My current one is a Thermaltake Matrix VX, which is modded slightly to accommodate different fans (Swapped out all stock fans with Noctua 120mm's, and cut away parts of the aluminium framework in order to get a more uniform airflow).

My current project is refurbishing and modding a Thermaltake Kandalf LCS, but need new parts for the liquid cooling system due to the old CPU-block cracking and thus causing a rather spectacular short of my old motherboard and vidcard. Also have other plans for the Kandalf in terms of modding, but that'll have to come after the LC-parts are aquired.

All the Lubic stuff was discontinued a long time ago and now is quite sought after. It was sold as various kits or in single items so you could add or build from scratch. It was the meccano of computer cases being as adaptable as your imagination. It's so nice to work on once it's built it too. I can slide the mother board straight out of the case by undoing a few thumb screws. The aluminium frame work is of exceptional quality.

Cheers

Interesting case. Any idea why there was never a replacement?

I have that one, it's spacious and I could easily fit my Corsair H-70 liquid/air cooler :) It has filters making dust less problematic, and room for loads of fans.

The HAF X has gotten very good reivews, and it indeed looks a step up from my model. (I especially like the black interior, rubber grommets and side window.)

The only negative aspect I can see is that with all those fins and bits of angular plastic, it looks like a sod to clean. :)

Oh yes, how is that H70 working for you?

It was released in a time when there was a plethora of poor quality unclean able Acrylic cases flooding the market so by the unknowing it got tarred with the same brush. Due to Aerocool being a small company with few products, poor advertising, very few distributers and VERY poor instructions it was not well known. Most people thought lubic was the aeroplane shaped case and few knew a tower and midi tower were manufactured. I myself bought it from a picture that was far less pleasing than the real thing. It was one of those rare occasions when I was considerably more pleased with my purchase than I expected to be. :grin: (Even though it took hours to assemble.)

So they phased it out and now manufacturer what are IMO tacky plastic gaming cases that look like jet engines and the like. I don't feel a replacement design is needed it already does everything well. Maybe some more colours and replacement instructions would have been of more benefit! There really is no case with more access than this. You can get to and remove anything in seconds. It's very sturdy and very quiet too, if not a bit heavy.

My only regret is not buying the full size tower and some spare parts when the were selling off discontinued stock. They did these cases in smoked black also which is easier on the eye for many.

I'm still always searching for spares and NIB cases but this stuff goes for good money now.

Just another one of those items where demand is higher once its gone. :(

Cheers
