[...] I took that advice 1st time round, and it was horrible, horrible advice.
Indeed. When you're spending like £600+ on a PC, its not unreasonable to spend like ~£80 on a case. I swear by the higher end Antec stuff, Coolermaster are pretty awesome. Lian Li cases may look nice in photos and be built with quality materials, but general polish and finish on them is actually pretty tacky.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15440&post=271332 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 01:30:58 +0100 Reply by Animal https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15440/page-2/?recent=271338#post=271320 Quoted from WARHURYEAH
The case I'm questioning, I will look around for reviews on the case that I am getting, but for now I'm getting it as it's cheap and comes with a PSU.
any case that comes with psu comes with nobrand psu's... so if u find a case ur looking for even if it has psu, throw it out or sell it, just dont plan on using it... also 500w nobrand psu = 400w branded (corsair, gigabyte, etc) so think again, if they rly cost "that" much]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15440&post=271320 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 00:13:50 +0100 Reply by CoolerPL https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15440/page-2/?recent=271338#post=271319 Quoted from kaidus
