Angry Fire I want a titanium case!!

I thought of going for the most expensive Lian Li case I could find, but non-computer builders wouldn't know what a Lian Li is. They don't exactly have that “GET DOWN AND WORSHIP ME”, look that I am going for. Plus I need something a bit sturdier and sound cooler than "aluminum". I mean it is suppose to be more expensive and better than steel, but come on its ALUMINUM... It doesn’t exactly have that ring of elitism among the commoner’s ears.

PURE GOLD would just be too heavy.
DIAMONDS would be too feminine.

I WANT A TITANIUM CASE!!!

And if you think an aluminum case is expensive.... just think how much a titanium case would cost... the stuff isn't cheap and because it's so damn strong, it's harder to work with. A well designed aluminum case is not only strong, but looks good too.

The only company I know of who makes Ti cases is Apple for the 15" powerbook.

I'll bet it's plastic on the outside with a couple of titanium struts inside. The rest of the inside is probably plain steel. No way it's titanium throughout.

get the LianLi case, you will be glad that you did, then put a good enermax power supply in it, anything above 350 watts, then light it up with cold cathode lights, your friends will be jealious
