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.

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.

My modded Air 540 build

Go ahead and execute me for this, but the Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 is one hell of a fucking case. It's my favorite.
