Whats your favorite and sexiest case for your pc

 

The Cosmos II, no doubt.

 

It's huge, so it takes my giant dual socket boards easily.

It's quiet, even if not optimized

It's a tank, It's been dropped before, not a scratch.

The projects never end in my line of work.

In terms of looks, the cosmos 2 and the s-frame are pretty much neck and neck. However, in terms of features, the enthoo primo is pretty much head and shoulder above everything.

Whats your favorite and sexiest case for your pc

If it's one that I own, it would be my only one, the H230.  It's meh, but I ain't mad since I paid for a source 210 and they gave me the H230, which was $30 more (but of course I didn't pay that $30.)

My life is consumed by CS:GO, even though I'm not exceptionally good at it.

In order of priority: GTX 970 Strix, 2 good 1080p monitors, i5 4690k, MSI Z97 Gaming 5 LGA 1150, a job

I really really like the design of the Lian Li PC-v750.

 

Was going to buy it, but close to 400$ for a case is somewhat, harsh on my momentary budget =P

 

I really like the white H630 aswell, although I heard it's mediocre at colling AND silence [which kind of defeats the point]

 

I do use a Fractal Define Mini for my Linux box and it's very very very quiet, so I might go for a Define XL R2 to rehouse my main PC (going air cooling, wc breaking balls)

Frost upon these cigarettes.... lipstick on the window pane...

For ATX Mid tower:  Antec 900 (but I swapped out the Antec blow-hole fan for a Cooler master, pulled out all of the drive bays and machined out the rear fan aperture (it's not quite large enough).

 

Also, thinking of doing to it what I did to my 1200 (see pics below).

 

 

For M-ATX: Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 Series (the tinted side-panel makes whatever you put in it look cool, I just don't like the feet.)

 

 

For Micro-ATX: The EVGA Hadron Air

 

If it get's a decent revision I'm getting one (maybe)...

Well, I only have the corsair 230t right now, and I don't like it that much, little/no vibration protection (except for fan mounts), no cable management grommets, crappy front fan layout, non-removable drive cages.

 

My favorite case is the Corsair Air 540, it has a large amount of space both in front of and behind the mobo tray, I believe has vibration dampening on its hdd cages and such, tons of radiator support, huge window.

I love the Luxe and Primo from Phanteks Enthoo range, but my Orange/Black H440 is amazingly stunning imo. 

All I need to add to make it look better is just some LEDs.

out of my pcs my current one is the one I'm happiest with as I haven't upgraded it since the devil's canyon launch, and part of it is having my node304 itx case which I like quite a lot :)

 

actually that really wasn't that long ago.

The Silverstone FT02B-W will be my favourite case after I've modded it. I'm going to remove the badge on the front and fill in the hole, and then I'm going to paint the aluminium "U" and the 5.25" covers in this colour. I'll also remove the hdd bay and have a piece  made out of sheet metal instead to direct the airflow. It's going to be black and white themed.

 

I might make a build log out of this when I do my next build.
