My dream case would be a good metal case that is big enough to fit everything i could ever need and have space for any cooling. It would have a great quality so i never need to buy another case. Design would have to be simple because i like simple case designs

My dream case exists:

I got mine last week. It's IMO the best looking case on the market, but it does have some big issues. Most importantly is that it's designed to be used with shitty slim 200mm fans (of which I've never seen any for sale anywhere loose) - the front panel is easy to mod to accomodate normal fans but the top, not so much... The fact that you have to take away the bended panels over the corners of the back with a screwdriver (4 screws) before you can take off the side panel is NOT a problem though (this is what everyone is bitching about) it was a huge selling point for me as it will be a LAN server and not always where I can see it. No way anyone's going to have time to open it without being seen.

 

It also has poor air flow in general, but that is easily fixed too. I guess this case is my dream case because I can mod it to be. But it does take a bit of work.

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

I'm not too picky on these things, but this is one serious exception. I like everything about the define R4 except the size. Ideally i'd have an mATX define (maybe eventually the define mini r2 will do this), but that's a little bit narrower than the current one - it's just too wide! I'd be willing to compromise air cooler compatibility in order to retain cable management room and yet reduce the width of the tower. That's really my only big complaint as of now! I love the sleek, minimal look on the front and the silence features more than anything else :)

my dream case would have lots of honey-comb mesh, lots of spave for fans and drives, nice clean window, brushed aluminium (coated so i cant touch it) and all matte black.

I would love to have more choices in regard to cube style full ATX cases. The Cooler Master HAF-XB was a dream come true and I immediately got one and like it very much.

A small M-ATX looking kind of case that can fit a full ATX board. I love compact systems but I also love full ATX motherboards. Something like the 350D would be perfect :D

Lanboy air. I'd throw in 9-10 3.5" HDDs into it and not have any 5.25" drives. Also running all 15 fan slots, with thin led fans. Saw a video of it. Looked amazing.

 

I have yet to find a mid tower case that matches or tops the Lanboy air.

 

e: it's only a dream case now due to being discontinued and only available at $250-300. I knew I should have bought it with my build last year, it was available at a decent price then.
