Hello people. What is the case you prefer most, even if you don't have it? I want to see which ones i should consider looking for my build. Would prefer ATX, but hey, it's your favo(u)rite, so i can't set a barrier. GO  NUTS YALL!

S340 and 450D hands down...

So I've started drawing up soft plans for a new PC build, but my problem is that the vast majority of cases are either just boring, or ugly as all hell. For me, the case should be something that's really pleasing to the eye - it's the first thing you notice about a PC, and it's also probably somewhere pretty prominent. I don't want to spend loads of money on components for a machine that's going to be ugly. I eventually settled on Lian Li and InWin (super expensive, but they do some great looking cases).

 

My search also gave me an idea, I can't be the only one in the community looking for a good looking case, so what are your favourites? And why?


my current favourite is the InWin 909: http://www.inwin-style.com/en/gaming-chassis/909 with the smaller 904 in a close second. I really like the single piece of aluminium paired with the tempered glass. I've heard they're pretty difficult to work with, but that's a case I'd love to have on my desk.

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv tempered glass edition is probably the best looking case i know off tbh, great case and it looks just crazy good

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

It's a great looking case! I really like the whole sheets of glass as side panels that we're starting to see more of.

Be Quiet Dark Base 900 Pro. Love the minimalistic non-flashy case. I don't want my case to grab as much attention as what happens on the screen. Plus it's silent, and it has a Qi charger on the case! Which is awesome!

Personally, I LOVE THE NZXT S340 & S340 ELITE. 

There are no words to describe it's beauty.

It's sort of ironic, that I love the case but I do not have it, I cannot afford it. lol, either way I am getting it soon and I am very hyped. Although, aside from it's beauty. I was thinking of getting another case (yes even after what I just said), for the sole purpose of having vertical gpu mounting.

 

I was wondering, what are you favourite cases? I am looking for one with as I said, vertical gpu mounting & a good cable management system.

 

ALSO I was also thinking of just modding the case to support vertical gpu mounting, but I wouldn't know where to start.

NZXT manta probably :P 

 

Is it a giant mini ITX case? Yep

Does it support dual 240/280mm rads? Yep

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

That's my favorite case of all time. It's almost mythical though - VoodooPC only sold those cases to previous customers, and they were sold just before they got sold to HP. If I ever run across this case, I would literally drop $1k+ to have it.

 

My second favorite case (this one I own) is the HP Blackbird 002 case. I'm going to strip it down, and have it powdercoated in some crazy colors after I mod it.

 

Third favorite case is probably the Silverstone Raven RV001

 

Fourth favorite would be the TJ07/murderbox

 

And last, but not least, I enjoyed the old Alienware cases (the OG cases, mind you - the ones that were custom painted, and all metal. Those things were sweet.)

Hey! New SIgnature!

Yeah, for me it's the S340 too. My new PC will be built in that case (probably the windowed black one, but that one with purple lightning is very nice too)

Been a year and I still love my Corsair Air 540. It's pretty easy to get a clean cable management in the front thanks to the ''two chamber'' design. :)

 

The new Corsair crystal cases with the tempered glass is also pretty sexy though.
