msi fanboy

Not an MSI fanboy...

 

In fact, I personally think ASUS is better than MSI at making motherboards....

Any and all cases are fair game. If you're like me and can't decide on one, then you can specify your top 3 favorites instead.

 

Mine are:

1. Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ATX

2. Corsair Graphite 780T

3. Fractal Design Define S

My friend didn't realize until today that his graphics card was worth $1000

Cases have changed radically over time and are very sensitive to hardware trends as well as fashion trends of the moment.

 

Try to compare today's top selling cases with those of ten years ago. They look very different from one another. The current trend has been to offering a very open interior build. Less is more.  Ten years ago, we were deep in the era of the Antec Sonata and the Antec 900 line. Full towers were more common. And there was a trend towards gaudiness and bling, for lack of a better term. The more bling, the better it seemed.

 

Not today.  Today, the style is towards simplistic exterior designs with the bling, if any, on the inside of the case.

Why this is so is a function of hardware trends among enthusiasts.
 

  • We have moved away from DVDs and Blu-Rays, to the point where most people are not even putting them in their systems anymore. SSDs are the rage.  
  • Part of this case redesign is due to the ubiquity of AIO coolers and the desire to support both 240 and 280 mm sized AIOs in both the front and top of the case. To do that-- something has to give. It's hard drive cages.
  • The multiple hard drives which used to be commonplace have been de-emphasized. Whether this is due to the increasing ubiquity of the NAS, the effects of SSDs or simply larger and cheaper 6GB/sec magnetic HDs is hard to say.  Whatever the case, most of the mainstream cases aren't offering a whole lot of hard drive cage space.
  • PSU shrouds are the new trend. I'll be amazed if there are more than a handful of cases at the end of 2016 that are big sellers in the enthusiast market without PSU shrouds.  


I am a fan of the Define R5 and the NZXT H440 which I think are holding the limelight currently.  Five years from now, they will probably look dated as hell too. And ten years from now, iffy, old-fashioned if not quaint.
