Posted May 12, 2013 Sorry to keep using other peoples ideas and slightly modifying them but what is a case that you think is beautiful My two are these :- Corsair 600T Corsair Obsidian 900D in white, just love it but I'm not sure if it's real or not, I can't tell but still looks pretty nice I only wanted to post one but I couldn't pick between the two DESKTOP - Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H Processor - Intel Core i5-2500K @ Stock 1.135v Cooling - Cooler Master Hyper TX3 RAM - Kingston Hyper-X Fury White 4x4GB DDR3-1866 Graphics Card - MSI GeForce GTX 780 Lightning PSU - Seasonic M12II EVO Edition 850w HDD - WD Caviar Blue 500GB (Boot Drive) / WD Scorpio Black 750GB (Games Storage) / WD Green 2TB (Main Storage) Case - Cooler Master 335U Elite OS - Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 12, 2013 Not keen on the 900D its just too big and bulky, doesen't look particularly nice imo, come to think of it I am not a massive fan of most Corsair cases, the 650D looks ok though. My personal highlights in the case world would be the Bitfenix Shinobi if it had a bit more metal and a bit less plastic and the Silverstone TJ08-E On second thought the original Cosmos and Cosmos S from Coolermaster are really nice looking cases. http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/shinobi/ http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 12, 2013 I love the clean look of the 900D, if you need the space, I would recommend the 900D :) My Sig Rig: "X79 (3970X) -Midas"http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wsjGt6" "Midas" Build Log - https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/59768-build-log-in-progress-code-name-midas/ "The Riddler" Custom Watercooled H440 Build Log ( in collaboration with my wife @ _TechPuppet_ ) - http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/149652-green-h440-special-edition-the-riddler-almost-there/ *Riptide Customs* " We sleeve PSU cables " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 12, 2013 I love that simple elegant style but on the Bitfenix I would also like a little more aluminium or aluminum as American's seen to pronounce it The Shinobi is a cheap case and it shows, just like in the unboxing Linus did when I first pulled the front bezel off one of the plastic clips broke, the fan filters are awful and have gaps around the side that let tonnes of dust in and there's really not room for cable management inside. Doesn't cost a lot though as far as bang for buck goes its great and has good looks all be it made of plastic, a upgraded model with aluminum front and top panels would be so nice, even if they used that plastic aluminum effect that doesn't get fingerprint marks.

Posted May 12, 2013 Really aww could you get a few pics, I can't tell if that case it CGI or real, I'll leave it to the experts to decide I'll be build logging it - I was originally going to go with the STH10 but that worked it to be $900 before painting and shipping so I've compromised and gone the 900D. Caselabs sucks as far as their pricing goes. $500 for the case and $400 for radiator mounts and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
