The ASUS P45 Owner's Club

At least me and tigger see sense.

My point was that you posted a pic of a Lian-Li where someone had spent time to make ti look good, againts the scout which is evident no-one has even tried to make it look neat.

 

[aCid888*]

The simple fact is, you have to work to make the Scout look nice....the picture of the Lian Li I would guess took about 10 minutes worth of effort....I'd like to see a Scout look the same with that much time.

Either way, it ain't much about the cable management, though that does play a huge roll; its about the quality....if you want something made of cheap, ugly pressed steel from China with bits of old Nissan dashboard glued all over it in the shape of "Gamer 1337 Plastic" then the A3/A900/Scout and most other cheaper cases out there are for you.

But, if your like me and you love quality and value it over anything else then the Lian Li is for you...no plastic, no pressed steel...these cases just scream "BUY ME I'M SEXY!!!!".

 

[alexp999]

I know it all personal preference and i respect that. I'm not going to start slating the Lian_li, I just wanted it made clear that those pics arent a fair comparison

 

[MoonPig]

lol, the P45 club is now the Case club...

100 pages

I think i'll lighten the mood with my pictures. Give me a mo

Your cable management does the Scout justice, but it took you a fair amount of time and the case is still the same on the outside....personally, I'm just bored of the damn cheap cases that charge you a premium because they say "Gamer" someone on them or they have too many blue LED's.

I guess I'd just sooner take a Bentley over a Skyline with a 7" ricer fart cannon on the back.

You know what, that's the perfect analogy here, not as high performing but it looks better while doing it.

Do you have any idea what warrants the price on some of these cases. You can clearly see where the money has gone, my SNIPER easily feels double the quality of the CM690.

I dont want alex or acid falling out with me over my case choice

At the end of the day im leaning away from the gamer look, but the Lian Li I had off tigger, I can imagine brand new would just be an absolute masterpiece. The Lian Li looks good, and that hair line brushed aluminium is just amazing. The scout is gorgeous but Im fed up of, and I like the way acid said it, "Gamer 1337 Plastic" because im getting more mature in myself and I want my room to look simplistic, not sat with a machine with 80 fans and flashing LED's in the corner

Still, id like any more opinions you guys have.

 

[alexp999]

kyle how about this?

All Alu, sexy black interior, top fan

[kyle2020]

God damn that boards sexy moon, and you got the same amazing box as I did - that box is better than any case I have ever used haha.

Are you installing everything to it today?

 

[MoonPig]

yea. But proper install tomorrow. Getting a Windows7 disc form Cpt. Alex and a Coaxial cable for uber-audio!

 

[aCid888*]

kyle how about this?

That case is really nice, I've always liked them...but damn its expensive!

Black Alu.....sexy side.....big case....winner???

Id say so, kinda makes me wish I had bought it, lol.

2 x 180mm fans!

Its like the best of a Gamer case and Lian-Li all in one!

 

[kyle2020]

Its nice but far too expensive.

 

[alexp999]

Thought you had up to £100 for it?

Dont forget the sale of you 690. And you could sell the TT Armor Jr too

And like I said earlier, dont end up kicking yourself, "wishing you had", if the case for you is just that bit more.

Its not expensive for what you get.

 

[MoonPig]

You have an armor aswell?

 

[kyle2020]

Yeah this 690 and an armor Jr in the loft, but its been sprayed and isnt of the best quality IMO.

That silverstone is nice mind.

 

[MoonPig]

how about one of them Mountain Mods cases?

 

[sapetto]

Ive got my P5Q-E for a week now and i love it
And yes its sexy

 

[alexp999]

Do it kyle! Tis only £10 more than my sniper. (and much better in many ways)

IMO its actually quite cheap for what you get, sound insulated side panels, 2 x Silverstone (mine were dead silent) 180mm Fans.

No metal mesh, they use open holes and fan gaurds instead. 180mm fan has a fan guard!

Dust filters on all intakes

PSU even has its own little dust filter ffs, lol.

Oh and did I mention its got an all black aluminium interior!

Silverstone also say they have used as few rivets as possible to make it more adaptable

 

[aCid888*]

Its still damn expensive though....but you cant deny aluminium is the way forward.

 

[kyle2020]

In a toss up, however, between the Silverstone and the PC60FW, id choose the lian li. Dont hurt me

 

[alexp999]

Its your choice. I wanted to put a case out there that gave you the Lian-Li look, AND cooled well.

Im not bothered what case you get. I respect everyone has a personal preference. I dont believe alu is the way forward. It depends on the needs of you and your case
