Hi all,
I've been looking around for new case to replace my current one. I wanted a full white case (with white interior) and tempered glass, with around 120 AUD price tag max. Quite simple, really.
But after several trips to the local stores one thing becomes clear :
First, there's barely any choice of white cases. Second, those that I kind of like have the tempered glass somewhat darkened. Like it's, tinted? Compared to my current case (cheap Chinese case with acrylic side panel) it's a stark difference. The acrylic one I have is almost transparent, bar some scratches built up over the years (acrylic, you know how it is). I asked the store to put some LED strips and random fans inside one of those dark tempered glass cases and sure enough, the LEDs were barely visible.
Is this the norm for tempered glass cases? Tinted like car window of some sort? Or maybe I've been looking at the wrong cases? Because if this is how all tempered glass case look I'm thinking of just grabbing another acrylic case (which is unfortunate).
