Hi can you recomend me a PC case for just a couple of hard drives. will be overclocking the CPU thou (E6600) so for me cooling is number 1 and looks is second.

my max buget is = £100

just a little unsure who makes the best cases

Akasa Eclipse 62
Lian-Li PC7+II

In either order.

I wouldn't have one of those. Eclipse 62, PC7(b)+ II but the Antec is a gimmicky product designed to lure in ignorant buyers with flashing lights, ipod trays and gigantic fans. That's my opinion, formed after seeing the case.

Yes, but it's polished aluminium, the Antec is a polished something else.

It's not just for iPods, you could use it for other things too. But it seems to be always described as a good place to keep your iPod.

Feature creep....

my pc has an ipod tray, it's called the top of the case.. nah i want an eclipse.. the only thing that i want to know is does it have drive rails? i have quite a lot of drives to fit...

-I-Am-Great- · 1 Nov 2006 at 19:41

i thought the name of this thread was about you only having a few drives lol

It is about that - someone recommended a case that wasn't really worthy so we're making sure he get's a balanced view about the importance of iPod holders vs. good cooling and quality construction.

-I-Am-Great- · 1 Nov 2006 at 19:51

lol fair enough like. well i say pc-7+...well basically because i have one i can't recommend anything different lol

ledbythereaper · 1 Nov 2006 at 19:57

doesn't have an ipod tray, he can't buy it

-I-Am-Great- · 1 Nov 2006 at 20:01

oh no, no ipod tray how will you survive? lol get a normal case a stick ipod to the side of it and it will be grand

ledbythereaper · 1 Nov 2006 at 20:10
