What are some underrated cases in your opinion?

 

I love the looks of many cases but they are simply not practical what do you think looks good, case all the things you could want, and is reasonably priced?

 

I would recommend the s340 for example if it were slightly cheaper.

I love my Air 540, many people see it as a brick but IRL it's really awesome with some L.E.Ds attached. Also it's one of those 2 bay ones so it looks very clean, on one side  :P

CPU: Intel i7-4790K @ 4.7GHz --- RAM: Lenovo 1600MHz 16GB --- MOBO: Gigabyte Z97-G7 --- GPU: EVGA GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0+--- PSU: Corsair CX600 --- Case: Corsair Air 540 --- Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61 --- OS: Windows 8.1 --- Monitor: 24" AOC G2460P + Dell 19" --- Mouse: Logitech MX Perfromance --- Keyboard: Corsair K70 (Cherry MX Brown) --- Audio: Sennheiser HD558


Don't buy a GTX 980, it's overpriced! Buy 2 GTX 970s or 2 R9 290s intstead (the R9 290s would even be cheaper)

looks like a solid case seems a bit steep for the the size and things though

 

the S-Frame

Nice aesthetics, but 770 bucks? and reviews seem to say bad routing for cables and stuff

 

300R and 330R

honesty the only thing I would complain about with the 300r is the side window has side mounted fan holes

CM Storm Trooper!  No one recommends this case, yet it has awesome airflow, looks pretty nice (subjective), interesting drive mounting solution, and great size.  

I like it however, it looks like it would limit GPU selection slightly because of the drive bays (I have this problem with my own case atm) and the price for what you get is pretty high Imo at least

would'nt fit my 2 radiators for my GPU and CPU, also cable management was unexceptional 

Thanks for the heads up, I was actually considering this case might look for something else or save up for the s340 now though :/

yeah, if it wasn't double the money, the h440 is a great case for me -the 5.25inch bays being non-existent

Edit:you might want to make sure a rad could fit in the s340, looks a little tight up there

The time @nicklmg quoted me.

who said I did a custom loop? It barley fit the 25mm fans in the first place

you said 2 radiator 1 for thethe GPU and 1 for thethe CPU so I thought you were doing a custom loop but either way its not meant for water cooling its meant for air cooling
