Best Looking Pc case

[Julian5]

I am building a new pc (Somewhere along the lines of a 6700k and a 1070) and I need a really good way of showing off my pc, I will probably be using a Raijintek Triton AIO cooler or a swiftech 240-x. Max budget is 300€ for a pc case and 500€ for a desk pc case. The cheaper the better.

 

Was looking at these but im not sure

- I would buy it but its way to expensive, my max for a desk pc case is 500€

- Really like this case but Im not sure, my favourite yet

- Liking this one but still not sure

 

 

any suggestions will be appreciated!

Glass One

 

Why,

mainly because I think if you invite any non-tech savvy guy over to your room, they will go like "OMFG, WTF is that computer. DUDE WAS THAT LIKE $10,000"

Yeah I already get that reaction when I show people my pc with a plastic side window...

 

Currently the thermaltake open air one looks nice to me

Meh, I dont like the empty space in the front

[Enderman]

Anything but thermaltake.

Looks are subjective, pick what you like.

I can see that, maybe the evolv atx tempered glass thing?

[Moonzy]

the desk looks uncomfortable to be using a computer at...

it looks like the keyboard and mouse will be extremely high for your sitting position as the table wont allow you to sit too high due to the height of the tabletop

 

the second one would just gather dust on your components... it's for showing, not very good for day to day use

 

the third one is fine though im not sure if it'll support a triple rad without any issues

 

edit: i thought the triton was a triple rad `-` my bad

I still think the second one would be good looking on my desk though

Since you like tempered glass quite a bit by the looks of it, go for either that Thermaltake case you listed, or...

 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112471

The same brand as the table you suggested. It's more than your PC case budget will allow, but I would genuinely consider it. It's one of the nicer looking cases I've seen.

Alternatively, for a reduced cost, consider both these two cases: the Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV, and the be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900.

it'll look good, for a month or two

 

then your components will be covered in dust, and the noise from the fans will be louder due to it not being blocked by panels and what not

 

but if you're willing to take these trade offs, why not

 

i suggest you have a look at some enclosed case with tempered glass side panels if you're really that showy

That Lian Li one looks nice!

 

Considering the thermaltake open air, the lian li pc 08WX and the phanteks evolv

I dont mind the dust as I have compressed air and I dont mind spending a bit more on some quiet noctua fans

"Best looking" is subjective, I don't like any of these

But I prefer the NZXT

What would you like?

Well... what I like doesn't fit your needs though, I like cases like the In Win BM 639

hmm thats a wierd case, anyways Im going for the thermal take open air case and possibly hardline water cooling (only CPU)
