I use that for internet and what not. Left of monitor is my ubuntu test machine. Both hooked up to KVM switch.

Close up of the customs!

I know the left case :p, It's a MS- Tech LC- 402 :p
correct me if i'm wrong :p

Do you honestly play with things setup like that? That would drive me nuts to have th keyboard and mouse angled almost 90 from the monitor!

The new black apevia tower is a stock cooled core i7-860, and the grey chieftech dragon is just an empty shell. I wanted a smaller case that I could transport easier, but I am tempted to go back to the chieftech because it is an awesome case.

They have amazing sound, especially with a digital input, but the on/off & volume control no longer work. I did get them for $10 though.

Never posted here before. Just posting because...I can I guess.

Hope to get some speakers in about 6 - 8 months. Oh and get a semi decent chair one of these days.

Edit: @Kakarottt Nice rig. You have the same Akasa (same as Superflower) fan controller as my wife's cept you seemed to have modded the display to show your rig specs. Pretty cool.

what case is that zenshi? looks very similar to a cheapo i had a few years ago. i had plans to etch the acrylic front but i ended up giving it to someone.

Zenshi · 03-13-2010, 12:16 AM

Its a cheapo Rosewill TU 155. I really like this case and have no plan on switching this case in the future. I do need to start modding it again but this will not be for awhile. I need to get speakers first.

SacredTbag · 03-13-2010, 12:42 PM

ah thanks. it looks damn close to the one i had (i couldn't begin to tell you what brand it was). i might see about getting one of those for a future project.

Zenshi · 03-13-2010, 07:11 PM

If I was to get a case, I probably wouldn't get the TU 155 now. The price is much higher now and there is one big minus of the case which is low airflow. It only has a 92mm fan at the back and can only fit two 80mm fans up front. I modded a blowhole and one side fan but considering there are some really good airflow cases these days, I may consider something else.

Still it is quite nice looking and it is built very solid. For me its just fine.

SacredTbag · 03-13-2010, 08:40 PM

i noticed the price of the case on the egg. my cheapo was $30ish, that one is $45-$65 depending on psu or not, or the version II of the case.

i've always liked working on cases like that though. you get to be a bit more creative with them, and they're cheap enough that you don't shoot yourself if you jack it up :-)

Zenshi · 03-14-2010, 12:35 AM

Absolutely agree. There is still a lot of things I want to do with this case, when I have the time to focus on it.

The thing I like about the case is that it does not look like some of the more generic cases that looks like something out of an old Gateway or Emachines. Nor does it look like another Coolermaster Centurion or Antec 900 clone. Nor does it have a completely boring box look to it. Its just a bit different from other cases that people ask what it is all the time. Once I add the case handles, a few other things, and paint the case, it will look much better.

But that is much later unfortunately.

I will be doing small things this summer (possibly handles and some more holes on the case interior) though. It will be a slow mod for me.

SacredTbag · 03-14-2010, 12:18 PM

i hear ya. i bought my current lian li a couple years ago, yet i've only done a few things to it. some of its mods have gaps a year or more in between them.

Kyle · 08-04-2010, 10:11 AM
