Full tower case

Alright so for some reason even thought there a re so many cases on the market right now i still cant seem to find one i like. Most cases fit everything i need but i am having trouble with aesthetics. I'd really like to get a full tower and my price range is around $100-$150 and i would love to get a custom made like MountainMods or CaseLabs which i would be whiling to spend $200 for but that doesn't seem to be enough. The most important things to me are good looks, large nice looking window, must fit e-atx, good quality, bigger the better, and good cable management options. 

I run my own indie game company called Color Dragon Studios where we are currently making a 2d platformer game called Small Earth.

I dont know from pictures and videos i have seen it looks really tight around where the mobo, cpu, ram, gpu goes. I think it looks like this to me because of the psu cover which i actually some what like as i am thinking about some sort of graphic that i could have painted on to mach my build. My dream case i think is the 760t but the price is a bit high in my opinion.

You can remove the PSU cover while working inside. In fact you need to. It's not very tight and pretty much anything can be removed.

Just watch reviews until you are decided on it.  The frame being held together by screws is the biggest selling point IMHO

Ya that is really awesome and something that i think most people tend to not pay enough attention to, especially for someone considering painting.

Well reviews say otherwise.

Reviews get the best samples and also don't use it very long.

 

Top fan grille broke after about 2 weeks, front fan grille's clips came broken, the rubber feet came off after about a month, the HDD activity LED doesn't work properly, the window scratches REALLY easily, it doesn't support an H105 on the top (It's your own product Corsair! You could''ve made it a tiny bit taller!), I can go on and on and on and on but I'm not going to. I think I've proved my point.

Well some batch of the product can be bad, that is why you got warranty. Should RMA it as soon as possible.

If you want something big and you like the look of the enthoo pro take a look and the primo it's what I have and I love it. It looks cleaner than the pro with a front fan cover and a lid on the 5.25 bays but it might be a bit out of your price range.

I am the one who goes bump in the night... usually making a sandwich.

Wow. Look at all these Enthoo Pro fanboys... Do you all even own pros?

 

I have one and it's great and all, but there are other things out there. If aesthetics are your main concern, I'd say the 760t is your best best. That's the case I would have gone with if I had the money
