got to agree with the guy above
[QUOTE=''lettuceman44'']The ApolloIt is the one I'm getting.[/QUOTE]Yeah that's what I got.
My girlfriend is looking at that apollo case and drooling. I think she found the one :D Thanks for the suggestion.
yeah no prob
[QUOTE=''lettuceman44'']The ApolloIt is the one I'm getting.[/QUOTE]Its steel... = heavy, and not nearly as good as good at conducting heat as alimunum, and alimunum is lighter.

the aluminum conducting heat thing is more or less a myth, and that's coming from someone who has only used aluminum cases for the last six years. :) (lian-li is teh roxor!)
heavy is very true, though. steel vs aluminum is a MASSIVE MASSIVE difference when it comes to moving your computer around... if you don't ever move it though, who really cares? (note: i care, but i move it a lot)

ok.. in the interest of correctness, my original phrasing could be wrong. so i'll revise it.
the aluminum cases conducting heat more effectively than steel cases thing / resulting in better temps is a myth.
what you're reading is marketing-speak. the air inside your case's job is to move outside of the case, and it doesn't have enough time to let the case transfer any heat. if it does, something is already seriously wrong. besides that, when are any heat-generating components really coming into direct contact with the case? the closest thing you've got is a hard drive, and they'll top out in the 30's or 40's celsius.
and how effective of a heat transfer material do you believe 6 inches of empty moving air to be? :)

Yeah get the Apollo. I looks better in silver IMO.

I own the Centurion, and I think it's great, so I would definitely recommend it to anyone. But, the Apollo looks awesome, and if you're not going to be moving it around too much, I think I would have to recommend it over the Centurion :(.
[QUOTE=''MondoCool'']The power supply makes some good contact with the case :P[/QUOTE]It shouldn't make that much contact. Nor should it be getting that much hotter than your hard drive. And the power supply isn't like a component, in that it's housed in its own case, and therefore not transferring heat like a processor or memory chip would.But I think you were joking. Still, it's worth mentioning, if not for you, then for anyone who reads this.

[/QUOTE]yea, nothing wrong with steel. Plus the Apollo has good cooling too.
