Hi all,

 

I'm going to be building a new PC next month (assuming I can get a CPU, lolz), and I am looking at getting a new case to put it all in. I REALLY like the Dune Pro case but there's some sketchy things going on and I don't actually want to pull the trigger until I see them in people's hands. Having said that, I need something at least temporary (or permanent if the DPC thing goes further south) but I'm kind of...over the whole tempered glass thing. I just want a simple, clean, opaque (lol) case to put everything in. Interested to see if there's something out there that's not just a cube-ish shape with a tempered glass panel.

 

Bonus points if there's something out there in a brushed aluminum or white.

The cooler master td500 mesh might be a nice option, comes in both black and white, and The fractal design meshify series of cases might also interest you.

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

you forgot a hot running case. virtually zero airflow without opening the door and opening the door only drops the temps like 5 degrees.

SteveiJobs: if you are looking for a temporary case that is "simple, clean, opaque (lol) case to put everything in. Interested to see if there's something out there that's not just a cube-ish shape with a tempered glass panel." then there are a ton of cases out there that meet that description but budget for the case is one thing to consider as well as size being the most important factor. these are some cheap cases that might suit your needs. most of them do have a white color even if the ref pic is black. Chassis | Apevia

I think I'm leaning towards the be quiet! Silent Base 802 so I can do front to back airflow. Define 7 being a close second. How's the build quantity on the be quiet! for anyone who has one? This will be all air cooled and I may even forgo a fan on the CPU heatsink if I can get enough air moving.
