I have these Aluminum cases sitting around collecting dust. I don’t know what to do with them.
Can you help ?.....
They are Lian Li and one is a Cooler Master Praetorian.
Help me figure out what to build with them.
One could be used for "the ultimate 3dfx build" . Voodoo 1, SLI Voodoo 2 and Voodoo 5 5500.
Need a couple really nice sound cards as well.... Now that I said that, I think that is a build I may end up doing.
I don't really like any of them. I owned the 1st one its kinda junky but I think it has a removable motherboard tray and the trayis actually nice.. I would use the tray from the 1st one to make a custom enclosure with.
Oh, I just remembered. I have some unused motherboard projects I was wanting to to build. I could use one case for that.
I think I will us that with the “Lian Li” case with the see-through side panel.
With the silver Lian-Li with window i would make a Windows XP built with Phenom II X6 and a SLI config with two small GTX460 (drive cage prevent using full lenghth cards).

Yes, I have a custom motherboard and I will try to use SLI video cards. WinXP and one of a kind Audio card.
Its going to be a theme based computer. I think I have all the parts already.
I do like the early cooler master aluminium cases, the first one was released in 1999 iirc so perfect for a pre2000 build, this one is from 2001 or 2002 I think, same goes for the bottom Lian Li, I think that's one of the early ones from around 2001 too.
so perfect for a period correct socket A system if you ask me :3
Gee, wish I could stumble into my storage area and lo and behold gaze upon my sublime collection of primo pc cases!
Just teasing of course, jealous I am! Where do you people find these nice cases? Ebay prices are insane shipping-wise.

I passed up the chance to buy one of the very very early pre-2000 coolermaster aluminium cases 🙁
