Hah, I have the same problem. Gonna buy a new computer some time soon, although I can't decide which case to pick. I wanted to get the fractal design ARC midi. It looks awesome, has lots of ncie features and is relatively cheap. It's best looking case I've managed to find so far. The only problem is I don't like the fact that the front bezel is made out of plastic. The thing is you need to take it off completly in order tog et to dust filters, which as I have been told, accumulate lots of dust. So I am afraid that eventually, no matter how sturdy the plastic is, some clips may break off. And that would be a terrible thing.
So, if you mentioned the problem of picking a nice case, could someone perhaps help me with that? I am looking for nice and elegant case, with removable HDD cage, lots of ventilation, filtered intakes and not much plastic. I'd really like it to ahave a side window too, since it will be standing on top of my desk.

i reckon that the next competition that he will hold is when Ivy bridge is released and for that it will probably be using the new Z77 boards as well, hopefully he will do a ROG version as their new boards are looking really good.

Ill be in touch with the winners directly in 7 days to get things sorted.
WOW.. just saw when the winners were posted. I'm glad I didnt stick around for more than 10 seconds when I saw how much of a cluster #(@& this was yesterday.
It's pretty simple folks, Tom is trying to recoup costs from these three "Prizes" and needs you all to log in over and over again for 12+ extra hours to get a more advertising loot to even everything out.
Nothing personal, he *DID* spam you at least 1-2 messages telling you that *YOU* were the winner in your e-mail beforehand and then a 3rd e-mail said he would be making an announcement at "2100 BST" and it was all just for more advertising funds to help pay for this thing and bring in revenue for the site.
Instead of being upfront about this need maybe he's found it more appropriate to spam people "You WON" letters and *EXACT TIMES* while all the while blatently lying to his forum members and contest entrants who are maybe just here for the first time and seeing what the place is like.. Well, now you know.
Add OC3D to your spam filter, it is *without doubt* a more fitting place for this kind of garbage.
Grats to those that did win something. :-/ for all of the hours purposefully wasted by folks for the sake of AD revenue and lies to get readers there. Way to fund your compos.
