I got it from: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/91831
It was really cheap and came with the 2 side fans and the front one, and i got an extra 80mm one for the back, and the fan controller thing: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/91657
so it was pretty cheap i think!
plus i got an LCD screen for my birthday so its like a new computer now :D

Very nice case, Andy, to say the least :) Now it looks just like mine (with the only 3 exceptions being my case: has a blue outside, does not have 2 side panel fans, and has a bigger, blue-er fan controller display).
I ordered my case, fans, and fan controller from TigerDirect.com (clicky) (http://www.tigerdirect.com/)... In fact, I ordered everything from TigerDirect with the exception of my monitor, speakers, and processor - from which came in my first modern computer (bought about 3-4 years ago).

I really like my new case, its soo much quieter! and of course there is an AMD inside :D It came with a 350w PSU but i couldnt use it on my mobo so i had to use my old 300w one, but its only running 2 hard drives, 5 fans, 1 DVD drive, a 1.5GHz AMD so it does the job for me.
i cant find out how to change the fan controller to a blue background, it is pictured blue on the box and it says you can change it but it doesnt say how and there is no ovious way of doing it.

Try holding one button down while pushing others... that is usually how configure multiple options for a device with few buttons.
Hmmm... Though I must say, I don't really like those completely clear cases... kind of defeats the purpose of having lights - and it just looks a little too retro for a case. Meh, that's just in my opinion, of course :)

i tried that kiros but no luck, thanks tho.
im not really a fan of the clear cases cos there is nowhere ro hide all the wires ect.

mine has a switch on the fan. it decides to either have more bright light or a faster intake. of course tigerdirect has the cheapest things which is one of the best website to buy components.

Yep is a stock Dell
XP Pro
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53GHz
2.52GHz, 512MB of RAM
im running a little slow...gotta get more ram...
and to make up for it...My bros gaming computer

5.1 sound system, logitech all over...lol
AV card for TV viewing and video editing
Water cooler system
2 Fans
Dual screen setup
He used to run 7 fans in there to keep it from shutting down but the dust got to them really fast so we were swapping them once every 2 months
After the water cooler was installed only 2 fans were needed and its much quieter

Yeah wire management is a lot harder with a clear case. As for lights, i dont have any extra lights in it now, just the ones on the fans.

Bah i like the stickers, i have had my comp for almost a year and haven't even tried to get them off. But ya the specs are pretty good, Well exsept for my usual rant about the stuipid motherboard not having a PCI-E or AGP slot. The only thing that has changed as far as those stickers go is that now i have a gig of ram.The processer is good also running at about 3.06 Ghz.
