What are the best Apple looking pc cases?

ShadowTech01

While I do not agree a lot with Apple's decisions and policies, it can't be said that they don't make good looking products. It's a excellent combo of simplicity and futuristic traits that make their computers look professional.

 

I'm looking for cases for upcoming building projects that need to have simular looks. Are there any good cases that could easily make a pc be mistaken for a Apple device? I'm looking for ATX, mATX, ITX, basically anything. It doesn't need to have the whole cheese grater look, but I'm not that picky. Basically the case needs to look like it was designed by Apple. I'm looking at all options.

Maybe a White H510? Wouldn’t recommend it though due to extremely limited airflow.

Airflow is a big thing I need, my creations need to breathe. Thanks though.

So you want an aluminum cheese grater case? I understand there’s one around that is a direct rip of a Mac Pro.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

There was a knockoff Mac Pro case that LTT reviewed which looked pretty good, perhaps you could use that just to mess with people.

Hey there. Here're some suggestions, gravitated towards silver-colored cases (at least, that's my interpretation of "designed by Apple").

  • Dune Pro (Available for $199, Pre-Ordered from Indiegogo): A close replica of the Mac Pro case (E-ATX).
  • LIAN LI PC-TU150 (Available for $97.99 from Newegg): An M-ITX case with an aluminum exterior. Portable handle can be retracted to be completely flush with the case.
  • InWin Chopin (Available for $99.00, Black Variant, from Amazon): An SFF (M-ITX) case with a sleek aluminum exterior. Can be lain vertically or horizontally. Silver variant currently not sold by Amazon or Newegg.
  • InWin 915 (Available for €499 from InWin eStore): A full tower (E-ATX) case with a sleek, elongated cylindrical shape.

These are looking cool guys. Granted the Inwin ones seem a bit off. It case doesn't have to be silver. It could be white of black as far as I'm concerned. I'm looking for kind of a smooth type of case, maybe slightly rounded? I don't know. I'll know when I see it. Thanks again though.

There’s an aluminum case in the back of a lot of nexus mods footage I have long coveted.  They’re too pricey for me though.  Shaped like a kitty.

highly doubt that, they have been giving frequent updates and have previously delivered a near exact copy of the old Apple Mac dustbin

Sure, but how many?  It could be real.  I am perhaps being overly pessimistic.  There’s so many scammy companies on Kickstarter type things et. al. though.  I understand Kickstarter proper has taken steps to get rid of offenders.  I don’t know how well it’s working though.

Yep.  I understand the thing has problems.  Still want one though.
