Case

Whats your favorite case brand ?

[Arya]

Wolfie(tm) brand. I rarely keep my cases stock, usually I'll apply my own choice of paint and remove any badges. Sometimes I also change details like fan grilles or replace glass sections with other materials.

My absolute favourite brand is Cooler Master. They're sharply priced, well built, offer good modularity and are easy to work on. I also really like Corsair and EVGA, for the same reasons.

My least-favourite brand is NZXT. Ten years ago I bought an NZXT Phantom for my first custom build, and it was terrible. It was made of tinfoil and the front drive bays were hidden behind a plastic door. The door's hinges weren't properly treated and began to rust, and then eventually the snapped under the weight of the door, which fell off. I still haven't forgiven them.

Fractal Design are my favorite. Sleek, tough, versatile, and reliable. Damn, I sound like a salesman, but its just true.


Im contemplating a "Deus Ex" build with the Meshify case, heh.

Lian Li are great, their build quality is excellent and I love their minimalist styling. I just wish they'd been more available over the last few years, I've always wanted to build with one but they haven't had much presence here until now.

Australia, Melbourne. Lian Li never had much presence here, they sold wall-mount cases for a while but never anything gaming oriented. Which is a real shame. Checking the local suppliers, I don't think they sell here at all anymore.

Im in Melbourne also and build plenty of pc's. The case that ive used for my latest build is the best case ive ever seen and built in. It looks great has plenty of room and so modular makes installing tricky components a breeze. Thermaltake View 71, best case of all time IMO

I also have a build in a view 71 and it is great but it's heavy, I also have a build in the core v71 that is basically the same case just lighter with one tempered glass panel instead of 4. Both are kickass cases to build in.

I also really like my corsair air 540 now with an improved 740 but you need more desktop space for the cube case.

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

Corsair, just not those cheap SPEC cases, those are trash.

[Astraea Kisaragi]

Antec, because thats what I have now.

Otherwise would love have a case like this.

Yeah, the view 71 case looks pretty cool, if I was made from money then I would make superbling build to blind people with at Twitch. BlingEnvy 9000.

So tell me what Im looking at here.




I like TT as well.

My favorite Case Brand will always be Cooler Master. I like the modularity and the huge Store to by add on or custom parts for it.what I really dislike thos I the price which is not always justified. I mean like the Tempered Glass Side Panel for 50€ when you get for 70€ an entire case from them with the same glass panel...

Oh and what I like too is that the offered some Nvidia Edition Cases. Not because I'm a Nvidia Fanboy but because the look nice then a generic one color case.


I pretty much dislike NZXT because of the way they look inside espacially with no rubber grooms but only a shield that hides the cut throughts.


Lian li not only have minmalistic cases but really cool limtied etidtion cases like globes or small ships with look really cool but are with up to 4,000$ way to expensive even for me.


Other cases I'm really intrested in and really want to build one one day are table cases. Must be fun to have a desk which is the computer case.

Every case from every brand has some sort of problems with it. Not to say other case manufacturers are bad or anything, but so far my favourite brand of all was Silverstone.

[Mossy Snake]

I like Phanteks and Fractal Design

Solidly built, decently priced, and easy to build in.
