“After getting tired with my old Antec Sonata II case, I really wanted to build something original for myself. The basic guidelines for the case were simple. As this case was going to be built to be used at Lan-parties, the case should be small, simple, durable, upgradeable and it still should be able to house a powerful system.”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

“build a high quality aluminum case with basically a hacksaw and a file”
Instead of tossing old cases, the folks at MektuMod like to disembowel cases and remake them to their own bizarre ideals. This time the victim was a small defenseless Antec Sonata II case, which had custom lighting, watercooling and a pair of 8800GTXs inside by the time they were done with it
