Nice Computer Cases?

[Explicative]

CoolerMaster and SilverStone make the nicest cases I've seen, aside from this one high-end Japanese case company whose name I've forgotten. Here's a link to the SilverStone:

Thanks guys..

Actually I was looking for nice ones in General.. I didn't make up my mind yet and I just wanted to look at everything and decide!

Thanks again..

btw. Are there certain specs that I should be looking for and specs that I should avoid? In the cases I mean..

For example the front USB ports are a must now.. what else should I look for.. or avoid?

antec p106? might be my next case personally.

If I didnt chose Lianli over Antec I would definitely take that case... 2x120mm fans= quiet and cool!

Not bad looking either

Raidmax Samurai 908

I like some of the Raidmax cases. The one linked above is the closest one I am seeing to the new Alienware cases. Looking forward to these coming out locally some time in June.

lol, the thermaltake tsunami isn't too much of a coolermaster wavemaster theft.....

Here are some really nice cases:

-Cooler Master Praetorian

-Cooler Master ATC-110

I really want the ATC-110 but they are super rare (or at least very hard for me to find). Dazzla has a case like it. Not the same, but like it. The Praetorian, I think, is somewhat like the ATC-110 except without the front door or whatever you call them. Oh yeah, the ATC-110 is expensive (or at least that's what I heard).

EDIT: Not the 21" monitor review (turns out it's 20" :p)

I went looking and quoted Dazzla in his Logitech DiNovo Review. Go to page 4 of the thread for this quote and more:

It's a Coolermaster 111C, unfortunately Coolermaster discontinued the majority of their range  I went through hell to get this case

Then the ATC design team left Coolermaster They've got their own case company now. The difference with my case being that it's had all the fans replaced with Ys Tech silent fans and there's Akasa sound proofing inside I've also got 2 side panels, windowed and without window. All the former ATC design team left and created:

lian li all the way

thats the case ive got, its nice, pretty quiet, big, cool, got a removable mobo tray meaning you dont have to take out all you cards to slide the mobo in and out. though i wouldnt recomend it cos of the price. personally i think some of the cheaper cases ive used are just as good really.

what ever you do, stay away from Scorpio cases...they are some of the biggest pieces I've ever seen...

[ElectronicRealm]

cases with front soundcard ports are useful, trying to reach my earphones from the back of the computer is anoying as theres so little slack my face is practically on the moniter, my case has a port for earphones on the front, but my soundcard doesnt wanna know

Antec has never truly made any case on their own. They have rebranded cases. Their LANBoy case is an after market, one of the cheesier companies like Skyhawk.

what about thier solution and lifestyle series? whatever you say :sleep:

myself i am liking the lian li 6070b case. its got soundproofing inside too, and though are are negatives like insolation counteract the heat dissipation through aluminium and front door give less air intake in front and its pricy - its still an awesome case and is my next purchase (probably...)

That looks sweet...until you actually look at the airflow...that'd be HORRID. I can't believe the psu they're suing...they're pushing all this hot air into the psu (only a 350W) with no fan to push it out...sure it will eventually be pushed out, but it's still a bad system that will overheat the psu.

I LIKE the fan at the bottom...but I hate how there's no other exit for the air.

Look at the pic of the airflow...it shows the air going into the pci slots...it won't. If you have a powerful graphics card that produces a lot fo heat, it will overheat very quickly.

I gotta love to laugh at this line on the page: "The Nexus Breeze case has no other ventilation holes because these holes would interrupt the created airflow." Why do I laugh? The picture is just "ok let's shove all the air currents into the power supply, which typically is ALREADY the hottest place in the computer.

I really wish that case were better designed...it looks so nice...

umm.. I can buy those up here in canada... [ATC-110]

[+Random Stranger Subscriber¹]

this thermaltake tsunami (without the window) is sweet - and it has 12cm fan x4 - awesome.

its the first thermaltake case i like which look professional and not a kid gamer toy with lots of colors and x'es.

however i cannot find any review on it - is it new? is it easily available in canada? reviews?

that Nexus Breeze looks good too... i found it on sale around here in canada and its $289.99 canadian dollar - pricey as hell.

without any review to be found and price to compare to i dont know - tell me what are the prices on it in europe and if you have reviews???

and that airflow does seem a little suspicios...
