I'm going to start doing case mods for people (in the Classifieds section) starting sometime this month or next. I need a display piece so people can see what to expect. So, what case should I mod?

 

Needs to be:

ATX Mid Tower or larger

No side-panel window

Power Supply mounted on bottom

$100USD or less

Preferably flat. I don't want some alienware lookin' thing.....

 

What color scheme?

Ex: Black and Red.

 

I'll take the most repetitive answers from this thread and make another thread as a poll sometime in the future.

I would consider the NZXT s430 even though it has a side panel window because of its price-70usd-, build-90% steel-, and simple design. S340-main370xBLK-2.pngproduct page

And so GabeN has told us to march forthith unto the Land of Holy welding our swords of mice, shields of keyboards, and helmets of Oculus Rifts where we shall reclaim it-which is rightfully ours-from the PUNY Console Peasants from whom armed only with mere controllers we shall decimate in all forms of battle and we shall dominate even in their most ridiculous tradition and infatuation of CoD. Yes, my brothers- sisters and trans sexuals too- we shall destroy the inferior of races with our might and majesty. And if any Peasants wish to join us they must speak now or forever perish. -Ancient Speech from a Leader of Old, Book of Murratri section 2

Both are clean and look like they have a lot of room to do something interesting.

uhhh what kind of mods are you going to be doing?  case material and size/modability depends on what you're trying to do.

 

Some cases work better for painting, some for modding Watercooling into, some for just cutting them up, idk, it depends.  

 

I'm using a bitfenix phenom gtx edition to mod, and I'm doing some simple painting and a logo mod.  I wouldn't start cutting it apart though.
