Posted January 28, 2013 A year ago I was looking for new case. I look up bunch of cases in two price ranges and started eliminating them. I have various reasons why I bought case I have now. I want to hear what are your reasons when picking a case. Don't tell what case you have, there is another thread for that. Just tell what features you want to see in case. Fanboys can identify themselfs ;) Here are mine: - Manufacturer: Well known and not in my black list. - Price - Midtower, size: it had to fit under my table. - Features: fan mounts, pre-installed fans, 5,25'' bays, I need 3 atm -> limits some good cases out. Cable management, interior color. - Looks. I don't really like window or leds in my desktop use ans aince it sits under table, those don't really matter anyway. I like special design however so basic shape was out. If I would get case now, there would be some things diffirent. less 5.25'' bays, support for 240mm rad, maybe option for window. ^^^^ That's my post ^^^^ <-- This is me --- That's your scrollbar --> vvvv Who's there? vvvv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 28, 2013 - Price/Material. It's very rare to find a case made out of said material being sold so cheap...Cheaper than most of the cases I see recommended here. - Looks. The material certainly helped here. I much prefer classy cases to the cheesy ones. - Layout. This is the give-away...Inverted ATX, back-to-front airflow and the PSU's mounted in the front. More than anything else, this is why I picked the case I did. It's so unusual. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 1, 2013 To preface this, sorry if this analogy offends anyone. I pick my chassis similar to how girls attract my attention... First is all about the looks; sleek and sexy is good for me. After that it comes to the actual usable real estate inside the case and how much I can customize my internal setup. Cable management is a must. That's just a few things I start with. Also I don't like cheap dates err cases nor do I like overly expensive ones. Cheers.
