After the power switch on my old case went I have had to run it without the front panel, which is no real reason to change the case.
But I went to a British comp fair with a friend and saw this case for £39 inc a 350w psu!!! So I bought it on Impulse

I know it looks cheap and tacky but thats coz it is



its even got a nice window so you can see my sad pathetic PII 800 mhz and the lame MB that its on.

This is soon be replaced by a new shiny new MB with an Athlon xp2200 2ghz CPU for £160, and seeing as its only £40 for 500mg of DDR ram I may aswell get a gig
So its mainly a new PC for £280!!!!!!!!! Ok so I paid more than that for my geforce 3 when it came out but who cares I will be able to play UT2003 BF1942 with having to wait for the CPU to stop lagging me back. Whoooooo!!!

So from my POV they are blooming good.
Oh and another tacky thing about this case is this
