Default Abs Black Pearl

Hey guys,

My friends never ending mission for a new case lead him to look at the Abs pearl. Where do we find it for the $<100 price? I have been trying to look for it everywhere. How do you guys think of airflow for an aircooled case? How come I notice that the there are so many side windows designs for this case?

Thanks in advance guys!

Dang! Are you serious =/ Anything else I should check out in its price range? I really like the lightweight and full tower look

maybe something in the marketplace here
gonna be hard to find an all aluminum full tower for sub 100 like the Black Pearl was
if you just want a workable full tower at a decent price, the CM HAF932 is a good case with good airflow, its just a steel case so its not light

Yeah, I had it but it was just ugly to me. I don't really like that look. I want a sleek look.

Honestly your best bet at this point is to look for a cheap Lian Li A71 ($200 or so brand new) or something similar. It's going to bust your $100 budget but at the same time I think it's going to be hard to find anything that fills your criteria at that price.

For a decent sized case with understated styling at that price I would have to recommend the Cooler Master CM690. It's not a full tower but it's definitely not cramped either.

only way would be finding a seller who would sell it for less than a 100$ since newegg no longer carries it and u missed their two sweet deals that make it cost less than 100$
