White Cases?

K0MP4CT

Simply, what are your opinions on white cases? Do you love them or hate them? Why? Any examples of nice or bad white cases? :)

NZXT S340

Great case, just not enough room for custom loop with lots of radiator space xD

HexGear R80 White is a pretty good case. I probably would have bought it instead of my current one at the time. 

 

I don't necessarily love/hate white cases, I just figure why not a white case? I mean, I'm not the type of person to get it extremely dirty, so there wouldn't be a particular reason to get a black case in this instance.

phanteks p400 white, s 340, h440/h630(my current case). I personally love black and white themed builds, however when the case is pure white or has a non gray shade incorporated it is much less appealing.

It depends on the case styling. I have an AvP Hyperion EV33W which looks a lot better IRL than in the product photos. It is mostly a gloss white case. By chance I put a blue LED fan cooler inside, and the subtle glow from that escaping out of the various openings works well too.

White plastic always seems to discolour over time. That being said I loved my Fractal Design Define R4 White. Changed to Black Define S when I built my new computer.

White cases can really stand out even if they're minimalistic like the Define R4 or the NZXT s340.

I have the Thermaltake Level 10 GT (in black) that also comes in white, it's a bit "ugly" to a lot of people's idea of cases though.

It's not the case I'd like to have personally, but it does look pretty cool. Reminds me of something from a Splinter Cell mission :D

It definitely stands out for sure. Like i said it's an aesthetic, a lot of people like the design but would not get it for their case which I understand. It does have a lot of cool features though, like an HDD SATA power bridge and "hot swapable" HDD trays

I have seen quite a few nicely done white cases.  Of course the majority being Case Lab cases.

 

Though, I do kind of like some of the Fractal Design cases in white.

 

But at the end of the day, I hope to someday get a Magnum TH10A in white.  Such a nice looking case in white.

i had a lot of white cases and they tend to have to have a specific scheme. got tired of red/white, blue white, green white.

i wanted the Phanteks p400s in white but the local store was charging more for it. I probably wanted it because every case iv ever owned had has been black except for the beige 486. its the only bright colour that doesn't look like lemming vomit

I'm liking all the ones you guys have suggested. I probably won't buy a white case myself due to my desk, keyboard, monitor and mouse all being black, it might look a little odd! But I really do like the Fractal Define R5 White :)
