 rather than £80 as they have mixed up the prices for mid-tower and full-tower. Have been this way for 3 months!

    SEE here:

    http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...subcat_uid=588


    Any of the Chieftec Matrix 'MA' series are full tower. Check the reviews!

    These things come with space for 2 psus, 6 x 5.25, 2 x 3.5 and 6 HD bays ( removable caddys).

    Have a look at this review to see what the full tower looks like.

    jope this helps

    I was going to say, the tsunami just looks like a cheap immitation of the CM wavemaster, which itself only pretends to be of the same pedigree as the old skool CM cases.

    Myself, I have a Chieftec Scorpio (same as dragon w/minor cosmetic diff on front panel), which is in the process of being chopped up in the name of cooling and noise
