Dream Computer Case

moriel5

I would like to invite the community to post their personal preferences as to how they would like their computer case to look like.

 

As for me, I would prefer a case that is white and silver/aluminum, with perhaps a little sky-blue in a few nonoffensive places, while not standing out in any way (that means no RGB).

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.

C700P with the interior layout designed by Phanteks and with Phanteks levels of accessories. But 2x TG panels and more ventilation grilles or bigger gaps for the front and top panels for better airflow. Included 2x GPU support brackets that aren't too huge, and integrated vertical GPU mount support, including a PCIe riser. Thunderbolt 3 on the front I/O with a wireless charging pad on top like the Dark Base Pro 900.

 

not sure if I forgot anything?

That is a point I very much am in agreement with you (though I did not post it in the OP), I'd like to have at least 10 3.5"/2.5" trays, at least 4 5.25" trays, and at least 3 additional 2.5" back trays (all removable), while still having space for large GPUs (and all that without sacrificing obscurity of the case).

Nah screw that. Not ambitious enough.

 

ALL the drive bays. 

A modular system (like legos) made from drive bays.

Want to fit a big GPU? Well add on a few more drive bays. 

Want miniITX? Then you're stuck with a measly sixteen 3.5" bays.

Oh you mean case. Then white tempered glass mid water with front thunderbolt and 3.1 usb and type 3.1 usb with tempered glass and a TON of radiator support with a TON of HDD/ssd support and a psu cover. Yes and it should have good airflow. Like combine the phanteks evolv with the mesify and then add 2 4 drive bay cages in the psu shroud.

but the next best thing is the p400s with i own.

Temepered glass that's only slightly tinted (unlike every other case aside from fractal define c TG). 360 rad support at top and front. 140mm exhaust fan supprt. psu shroud with cable cutouts for gpu and all front i/o in it (all rubber gromets obviously). understated aluminium design with subtle rgb (much like phanteks does). the ability to mount the gpu vertically. maximum of 2 3.5" drive bays as I see them becoming redundent soon. at least 4 2.5" drive caddy's (removeable for that modularity). thats just about it....

 

oh and quality included fans. 140mm and 3 of them :)

I would really like a case that has modular cable management. I mean, make it easy to add and/or remove cable management options so the cables are less cluttered, and you have more space for overall cleanliness. Though this is entirely unheard of.

 

P. S. I'm not referring to the devices, I'm referring directly to the cable management abilities of the case itself.

That sounds awesome, this is really taking it to the next level.

However unless I build a server rack (something that I am really itching to do), I can't see how that would be feasible (aside from the modular part).

Looks OK, but the stainless steel/mirror part of it apparently attracts fingerprints like a magnet.

If we're only going by looks then I just need some solid metal to work with so I can airbrush it and make it whatever I feel like.

Anyone who tells you that you can't do something is unimaginative and probably a coward.
