The Perfect Case

[Tekime]

Ara-Loki I won't be using the upper-rear 3.5" bays, I'm thinking I can stick the radiator back there as you mentioned. Thanks for the input, so you have a similar (just older) model?

I should have mentioned this though... no Chieftec style cases! Unless there is some driving reason to, it's just not what I'm looking for style-wise. I know, they are good cases, I've used them, just not for me.

As far as the Lian-Li goes, I have very mixed feelings about Lian-Li. On one hand they look pretty sweet, are a reputable brand and are known to make quality cases. But on the other hand, sometimes I just see $70 worth of parts and $100 worth of name.

Budget is a concern too.

Not to say I wouldn't consider one, but maybe I should explain a few of the ideas I have for the case. For starters I want to paint it with a deep blue, silver, or possibly shell, metallic mirror finish. I would feel awful buying all that aluminum and just painting it. I also have one of those lightning balls which I want to somehow incorporate into the case. I will cut my own custom window as well. Also one idea I had, although I'm not sure how probable it would be, is to create a reservoir out of two clear cylinders, and have each one on either side of the front bezel.

Okay, so I have a few requirements, maybe that's why I can't seem to find one anywhere
