Good cases?

I'm building a new PC, and I need a case. I'll need one that supports a full ATX board, and possible 2 GPUs. I want ti to be nice. I've seen the Enthoo Evolv ATX TG but I feel it's overused, and I don't want TG on the back of the case.

 

Any reccomendations for good cases?

Budget?

Oh - and the inWin303 is pretty nice.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

The cases everyone tends to recommend are the Nzxt s340, the Fractal Define R5 and what myself and my wife are running. The Phanteks P400. All of these cases are built well, have good cable management and good customer service. 

 

Here are pics of mine and my wife's cases. Mine is a P400S with acrylic window and my wife's is the P400 with tempered glass window.

The 750D is nice, as well as any of the S340 line, I would also check out other cases by Phanteks as I think their entire line up is pretty damn sexy.

Note, the Enthoo Pro M is pretty cheap, not widely used from what Ive seen and one of the best minimalist cases out there IMO

if you´ve got no problems with huge cases, maybe the bequiet SilentBase 800 or The DarkBase lineup is for you...

quiet but more modern looking cases can be found in nzxt´s lineup.

if you've got no budget and just want a good looking one, inwin is just nice, especially their infinity mirror case.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108502 (the $250 infinity version, the others are only $169)

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811854042 ($99, much more affordable)

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139032 ($139, non TG but a really good case for SLI)

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139085&cm_re=460x-_-11-139-085-_-Product ($135, good overall case with TG)

 

If you think the Evolv ATX is overused, I wouldnt recommend the S340 / P400, because those are probably even more popular than that! (For good reason though) I tried recommending cases not everyone has
