english website for Windy cases...

I don't think anyone's bought a Windy case here... $500+ for their base model? No thanks...
 
there is definitely one person here with a bunch of Windy cases .. they posted recently (I think in the workstation 2011 thread.. I'm pretty sure they said they used a buying service to have it bought in Japan and sent to them however.


i would like to get one of the Abee cases but the costs have cause a very very low WAF (wife approval factor) thus far.. I may not push my luck atm.
 
Lol I was thinking of subwoofers when you said WAF.

clearly you weren't looking at the pic above then :)


I would love to get the WAF raised on this idea... having a beautiful case that basically nobody else in America has would be well worth the $500 to me... plus it would last thru who knows how many builds

this is the one i want VERY Badly.. not a Windy case but Abee

I see nothing special about these cases, a Silverstone TJ07 or TJ11would be a much better buy. The would "tandem intake fans makes everything better!" is when I stopped looking.
 
Windy cases are worth the price premium. I have owned 13 over the last 3 years (I was a seller of them on Overclock.net). They are great cases. I have owned every major case and I continue to prefer Soldam cases over them all.
 
Old lian li is nice but... current cases are ok. Your pc70 was a great case just like my atcs 100 but the windy cases are spectacular.
 
Does anyone tell me why Windy cases are so exp? I know they are made by Japanese aluminum, but what other features do they hold such high value?

Actually they are made by japanese workers :D it just has a thing you cant put your finger on.
 
Windy/Soldam > Corsair / Lian-Li / Antec / Coolermaster / Silverstone

You guys should have seen their old lineup. God I wish they marketed their cases here.. too bad the niche they appeal to is very small. If I only had the cash at the time, someone was selling a Windy case some guy over at [H] For Sale last year...

Lian Li quality has gone to crap.. ive ran so many of their cases and the last one was an A20B I spent 400$ on when it came out. I had to use spacers on the mobo to get things to line up right. This was the third Lian Li recently I ran into quality issues with.. no thanks.. no more Lian Li for me.
