Getting tired of my case.

That's why I love this forum, all of the users are friendly and there is absolutely no hostility whatsoever .

Yes I would need an aluminum case.
I want a full tower and when all is said and done it could only weigh 35 LBS or less.

So what is out there that is not ugly or plain Jane looking, functional and offers good stock cooling?

[slugbug]

How about an NZXT Switch 810?

[Manduh]

How about a Zalman GS1200? It's about 27lbs (12.4kg) It looks to have good cooling features, as well as the option for water cooling if you wanted to go that route.
http://ncix.com/products/?sku=58703 It only leaves about 8lbs for the rest of your parts though if 35lbs is the max once everything is installed.

Or the Thermaltake Armor Revo (25 lbs) The snow edition received the HTL Editor's Choice Award

Have you looked at the Lian Li PC-Z70

As much as I happen to like that choice (a lot), BD isn't a Lian Li fan.

And how would you see the disco ball in that case?

Personally, I think BD should be forced to use the Enermax 3175-BL for a year as penance for his sins.

Work on one and you will become a fan very quickly. The parts all fit together without a hitch, I love them.

WEll the two that you suggested Manduh are both at the point that by the time I put my stuff in them they will weigh almost 45LBS.

So they won't work.

The Lian Li is ugly. Sorry Bob.

Good suggestions so far. Keep em coming.
Thanks for the help.
By the way I have owned Lian Li cases in the past, good quality but ugly as sin. they all look like server cases.

Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 ? Its one of the lighter cases ive seen.

And just as a suggestion if you want a VERY light case, the antec lanboy air (its a mid tower case) is pretty light and it has handles on the top to help carry it.

With almost 15-20lbs of parts I guess you are looking at only 15-20lbs for a full tower case?

Also how far back are you willing to go for a case's release date, 1-2yrs, 3-5yrs etc?
And what's the price point you are looking at?

Do you like Apevia? Their X-Telstar aluminum cases are 18lbs.. Their other available aluminum cases are about 20lbs or under.
