Why do people buy boring generic PC cases

[Shroomster]

I don't like these professional trolls riding on the edge of the CoC so they can't be banned.

[Benielishackove]

just got it today, my new phantom 820 white edition 

[Benielishackove]

Now that's what I like, not a boring little box filled with sound proofing crap, one that looks like it's made specifically for performance and nothing else. Like dis

 

I want one so bad, if only I could afford to actually fill it with all that stuff lol

I want this top secret NASA project (this does not exist)

Nice, but the coolant is hideous. I absolutely DESPISE that opaque coolant crap. I don't see the point in it.

 

Might as well just use opaque tubing of the same color.

calling someone a scrotum is pretty close to the coc's edge too...

It was the first lame sarcastic name to call someone I could think of.

I love my Silverstone Fortress FT02, it's the perfect combination of simplicity for it's overall design on the outside (brushed aluminum, no gamer bling crap anywhere) and uniqueness to stand out with the rotated motherboard design and size of the thing (not as big as an 800d or anything, but still imposing lol).  To me, gamer bling and all those flamboyant cases just screams cheap because it's all plastic that will probably eventually break off or fall off after not too long.  I like things that scream quality and sleek for my personal preference.

Class.

Some people want it understated with a bit of class, instead of something flashy with stickers all over it and oversized aesthetic features. Kind of sounds like I am describing vastly different tastes in cars. It's really there same, as it's about personal tastes.

this beauty here!!!!

 

 

That is indeed a VERY pretty case IMHO, i also like the 760T, corsair make beautiful cases sometimes.

My case i consider ''somewhat flashy'' but with great taste i think, what you guys think?

[Mao_Zedong]

I don't like plain cases, especially the fractal design r* cases. The cases I think look the best are the NZXT Phantoms (especially the white ones and the black/orange one), they look interesting without being over the top/blingy, like most gamer oriented cases.

I've always prefered the "sleeper" look, I don't like to showoff and I enjoy the feeling of being the only one who really knows what's inside. If I was to modify my car for example, I'd only do performance upgrades and keep the exterior as stock as possible.

get new body kits, lift kit, spoilers, flames, neon, and a 20 inch subwoofer in the back

I bought the Thermaltake Chaser MK-I for it's size and features at a very good price.  I haven't made my build with it yet but I regret buying it because it looks like shit to me now....for some reason at the time I bought it, it looked fine.

 

what was I thinking!!!    It was one of those stupid impulse buys.

 

--snip--

apart from it being a eye sore, it has awesome features and excellent cooling.  Oh well!!!   this is my second regret case.  The one I really want is on the expensive side.

I used to hate my chaser too. (it was fun for the first two days) But now i like it. Changed my colourshift fans to a different color just to annoy people.

Looks a hell of a lot better than that:

Says you. A black refrigerator for a PC is not acceptable in my book

Well you wrote your book wrong.

[Arct1c0n]

[iludez]

Building PC's in 1980's cases since 2009!

I agree & disagree. I like the looks of both kinds that you show. But, which one's easier to work on/in? Which one's easier to mod out to something totally unique? Pre-modded cases can look great, but it takes a whole lot like real work to turn them into something special, unless you plan to cut off all the stuff that makes them look good to begin with, which would make buying one pointless, lol!

[swifty7]

I'm going to Paint my eye sore of a Pc case (thermaltake chaser mk-1) white.  I saw someone who did it on youtube, makes the case look much nicer.   I rather do that than spend almost 2 hundred for another case.

[TheDev]

is an xbox 350 case boring

[Enzo_Mofo]

Price

[ObeseWalrus]

Because some of us are not fourteen.

 

Your question is equal to this 

 

Why do people buy this 

 

instead of this

[vembutech]

Each people task differ make the people to select different case.

[Kawaii Besu]

Because...

I personally love boring boxy cases. I just love the classiness and simplicity that they deliver compared to something like that screams "UH YIZZ THEZE ANGLED SHAPES MAKE MAH COMPYUTAH 9000% FASTAH AND MOAH CINEMATIC". They also generally have better build quality and more metal than "gaming" cases at equivalent prices. (I'm looking at you, (Plas)tec Nineteen Hundred.)

Also with Bossing Linus there. Kind of like a "wolf in sheep's clothing" kind of thing, at first glance at the (boring) case, it looks like an ordinary computer with "average Joe" specs, (Kids these days thinking "looks = greater performance. ) but when they peek through the window with LEDs and big oversized heatsinks and GPU cooling, :o .
