Eh, I don't really like the look. I'm done with plastic after my icky red plastic phantom 410

But, the side panels are all steel, as is the frame...I just painted the plastic accents matte black, and they pretty much match the steel. Looks pretty cool.

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

There is no perfect case...

The cases that look good are not functional,

the cases that are functional are cheaply made or dont look good,

There is nothing!!! Nothing!

 

Ive been looking, and watching reviews for ever.

The only case I really like that is functional is the Lian Li PC-v359 but idd need a new MB and CPU cooler.

*Cough* Caselabs *Cough*

Although they are really expensive

You could try custom making/modding your own case?

Cant make a case, its the desk thing all over again.

 

Im not a fan of the look of caselabs cases, or the pricetag.

:(

as I said before, keep telling them they're silly

 

and I agree with you about the caselabs stuff, I think they look like that because it is more about the insides

I really like cube cases.

The pc-v359 looks great, also, this beuty, tho it screams for watercooling. (Next summer????)

Do you think I should buy a used tj07 that is internally powder coated? For aground 250$? Would it be worth it

Narowing it down to:

Ft04.(225 USD) great cooling and temps, love the look,  build quality,  tho there may be some plastic. Major option

Fortress-FT04.jpg

Ft05: (200 usd?)Great look, cooling, build quality, not sure about plastic.

644d02b4_FdjBVvD.jpeg

IN Win 904:(220 USD) May be the most gorgus, but needs new cpu cooler, and has bad airflow

IN%20WIN%20904.jpg

 

Lian li PC-v359: (180 USD) May be my favorite look, great build quality, needs new MB tho

Lian_Li_matx_pc-V359_case_gaming_htpc_th

Lian Li PC-D600: (359 USD) great quality, looks, and screams for wc, tho verrry pricy

I like the FT04, I am not really a big fan of Lian Li cases even though there build quality is killer, 904 is sexy as F*CK but like you said has bad airflow.

Watching some reviews, looks really nice, but some outdated fetures, but im not sure. Still a contender.
