Looking for a new case....
DogSoldier
The heart of radical Amish country..
I broke the door on my Antec TX1050B, actually three times. When I first got it, again after I replaced the front bezel and again after repairing it with crazy glue. It's a flimsy plastic dual hinge now beyond repair, but anyways... I need a replacement case and am looking for recommendations. 3 cases have caught my eye, the Silverstone Temjin TJ10, NZXT Zero ATX and the Coolermaster Cosmos Full Tower. Anyone have any experience with these cases?
I also have a Vantec Nexus fan controller protruding from a floppy bay. It does a good job at micromanaging air-flow, but I need a door to minimize the insane blue glow. Most other components in my sig.

But I appreciate the input!
Biggest downside? It's expensive - and doesn't include a PSU.
Good point. I hate "ricer lights" all over my PCs, so I do my best to remove them. The 3D Aurora has a very annoying logo projection on the front (it literally projects the logo onto the desk), and lights the blue bar on front. I've disconnected that LED, so it's a lot less stupid now. The fans still have LEDs in them, but it's very subtle. The only annoying part is the blue HDD cycle LED. It's super bright. I'm working on a solution to lessen the light coming from it.

If I hadn't just purchased a new case (Cooler Master Stacker 830 as part of a used system) I'd be all over this LianRocketLiFish.
wow way to destroy a nice case by cutting that that hole on the side. those are a great value though
I think the Lian Li-branded version of the nearly the same case is the PC-A10B.
it doesn't come with that hole. that guy put it there.
Pics or it never happened!
On a second look, no, it's not that case. It's larger. I haven't found the equivalent Lian Li.
If anyone wants one, you need to act fast. These are disappearing every location.
Alright, I've not built a computer into it yet, so these are just early first impressions, good, neutral, and bad - for what it's worth.
Fit & Finish - very nice, anodized (not painted), black aluminum; no sharp edges; lovely craftsmanship on interior components
Quality & Construction: overall, very good; aluminum panels not as rigid as I think they should be, they seem a little flimsy, but perhaps that's an intentional trade-off for weight -- I've owned several aluminum cases, it's remarkable how light this huge case is
Features -- very nice dual ball bearing 120mm fans, don't think they're powerful enough for cooling an overclocked quad system; video card 120mm cooling module - I don't see that it will accomplish much - it's rather anemic, I won't even use it; it needs a removable motherboard tray. A computer case in this class without one? I don't think the frame is strong enough to support a removable tray.
Modifications coming up: remove video card cooling fan/duct unit; install window in side panel, remove one of hard drive cages, replace all the 120mm fans with higher CFM models, remove unnecessary interior fan guards
Coolermaster - OK what does that have to do with RocketLianFishLi? Comparing two full tower all aluminum cases. Overall, I think my Cooler Master CM Stacker 830 is a better design, better construction, and higher grade of aluminum, and more functional. This is definitely not a complaint about the RocketLi. For the clearance price, it was a tremendous value. I could not see though, paying more than $150 for it.
I'll comment later after I build/transfer the computer.
Proof of the pudding is in the eating. Take a bite, here.
