I wish I could get an R5 for my old rig that's in the works, but I have to get the Define XL R2 since the board is too phat.

 

damn phat motherboards. I've always wanted Asus-WS boards but they're some weird workstation size standard that apparently doesn't fit in most mid-towers, as lets say a Define R5.

In all honesty, I cannot answer that because I have only ever had this one really crap case. 

 

As for cases I think i like, I go Corsair 780, 380t or most things from Phanteks.

NZXT S340 great value(probably the best on the market) but sucky air flow.  It's pretty quiet though.

It's like no one read the "under $50" part...

THIS IS MY SUPER TEENY TINY SIGNATURE!

Ain't it just the cutest little signature.

Some would argue it is the cutest little signature ever.

We're trying to help you, you could be a bit kinder.  There aren't that many decent cases under 50$  You didn't even tell us ITX micro ATX, ATX, Full ATX etc.  Look on PC Part picker.  Get a Cooler Master ITX case they're cheap.

its hard to find a quality case for under 50 dollars. my favorite cases are pretty much anything on the higher quality side made by in win or anything made by parvum for under 50 dollars i would check out the bitfenix neos or the nzxt source 220 they are not super attractive but they get the job done

Under $50?? Wow. Uh, I don't think I'd ever buy a case that cheap, except maybe the BitFenix Comrade (white version) But I don't think it's available anymore.

Uh, it's still available but it's gone up from $49 to $66.

Edit: NVM, the Thermaltake Core V21 is only $39, an AMAZING price for a brilliant case, I'd buy that shit and be proud of it.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

If you are willing to spend just a bit more you can get the Fractal Design Define R4. Its the case I use and I love it to death. Kinda, big and roomy, reasonable modularity, lots of space to expand and it looks hella sexy.

heys guys,

 

so if you had to choose one case and one case alone and stick with it virtually for ever. which case would you get the least sick of seeing.

this is mainly about looks but also think about wtercooling options, portability and the space it offers in general.

 

im torn between the in win 909 and a case concept of my own design.

 

so tell me about your "favorite" case. wich case cant get boring to look at for you and would you choose it.

My choice would be the NZXT Phantom (1st gen), its big, beautiful, and unique.

 

Side note: big, beautiful, and unique are probably the same reasons why @Godlygamer23 likes me so much :). (XD, I'm terrible, but great)

my vote is for the ncase m1 its simple and amazing never get tired of looking at it

quite unique and i definitly see the benefits but arent you worried about expandability. that case really limits you in terms of what you can get in the future. but for a lan rig its perfect yes

Caselabs in my opinion 

quite expensive but i agree on the looks and build quality. if looking for long term theirs are probably the best overall. only negative is the price point and the that it could be too huge to place on your desk.
