Id like to upgrade my current case I have a Thermaltake Element G (bought it because I liked the look) But it is very tight in side when working on it. I love tinkering with my pc and I am in it a lot, want to got to full atx case for room, but Id like good cooling, must be some what modular (especially drive bays),  accessibility to as much as possible and cable management is important.

Any suggestions ?

budget is about $180-$200 Max

Thank you  :D

Definitely sounds like the Enthoo Pro would be perfect for you. You can pretty much completely disassemble it and it has plenty room for pretty much any build. It even looks pretty badass as well.

 

If you truly love tinkering / case-modding you could save a bit longer and go for a caselabs case. They are very expensive, though. :P

There's also the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe, but I don't know when that will be released or the price.

If Slick was wearing a full suit or a tuxedo, would you regret buying the 750D even more?  :P

Possibly. :P

 

Honestly, I may actually buy the Luxe at some point, just to have it. It looks like an absolutely wonderful case to build in.

Oh damn those are bad ass, gonna wait for them, gonna go for the white one going to go for a Tron themed case  :lol:

There's the Silverstone Precision PS06 if you're interested. I'm not sure if this case is decent or if the higher-end Silverstone cases come in the same color.

Someone also did this.

And these exists.

This is probably the most badass case you'll ever see.  :P

LMAO!!! those tron case are the bomb gonna check out the silverstone case, also REALLY like the ethoo primo bit more then i wanted to spend but I might have to spend the extra.

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and pay a bit more than planned. I'd recommend going for it, REALLY liking a case is important imo. You will probably be looking at the case for a long time, you will regret it if you buy something you don't like quite as much (I've done it in the past, it sucks).
