Case suggestions?

[Wineblood]

I'm having trouble finding a case that I like that look of. I'm after something that looks aggressive and isn't focused on glass and RGB. My searches through case manufacturer sites and pcpartpicker haven't been successful. The case that's close to what I want is the CM 690 III, but it's hard to find.

How much are you looking to spend? And what do you define "aggressive" ? Is the Fractal Design Meshify aggressive?

Define R6 / R5?

Define R6

[Wineblood]

I'd say looking to spend up to a maximum of £100. Aggressive to me is more angular than most cases, more rough aspects to the case. The opposite of the plain cuboid that's prevalent at the moment. 

 

Fractal Design is what I'd consider the furthest away from what I want, that includes the meshify. Something similar to the HAF 912.

So the gamery-edgy look you're going for is one that sadly has lost a lot of popularity. Unfortunately most of the ones left in that category are cheap pieces of junk hoping the looks catch enough eyes and sell them. Here's the 4 I found, and I'm going based on look, I don't know of the quality. @TVwazhere, how did I do?

You mentioned both HAF 912 and 690 III, but those cases are significantly different looking.

Do you want tame&business-like look of 690 III or edgy look of 912?

Have you looked at some of the BeQuiet! cases? They kinda look like an updated 690.

The Coolermaster case's front panel is plastic not mesh so that case has practically no airflow for those fans, the corsair options are good. The Apevia case isnt bad but we dont know if OP has an air tower cooler >155mm, because that can be a limiting factor.

What is your budget, system specs and location (so that we know where to suggest good deals on cases)

£100, UK based (hence my budget in GBP). I'm running a Ryzen 5 1600 with stock cooler, MSI B350 Mortar and a Sapphire RX 470.

Some of the older Corsair SPEC's are a bit more aggressive looking
