What colour case/chassis do you prefer? (Define R5)

Hello.

 

I know this seem to be a Case topic but I wanted a general census on what colour people buy on their product and what colour they prefer.

The Define R5 has three colours - black, titanium/gray and white. I struggle between gray or white so I don't know what I should pick, so instead I'll choose what people most liked so when I decide to show off my PC to my friends hopefully  will like the colour. Gray and White are some of my favourite colours so you know I cannot decide between them.

 

So what colour do you prefer for your case (not just the Define R5 if you wish) - Black, Gray or White?

 

Also is the gray version of the Define R5 is actually Gray? Or is it only the front panel is Gray and the rest is black?

Because I cannot tell from the pictures.

 

Thanks!

I prefer black when it comes to Fractal cases, but white with NZXT cases

Thanks for the quick replies. But is the gray version of Define fractal products are actually gray?

Black is more neutral of a color that doesn't get things like scratches shown too bad like gray does.

So the whole case is gray not just the front?

I just bought an NZXT (Phnatom 240) case in white. I plan to customize my PC later down the road and if I end up painting the case itself it will look better on the white and it also gives a good base to the future colors I'll use (along with my white Mobo, and white RAM heat spreaders that will take color better) . At this point I just couldn't stand a black case, it is just so boring and has been the color to use for ever now that I'm glad we finally have different choice at all.

Nice, Then I'll get gray but unless its too dark that it looks like black. I have to see it for myself.

I wanted the 780T but many people keep telling not to buy it because its too expensive for what it is.

That's why I became excited for the Define R5 all of the sudden.

Hmm it seems like people still like black/grey even though we have been using it for many years (I am slightly bored of it, all my PCs are black too).

No one likes white?

i've seen 780T is too expensive for what you got in that price . i was about to buy but then end up buying 230T. White is taking over the market but it will take time even now 1 out of 20 casings is white in the market. coz there is so less options in the market in regard of out of the box white themed components and black accommodates every color inside .

I don't think the gray/titanium version is actually fully grey, only the front panel is gray and everything else is very dark.

Looks gray in all the pictures I've seen. Might be the lighting and that I'm a bit colorblind... :lol:
