The gigabyte I-Solo is much better than any of those cases. Have you ever looked at those any of those cases up close? The front is this crappy cheap plastic and the build quality is shocking. I mean how can that be better than the I-Solo which has an aluminium front? And lets not even go into the features of these cases. Or the lack of. These cheap, windowed, alien looking cases usually don't have a good build quality, hence the low price.
Avata Gamers Cases.
I would just like to clarrify a few things regarding the cases from AVATA:
A: We imported these cases, after doing months of research on suppliers.
B: We spent over R12 000 in getting in samples from each manufacturer, as
to not end up with a container full of cheap crap.
C: Myself and my business partner are both avid gamers ourselfes. To the
point where we even make our own mods (GRAW2/BF2142, etc.) I
wouldn't sell you a case I'm not willing to buy for myself.
D: We took the stock cases from the suppliers, then added some design
modifications to the cases, including placing a metal bar in the handle for
extra strengh, amongs others. We also added 2 extra fans per case, one
of which is a 4-color fan in the side-panel. At no extra cost.
E: The cases are made out of .8mm SEG steel. They are pretty sturdy,
trust me on this.
F: Why are they so cheap? Because I don't need to charge you 3 times as
much as what I get them for. That is what the other retailers in the
industry do. (I would know, I deal with them on a daily basis.) The whole object
of importing them was to make it affordable for everybody.
Anyone is welcome to come and view these cases at our offices. I am even willing to "donate" one to Picard, for review, to lay his fears at rest.
My contact details are on my website, www.avata.co.za
Kind regards

You can donate one to me for review!
I've owned a crap plasticy case and a decent well built case, so I'll be able to objectively compare it to the two. If you want in let me know.
By the way, is your web site not hosted in SA? My internet is capped (new month, I know, but the people at telkom are obviously still hung over) and I can only access local sites (like MyADSL) but I can't access your site at the moment...

Hi Carderne
I will discuss this with my business partner, and get back to you. Drop me a line at [email protected] so that I can have your contact details. I will also mail you pics of them, as you cannot access the site yet.
We also have a bunch of modding stuff, that we haven't put on the site yet, which you might be interested in. (LED light bars/Color fans/Cathode lights, etc)
As for your second question: We are mainly a web design company, and all of our hosting is done in the States. Local hosting is pathetic at best. Give you an example: On our cheapest hosting package, we offer you 1000mb space, 12.5 Gig International bandwidth, Unlimited email/databases, etc. And we only charge R75-00/month. Find me a local company that can beat that, and I will move all my business over to them.
Regards,

I would then suggest the Fragbox, Freshy. It has space for two more 80mm fans in the case, apart from the two that's already in it.
Also, the Fragbox has a temperature LCD which is pretty damn accurate, and very sensitive to temperature changes.
Delivery can be arranged either via courier, or mail. Which ever is the cheapest of the two.

No offense was intended with my original statement.
If such is your claim I'd like to see some good pics of them as well. A case to be reviewed (even if only for a while) is certainly an attractive option since I am in the market to fully overhaul my current PC.
Mr, Picard, if I give you a case to review, it means you get to keep it. But only if the fact that you are getting it doesn't influence your judgement. It's really too much of a mission to build a pc into a case just to take it out again after a short while, don't you think?

Probably R50, speed couriers charge R48 something, Fixxxer must just package it properly!
Donate me one for review, You will get a good one. No Joke
I see no prices.
I see no specs
Thats why I am with ThermalTake ATM. Just assembled a Aguila system.
Am in the market for a Kandalf LCS or Large Mozart with LCS.

Come now, exactly how much.
Don't be shy.

You are more than welcome to send me one. My father taught to never look a gift horse in the mouth.
I will do a review on the case and will report back here for everyone to see. As I said before I were hasty in my initial assessment but will now do a thorough inspection.
