Corsair Air 540 or the Obsidian 800/900D are all huge cases with great airflow etc. They can get pretty expensive though

I'm doing an all black build so of course the case needs to be all black. I'm looking for a large case to fit all of the stuff I have planned. Suggestions?

If you plan water cooling thermaltake x9

So I understand you said large cases... But really do you actually need a full tower?

 

Consider my computer (in sig) or PaulHardware's Artic Panther or AwesomesauceNetwork's Hotline PC.

 

The amount of hardware you can fit in a good midtower these days is more than anyone in their right mind should spend on a PC.

I completely understand your point. I have 2 builds one a small one and this cases is to replace my big one. It's basically just to look cool and I'm willing to spend the extra bit of cash to make the build look just a little better. As an enthusiast you have to understand right?

I do, but I guess I just don't personally see how bigger makes hardware look better (I have a thing against hardware dwarfism). Plus if I may be so bold, the full tower market is really stagnant these days. 

 

Anyways the shortlist: Enthoo Pro, Corsair 900D, Caselabs shit.

I guess everyone just has there own things, but you're completely right on where the big case market is right now. Not much new not much cool. Small cases continue to innovate that's why I have the small build and the big build?
