I wasn't sold on the Cosmos II until I pulled it out of the box... holy hell that's an amazing looking case.

The projects never end in my line of work.

Blasphemy :-

Define R5, looked all right in pics/videos and everyone seemed to rave about it. I liked the non flashy idea so I ordered one.

When I got it it was TOO monlithic just like a BIG black square box, not bad enough looking to regret purchasing and get a new case just larger, more boxy and plainer than I expected.

I wish they made a Matte finish version of the S340. :(

The in win GT1, I got it off a combo deal on newegg when i built my first pc. I thought i liked it in picture, thought it looked kinda ridiculous in person, but maybe I'm not really into that thing..I've got an eye for fractal cases I've had an arc midi r2 and now the define r5 in titanium grey and I've loved them both before i even bought them.

The black version felt like it would be really boring to me, the titanium really pops and looks nice.

Color Edition. https://nzxtcorp.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/p1000787.jpgBut you need a rattlecan or deal with the accent. Not a fan of it imo.

Oooo, I have a blue build so this would match perfectly! Although I am in a $560 debt after I bought my Nexus 6, so this won't be for a while.

I used to own the level 10 gt for me personally it looked pretty good in person but it only lasted a week or two >.< and it's a fucking dust magnet too.

 

silverstone tj11 is one of my personal fav case aside from corsair 900D that I own that not only looks fucking sexy in pictures but totally mind blown the bejesus out of you in person specially the nice craftmanship that went with it.

 

I don't own a Fractal Core 1000 (usb 3 one) but I build a cheapo 339.31$ worth of rig with it on a a6 6400k just for word processor and browsing and a little dota 2 and the Fractal Core 1000 looks fucking sexy in person than in picture at least the way I see it.

Live your life like a dream.

It's worth it. Cablemanagment is a dream on this thing. Used 4 zippies for the entire assembly lol. 70 well spend dollars.

I'm thinking i just cant get with the design or something it might just not be for me i prefer simpler cases, so i guess that's why I'm kinda drawn to fractal cases.
