Hey all! I am building a new PC and decided this time around to not reuse my case. It's old and a little dated with no USB 3 ports on it even /scoff lol #firstWorldProblems.

 

Anyways I want to see what you guys recommend or can come up with. I looking at around up to $200 maybe 250 for a case but might go higher for something truly exceptional.

 

I really like black/red or darker charcoal/gunmetal colors, sleek contemporary lines/looks and I think i'd really like a tempered glass side as well. Let the games begin!!! (queue maniacal laughter)

 

Thanks LTT Community!

Thanks Densetsu! I REALLY like this case do you know if they make a full atx version of it? Call me Old School but I really prefer full atx towers.

 

This looks awesome!

Haha, a lot of the people on the forum don't even watch his content anymore (or at least as much as we did before).
About time you joined in the banter though! ;)

They do not make a full ATX case, but there's very few things a Full ATX case could hold that this couldnt. 

  • 6 included HDD bays, up to 11 total (and that doesnt include dedicated SSD trays)
  • Dual 360 RAD support, even up to 420 at the top

What kind of system are you building? Do you have a planned system parts list?

All very strong points of which I considered myself. I always think to myself oh but what if I need blah blah blah in the future and so buy a full atx case and never end up using it.

I've poked around all over the internet looking for cases and I think I am going with the Define afterall.

 

Thanks for the input everyone!
