http://www.soldam.co.jp/windy/2200/detail.html. All aluminum with louvers on the side for the stock ducted CPU fan and PCI/vid card fan. Comes in different anodized colors, and the bottom front has a small door that folds down to reveal usb, headphone, mic, and joystick ports. I don't think it is available in the US, and I would guess that if it was then they would be crazy expensive ($500 and up). There are some option kits that include a dual 60 mm Al HDD cooler that goes in 2 5.25 bays, and there is a full tower version (the 3000).

Edit the period got caught up in the link

Too bad it's all in jibberish, heh. From the <a href="http://www.soldam.co.jp/windy/2200/img/2200.jpg" Target="_NEW">picture</a> I just saw, it looked nice. From the outside that is. If you go <a href="http://www.soldam.co.jp/windy/2200/opt1.html" Target="_NEW">here</a> and check out the first picture, it looks like it would take about a day to actually break into that thing!

That case is nice but I can't say enough about the Antec SX830/1030. They may be a little hard to find but well worth the search and the $80

Yeah I have the SX1030 and I am satisfied with it as well. Unless someone specifically requests another case then I build all the systems I do for people with the SX830 as well. But we are talking high end here; the SX series would need a bit of help to match the power of one of these bad boys hehe.

Heres one that IMHO is an awsome case :

Infact the UPS guy is droping mine off today

Rubber Duckie no doubt that case is awesome but it is very very expensive. I guess if you got it might has well spend it but I am on a budget so I will stick with my Antec

That's a really sweet case, Pie Eater. I wish it was sold over here in North America. As you know, I myself am in the market for a case, and that sure looks like a fine peice of engineering. Too bad it's so damn big.

Guess it's going to be either Lian Li pc60 or that aluminum mid tower that stiltner from the OCP is eventually going to build, after finishing the bigger version.

If you like the Lian Li then you should LOVE this one. It seems to be amazingly well built and designed. I believe the exchange rate would make it over $500 though :/

Guste: I think stiltner is making the full tower, the micro LAN ox, and THEN the mid tower. So it might be a longer wait than you want.

Yahoo... My Lian-Li PC-60 was dropped of 1 hour ago.
Didnt have time to inspect it closely but it is extremely light and sturdy. Cant wait to play with it tonight

BTW: if you go to Mwave and look in the cases manufacured by "MWAVE" they have a model number PC-60 priced at $170 with no PS. That is what I got...guess what it is? Its really a Lian-Li case. Infact the box came directly from Lian-Li. Just marked as a mwave brand case.

Really sweet and $170 is kinda expensive but not too bad for something I will keep for a long time. I am replacing my Iwin Q500A full tower, and I kept that case for over 2 years.

Ill trow up some pics when Im finished.

BTW... dont take my comments like Im putting down that case you posted. It looks like a freaking sweet case. Just wanted to 'show off' my new purchase

no not at all R_D. I also think that teh PC60 is a sweet case. $170 is a lot for a case, but not that much for an all aluminum case. Sounds like you got a deal. I was mostly just posting that Soldam case as geek pr0n; the attention to detail on it is incredible. Louvres for the fans, usb, sound, and game ports built in, availability of mods, and anodizing == drool.

I have been looking at the Lian Li PC mini 30 for building a computer for my entertainment system. I have been toying with the idea of a PC that is networked to my other comps and can play mp3s, <S>DIVX movies</S>, <S>VCDs</S>, and DVDs. That mini30 would look pretty sweet in the living room with cordless mouse and keyboard. Hard for me to drop the $$$ though...

Coolio

I got the case put together

BTW: I love this case. Everything you would ever want in a case this has it.
