So. I thought about how good Noctuas fans are, what case matches the colors of the fans and wondered why noctua has not  made cases yet.
I would love to see someone like noctua doing their own cases because of the builtquality and the understanding of acoustics.
What Brand do YOU think should make their own cases?

Maybe, but maybe it would look good when the fans actually match ANYTING colourwise ;D

Ahh yes, but the color of noctua fans is just ugly whether they match or not :P

There was a video once where noctua had kinda budget fans on black or gray or something i think.

I hope they will bring those fans at some point. they would be very VERY interesting to me.

I want alienware to sell empty cases, they would probably still be overpriced but I want one of those cases

one of their mItx cases would be nice. just like a steambox with your huge graphicscard parralel to the mainboard n stuff. would be awesome

Samsung is known to destroy any ecosystem they go into, I do not want them to destroy the case market!

 

But I am pretty satisfied with case market so far. Maybe I would like Noctua cases though. They would find a way to make improve the industry!

Hmm.  Noctua and Logitech come to mind first.  ASUS dabbled in cases a while back, but I wasn't impressed.  I love the idea of Steelseries or Razor making a thin case (like an Alienware X51).  Anything small like that would be epic.

Now that I think about it, one of the most limiting factors in case width is the power supply (and GPU but there are extenders for that).  Maybe Seasonic should build a case with a custom psu (that's not actually crap) that can be much thinner.  Just a thought.

I know silverstone is making the best sff psus and alienware is diong cases with risercards for the gpus. now we just need someone to do the psus smaller, the cases (more)elegant and everything FUCKING QUIET GODDAMNIT!!FFUUU why can't everything be quiet?! sorry for that but im pissed by all that noisy fans..

I agree. That's pretty much it from me. I'd love to see some Linus Edition Noctua cases.
