Case???

Hey guys. I'm sick and tired of looking at the same beige midtower with 0 good looks to it, so I'm looking for a new case. I don't really want to spend more than 75 dollars. If you guys could help me pick one out, that would be great. Thanks.

75 bucks won't get you a really neat looking case - have you considered modding the old one?

No way

There is no way that I could mod this thing to make it look anywhere near decent. I would do better leaving it alone. I looked at newegg and I could get a Chieftec dragon with side window (no PSU) + shipping for 75 bucks. What do you guys think about that. Do you guys have any idea how to mod that case. I also do not want to change drives, but my drives are white. Should I paint them or do I really have to get drives that match that case? Thanks you guys..

That's a good case. Same as the Antec, but without as many accessories. You can use a vinyl dye on the drive bezels to get a color that matches / looks good with the new case.

Vinyl Dye how-to

Hey you might consider looking at virtual-hideout.net they have a listing of over 50 different sites most sell cases and if you do head over to the case-mod link they have a bunch of cases that look good under $70
