G'day,

Well I'm in the middle of ordering/making a custom computer, and I'm stuck on choosing a case.

I'm looking for a good looking one, one with a side panel and sexy lights, it should also be good quality and cool well.

Budget - $150 Australian, $100-110 USD

Cheers

PS: would prefer newegg links with you posts .
Yes ive searched, and read alot. Still havn't found what im lookin for .

Are you planning to win some lottery?

As for the case... Just take one where you can install two fans, one front, one rear and that fits your room best. I quite like plain ones, without much glass to look in, without blinky features - only a little of chrome, the rest of it black - that's what I like.

I got this for a friend of mine, but with a black pattern instead of this silverish thingy covering the front fan (can't get the word, too lazy for a dictionary) and a cover for the front hubs + power switch which makes it look very neat. It's also easy to install, but I fear that the Enermax Pandora will either come with this grey pattern to you, or it won't be available at all...
