This is a thread just for people to show what they think will be a 'Timeless' PC case, as in for future builds that wont look old anytime in the future. You see PC builds from 5 years ago that pc cases look disgusting and outdated, so show some cases you think wont go out of date any time soon. Lets not discuss actual case aspects or price, and visuals only.

 

 

E.G

I dont think nzxt h500/h700 are going to look outdated any time soon - they are very plain and simple, especially the h510 elite.

Nothing. Cases we thought were timeless a decade ago you couldn't pay us to use in 2019; they looked ugly, had shit airflow and cable management, etc.

If its something minimalist, and high quality, it will never look ugly. It might become boring, but not ugly.

But if its something else, it will become ugly.

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. 
It matters that you don't just give up.”

-Stephen Hawking

Cooler master Silencio 550 would get my vote.

Done multiple builds in it and right now the case is 8 years old, still looks good imo.

https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mid-tower/silencio-550/

 

It got updates through the years and has USB 3.0 today.

And it has a hot-swap slot for an hdd and a built-in SD card reader, simple things but it's stuff like this that makes it feel timeless.

 

The fact you can still buy them in most pc stores says enough about it tbh.

 

That said, it's sadly not going to be around for much longer because they recently got replaced with the silencio S-series. Absolute crap btw because they are better in being an oven than in being a computer case.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3
