Hey guys!

 

I'm looking to buy a case, mid or full tower, that is really striking. I want something that is unique and really sticks out but also is still clean looking. I love tempered glass but the standard rectangular tempered glass box is a bit boring for me. I'm planning on really doing this system up with a fully custom hard-lined water loop and need a case that will look amazing. Support for vertical GPU mounting is a huge plus because I find that to be very visually appealing. 

 

Any ideas?

 

Price range is pretty high. Not trying to spend $1000 on a Lian-Li Desk Case though.

My first impulse was the 460X from Corsair but that doesn't have a vertical mount for a GPU.

This was my first choice of case, but I still feel like, even with it's front-panel, it's a bit average and doesn't really do much that's unique. 

 

My next thought was the Deepcool Genome but I don't know how I feel about it's aesthetic. I saw an (as far as I know) unnamed case at Pax that would of been perfect (if it had come with any solutions for cable management). It was fully glass, and the entire thing was tilted down at an angle. It wasn't a square and had very clean angles. The one thing was there was no routes for cables and the entire thing was glass so in the back you could just see the entire nest.

I would suggest the In Win 805 Infinity or maybe Themaltake The Tower 900 But if that's not something of your liking try looking for cases from Lian Li, In Win and thermaltake. 

They make a bunch of weird/Unique cases.

I had forgotten about the In Win 805 Infinity! I saw it a while ago and thought it was really cool but I completely forgot about it. I really like The Tower 900 too. Thanks!

You could also take a look at these cases, Don't know about the prices though.
