Help, need a new light case
Hello I am in the market for a new case. I am looking for a non flashy light and mobile case. I would also like to have side mounted HD for easy/fast removal. I currently have an Antec Super Lanboy and I like it because it is light and the HD is side mounted. But I am tired of the bright blue lights and want something not so flashy.
I have been looking around and a lot of causes weigh a ton. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks again! |

A quick search on Newegg for Aluminium (key for lightness) Mid Tower cases brought up this Thermaltake which seems to tick the boxes....not especially flashy and has a side-mount hard drive tray.

Thanks for the responses. I guess it is a real option to just replace the fans with non LED fans but the sharp corners that have nearly sliced me open everytime I open the case get old too. I guess I am just really going to have to think about it.

Well, your lucky. It happens in any case every once in a while. You just have to be careful.

Me neither. Ive built a few with cheap generic cases , and apart from sharp edges,ive found silly things like , having to cut around the graphics card aperture because i couldnt get connection on . Its always worth going for the quality cases.
