Maybe have a go at making your own? Might take a while but it's probably going to be cheaper than a TJ-07!:D

Made mine from a crappy old case :D I wasn't having a pop, just they always seem to win and I was being a paddy arse because I ain't got the money for one. Shame on me :)
It's a tough choice between polarity and reflexion. Both are to a high standard
with focus on detail. I haven't seen any work done on the latter for a while, so
my vote goes to polarity.
I've been following both Polarity and Reflexion and they are excellent pieces of craftsmanship. The overview doesn’t even mention the exquisite dovetails in the Reflexion build.
All excellent MOTM nominations. My vote is for Reflexion.
My word, I've just had this pointed out to me (having managed to completely miss it being posted) and am stunned. I have the cheesiest grin imaginable on my face right now at seeing my humble case in this contest.
Thanks to all those that vote for my project, and I wish the best of luck to all the other superb entries.
Sorry Tris I thought I'd PMed everyone, I must have forgotten!

Didn't assume you were having a pop!:D Just seems to me there are some great looking scratchbuilds in the forums at the moment and I bet they cost a lot less than these shiny high end cases but well done for having a go! eBay is your friend though - I picked up my Lian Li V2000 for £60 last year
Concretronic got my vote. As has been said before, it's so unique and original that it deserves a vote, imo. Plus, making a solid curved chunk of concrete and putting a PC in it probably isn't as easy as some are willing to say it is!
Wish I could have put in a second vote for Darkshines, though! As the article says: "we can honestly say that if this case could be bought in the shops, we reckon it would prove very popular indeed". I'd buy one if you were selling! It's not as flashy or complex as some others, but it's a great looking case.
My brain hurts trying to pick & they are all special, unique, I like the little htpc & think the prizes would look sweet on it too :D, I like the extreme lian-li 2000 mod (but money to burn comes to mind would have been soooo much cheaper to buy a mobo tray & make a frame), I like polarity, I like reflexion & the hefty attention to detail he went to on it & the skill displayed throughout.
But the shear awesomeness of the concrete pc & DB's 2 player rig I'm having great difficulty picking the number 1, almost flip a coin time , but no, my heart & head says concrete pc ftw :D.
Congrats to all nominated, all fantastic pieces ;).
My vote (no. 100!!) just went to Concretronic! I've also been following Reflexion, and am really amazed at the skill going on there, but the simplistic beauty, originality and no-bullsh*t construction of Concretronic made it win hands down in my eyes..
darthbeavis got my vote. Lots of great work in his project. The scale of work involvedputs the others in the shade. As fantastically innovative as concretronic is, there's a reason why cases aren't made from concrete and why we stopped building concrete tower blocks...

Thank you, It's my honor to be doing it ;)

Lolz, Xeb. You have truly earned that title that we spoke of now.
