Looking for that special ONE. (case)

Im looking for the best case to build in and showoff my hardware for my future build.

Tempered glass is something just awesome and kind of a must.

Been looking at phantek`s evolv tempered glass edition and inwin 805 as candidates priced $279 and $179 respectively. AUD***

Are there any similar or better cases out there.

"mmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........aaarrllaraaarrraallarlrrrrrgggggg tempered glass".

How about the new Corsair Crystal Series 460X RGB or the standard 460x. That should be enough tempered glass in one case to satisfy your needs. Unsure about the price since it's only been announced.

Lian Li's tempered glass case looks awesome. But I don't think anyone can afford their cases lol

 

Look up the PC-09 and PC-010

Desktop: i7-6700K / Asus Z170 S / H100i V2 / LPX 2400Mhz 16GB / 960 EVO 250GB / 2x 860 EVO 500GB / RM750i  / NZXT H440 XB271H + Z22n Monitors

Laptop: Thinkpad T450s / i7-5600U / 12GB / 860 EVO 500GB

I was about to buy an Evolv ATX but then went down the route of loving the PC-07SW from LianLi.

 

There are a few options for these sorts of cases, but mostly you're down between Corsair, Lian-Li, Phanteks, InWin and Caselabs.

I think the best bet you will have for tempered glass and money wise is definitely Phantek, they have a massive range of gorgeous cases. I'd personally definitely go for the Evolv ATX, but I think thermaltake do a nice case if youre looking for a more open glass build: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/thermaltake-core-p5-black-clear-acrylic-mid-tower-gaming-case-horizontal-vertical-wall-mountable-w-o
Be Quiet's Dark Base Pro 900 may take to your fancy too: http://www.bequiet.com/en/DarkBase900
As everyone has already said, Lian Li does a beautiful range too but yeah they are really costly.
Bitfenix are do some pretty decent cases also like their aurora: https://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/aurora
If all else fails and you can't find the exact case, they actually also do tempered glass side panel mods on this website also:

http://mnpctech.com/mnpctech-clear-case-pc-panels/
There's a couple more but you can navigate through the website pretty easily :D good luck

thanks for the tips.

yeah the Be Quiet dark base pro looked pretty good.

The inwin 805 as poor airflow(intake) although $100 cheaper than the Phantek.

So many choices wish i could have all. :|

The bitfenix might have jumped to the top of the list tho only $149 AUD and looking pretty good.

Yeah definitely and they are good cases too! Not a standard run of the mill case either as most people get NZXT cases :) (To be fair though I'm just as guilty because I love NZXT cases)
