Should I keep it or get rid of it?

**SocceRich20** · October 9th, 2003, 11:11 PM

I got my new case, an X-Superalien. It's nice and all, but the fan controller has needed to be RMA'ed twice, and the new one is all messed up too. Its nice, but my old case was less ricey, got better temps with my awesome front fan mod, and was smaller, and easier to move. I am having a hard time deciding, so I want some second opinions. I am getting better and more confident with the dremel and drill, so I think I can do some nice mods to my old case. I really like the front lights, and I have a grill that covers two 5.25" bays, and I have some blue led fans to go in there. Returning the X-Superalien will also result in me having $100 more in my pocket. Here are some pics of the old case.

Heres my new case:

Honestly, I vote for your old case...do some modding of your own, it will be fun! Plus, the stability issue should be a major concern.
Just my $1.72...

Personally, I prefer the old, especially for $100!!!!

The old case was way nicer. imo

I agree, the old case is far better, sell the new one!

**angelcat** · October 10th, 2003, 10:36 AM

I say go with the older one!

i think both cases are spiffy. I think the new one looks better but not $100 better :-p

I have an X-Superalien, but factoring in the fact that your old case is SWEET, you have some modding skills, and you'd have $100 if you returned the X-Superalien... I say get your money back. Stick with your old case and make it look better than the X-Superalien.

I'd go along with that - the new one is nice but not $100 better - especially since the temps are better with the original case

...definately go get your $100 back!!
