Hello everyone.

As the title says i need tips on mew cases for my computer build that i'll do in 2-3 month hopefully. my budget on the build is totally around 2500 dollars for thosecwho wonder.

as for the chassi i have been looking around abit but i have no idea of a good well build and ventilated chassi.

the price isnt a problem, ( even been thinking of 900d or cosmos2) although ill go a tad bit over the budget on those cases.

what i want from the case is it to be well build, not alot of plastic and such, and well ventilated. a side window isnt a must because it will stand underneath my table.

Id also like if the case is some "future proof" so to say.

hopefully this text made some sense:P 1am and im really tired.

anyway thank for ya help, and answers is always appreciated.

I gotta recommend this!

It's a Thermaltake Level 10 GT, and it has outstanding reviews, I've used a cheaper Thermaltake case before, as well as several peripherals and haven't been let down yet.

What style case are you looking for? Are you looking for something that is gamer/ LAN oriented like the Thermaltake level 10 linked above, or are you looking for something that will blend into its surroundings more, like a high end Lian Li or Silverstone? Cases are really one of the more personal parts of a build, it all depends on what style you're going for.

i wont be doing much LAN it will mostly just stand underneath my table. possibly id like it to be a full tower but that isnt a must, i like disctrete cases with good airflow. as long as its not alot of plastic im fine with almost most cases

Do you want a mid-tower or a full? Are you going to do water cooling (maybe in future' date=' yes or no?)?[/quote']

dont know what the future beholds on the watercooling front for me :P but i like discrete cases and id like to have a fulltower since i have a midi now and want to try another size. i also find that a full tower is more of a future proof case to use for a longer time than a midi one due to the size.

Well then I think the 900D is the one for you, :) it has plenty of room, great cable management capabilities, you can stick 5 radiators in that thing (if you wanted to lol), many, many possibilities for water cooling, it's got everything you need and is definitely future proof. ;)
