    New Case

    I'm looking for a midi/full tower atx case with a side window and door and preferably a lcd temperature display on the front. I'd also prefer it to be silver/black. Does anyone know of any deals? I'm willing to spend £35 without a PSU.

    Thanks

    the centurion is horrible inside, but then again, for the money the guys are willing to pay they are not going to get anything particularly good...

    Can you point me in the right direction for a suitable case then - for the best possible price

    After owning 11 you must know some places

    well....

    kustom are a very good place to go. you need to be in the trade though to deal with bosse who are a main uk importer for lian li.

    to be honest it is a matter of shopping around. I have had some good deals on ex review kit, some shabby secondhand lians as well as buying new.

    ebuyer had a pc7 for 50 quid just before xmas! they went very quickly...

    I would disagree. The screwless design makes for easier installation and removal of 3.5 and 5.25 bay components.

    Is it has the mesh outer casing that my Centurion 5 has, it is certainly not horrible, and in fact well designed.

    each to their own....

    i thought about windowing a centurion but the innards were so ugly that it would have meant adding plating to cover up all the drive bay metalwork. if you are looking at a pc that needs a case to shove stuff in the the centurion is fine but from a modding point of view it really doesn't look good internally.
