I Need a Rocketfish

It's this kind of object that you see once and keep on thinking about for a long time until you get it. It kind of reminds me how badly my dad wants a motorcycle, except that in my case, I can actually afford it and not have my mom on my back for the rest of my life.


A Lian-Li for under 100$ shipped, all brushed aluminum exterior, this would be my first full tower case, and would make a kick ass base for the extreme 3 loop WC build. Seriously, what kind of stinking enthusiast would snob out this case?

It's in those times that I realize that I, like many people here on OCN, have a serious addiction. When I look at this case, the logical part of me sees a good case for a possible upcoming build, but it also sees a total waste of my hardly earned money. Do I really need this? Hell no. No way I'm swapping out all of Fr0stbyte, and I'm way too poor to afford more hardware to build a new box. Two builds in 8 months (Fr0stbyte and Annabel), even though they are now sub-par by today's standards, cost me a serious chunk, not to mention that I still have to buy a couple of hard drives to totally finish up Annabel.

Despite all those good reasons NOT to buy it, I still want the damned thing like a junky wants crack. I'd kill to be able to touch it's aluminum body, sand it down, paint it matte black and then mod the living daylights out of it. To drill it for cable management. To fit it with more radiators and pumps than it has room for. I really want it that bad.

Please tell me I'm not that abnormal.
