I'm planning my next system to be something tiny so I'll get either the ncase m1 or sliger Cerberus. this build is gonna be an expensive pain in the rear end and I realistically don't need it but gently caress IT

i'm planning to get a lian li pc-tu100 op, foreseeing moving it on a weekly basis (but needing a bit more performance than is convenient in laptop form). seems good.

ideally they should be beige with the colorful apple logo

echi get one with damping in the panels to make it super quiet

i have a define R6 and in addition to being v. quiet, it has a clever anti-theft measure because it's heavy as gently caress thanks to the stuff they put in the panels

it was a good case to work with as well, and the filters seem to work because there's zero dust in it so far

yeah I have a similar nzxt case and it's pretty good

I realized that if you want a case with good cable management those with glass panels tend to be good choices because they are designed to make the internals look tidy

After looking at how terrible most PC cases on the market are designed today the mac pro cheesegrater doesn't look too bad.

I have an older define mini for the PC in my office that I never use anymore. It's good, but I wish there was a latch or something for taking the side panel off. Also, the front panel detaches too easily if something bumps into it.

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
a latching system for the side panels would be way nicer, but I guess they figured you wont actually be taking the sides off that often.

I had problems with the front piece being loose on an older fractal case but its been fine on this one.

cant go wrong with fractal but the one with the giant mesh on the front collects a heinous amount of dust

Lianli's the name. Lylie Lianli. And I gotta say there's nothing on earth like a super-sized, anodized, aluminized, six-bay monolith

What'd I say?
Monolith
What's it called?
Monolith
That's right! Monolith
Monolith
Monolith
Monolith

I hear those things are awfully loud
Just wrap each piece in rubber shrouds

Are there some knobs for fan controllin'?
You'll overclock it like it's stolen

Can you install some cathode lights?
For sure! Enjoy your sleepless nights!

A pricey slide-out mobo tray?
A feature you'll use every day!

Are these performance gains just fables?
No! Take these rounded ribbon cables!

The sharpened metal sliced my hand
Just smear it there, they'll understand

This giant brick's your only choice
Throw up your hands and raise your voice

Monolith
What's it called?
Monolith
Once again
Monolith

My In-Win isn't even broken!
Sorry nerd, the [H]erd has spoken

Monolith
Monolith
Monolith!
