Ummm... Sexiest? Have you seen the very recently refreshed Phanteks Eclipse P400S?

 

 

 

 

That is sexy

Not at all sexy.

For anybody wondering, the Raijintek Asterion Classic and Plus models will be available in the upcoming weeks via Newegg.

 

In response to an inquiry about US availability of the two Asterion cases:

Hello, I'm really interested in the Asterion PC cases. I have been checking for distributors in the United States on a daily basis and can't find any. I was wondering if the product was slated for future release in the US or if I would have to import. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Sexiest case ever? no.

 

That would be reserved for the NZXT Manta, in ATX or mATX format

 

IF IT FUCKING EXISTED

 

(why do you ignore my pain NZXT?)

The manta is so gigantic you could mod an E-ATX mobo in there if you moved the PSU. ITX my ass.

But, its not a small form factor :(. I mean, mid towers and full towers are great and theyr the best what they do, cable management, liquid cooling and multi-component fixation, but when are manufacturers gonna make real tiny, yet absolutely killer, small tower cases, uh!? Im not talking about Intel NUC's tough xD.

 

Yeah NCASE M1 is certainly the only option out there now, but i suppose everyone would want a computer that fits into our bedside tables more oftenly, no :D?

 

Btw, anyone else thinks one or two years from now that could change? Id love to get a silent and small form factor case so hard :/, without losing on quality outside and on the inside, while being able to hold an ATX motherboard (no need for E-ATX xD).

I've seen mods where people put mATX boards in there.

 

I'd still prefer to not have to mod it, since I'm inexperienced with modding a case, and it would end up hideous.

 

Is the Manta mostly plastic? Or is it actually metal? I can work with metal. Plastic is just a pain in the ass, even if you own a plastic welder (which, I do, and yes that is a thing, a very shitty thing that doesn't work because plastic is a bitch of a material that HATES being melted multiple times)

nzxt uses metal chassis with plasti front, and mostly metal sides

It has 8 slots though. <3

Given the amount of Glass InWin uses, one could argue ALL "temp glass" cases looks like InWin.

Bear in mind, i love the looks of InWin cases, not the functionality.

 

If the InWin 909 wasnt such a pile of shit, i would totally buy it

Wait, what exactly makes 909 such a pile of shit? All the reviews I have read about it have been almost completely positive. Haven't read any build logs using that case though so is there some huge flaws in it? The biggest flaw I can see is the fact that it only has true air intake/output at bottom and rear so it limits the size of rads you can put in but then again 360 and 280 should be enough even for a big loop with cpu and gpu(s) as long as you don't use crap rads and fans.

 

I have been thinking about getting the 909 in silver. I don't currently need that big of a case but I will build a custom hardtube loop with cpu and gpu in it sometime in the future and 909 would be great with that in mind. It's certainly a case you'll use a long time instead of throwing it out after few years. However I'll be upgrading my motherboard/ram/cpu soon and would like a new case for it. I'll most likely go with Kraken X62 or something until I can put in 500e+ to custom loop. For that Kraken Rajintek Asterion Classic would do well enough and be much, much more cheaper than 909. I'm just afraid it wouldn't be big enough for the custom loop in the future. Then again it's so much cheaper that I could just sell it and then buy whatever is coolest when the time comes to make the custom loop.

Dear God.  I created a autonecroing thread...
