Any case, whether or not it is $20 or $500, I WILL mod it. There is no such thing as the perfect case, so the next best option is modding it until it's the "perfect" case for me!

Yes, but you realize the A-77 is about the closest thing to perfection in a long while.

You're very entitled to your opinion. However for me, it was worth every penny. I don't expect you to understand the care and attention to every perfect detail that these guys put into their product.

I talked with Charles for 6 months while he hashed things out with the direction he wanted the business to go, and I appreciate every extra mile he put into my case. It's literally buying a functional piece of art from a boutique shop. They do a few things and do them very well. Since they're not cranking out mass production lines with skimped quality, they don't get to offer the big box prices like you see on Newegg. Trust me, Charles would definitely like to put these in the price range of the average shopper, but when he's paying the same retail prices as you and me, and he's not willing to cut corners on quality, he needs to sell them for just a little more than he paid just to make some sort of profit.

Trust me, it takes a whole lot more than a measly $10 to do anything they do. It's not even the money. It's the time and details that make it worthwhile.

EDIT: By the way, the front panel is not acrylic, it's aluminum, laser-etched, with a custom light behind some of the etching. He had such a hard time finding someone to do that for him that cared enough to make it perfect every time and agree to do small batches for him. Those front panels really have been a headache for him, but they're really paid off.

that is what you are paying for with the mudermod stuff, but i personally cannot go with spending 950 euros on a modded case, that is alot of hardware updates.

Ok its looking like the TJ-07 more and more BUT... since I wont be moving to water anytime soon I dont like the air cooling in the case, the 92mm dont seem enough to cool the case plus they are louder.

Also now im looking at the CoolerMaster 840. Ofcourse that case is not as good quality at Lian-Li and Silverstone but its not bad either. It has a lot of features. The only negative I see its that its not as good looking as the two cases I said specially the TJ-07! that case is beautiful!!

So what do you guys think about the 840 instead of the other ones? It has more features and better cooling.

Forget it I decided on the TJ-07 the more I look at it the more I fall in love. I am going to move on to water cooling soon because of it. I just want to water cool my cpu for now. So I wont have to do any modding. I might do some modding to the motherboard case for better cable management thats all. This is going to be my first water cooling project can't wait
