Help finding something similar to a Fractal design define 7

[jacobosbourne]

I have the "itch" to build something new. But I do not like any of the case out there now, at least the ones I can find. They are all to flashy. I miss the good ole days were a case looked like a workstation and it was clean and professional. like lian-li older cases and fractal design. I still want a tg side panel but as long as its clean. The only thing I can find is fractal design define 7 but the tg version is out of stock or on back order everywhere I look. 

 

 

 

These are the type of builds I appreciate! I hope I am not the only one who misses these types of builds.

Please help!!!

I completely understand, my main PC is still inside a Define R5 Blackout.

 

Here are a few alternatives:

I'm a define fan as,well, but if they're not in stock, maybe the next best thing? A chinese knock off, Thermaltake Suppressor series:

Edit: Looking at availability here, they might not be in stock either.

Was going to comment and recommend the Meshify S2 as well! That is a solid choice.

Corsair 5000X / 7000X might fit the bill, but there are many Fractal Design Define 7s on eBay. Seek, and ye shall find.

Okay I forgot about Jonsbo and Jonsplus (might be too expensive).

Jonsbo D40 - very compact and okay priced imo:

Jonsplus i 400 - more spacious and expensive, also better quality:

You can get both in black.
