Looking for attractive & functional new case

gnomicidal · Jun 12, 2013

Basically I feel like my current case (Antec Nine Hundred) has gotten tight inside. I started feeling this when I put in my GTX 780. Cables are kind of every where and it's just not a great situation.

I'm torn whether to go for a large-side mid tower or just go all out for a full tower. I've prowled some towers on Newegg, but the highest recommended ones like the HAF X just don't look attractive to me.

Is there a tower out there that is a good mix of minimalism and function? I try to shy away from excess LEDs, windows, etc.

I guess you won't like the NZXT Phantom (white).

I looked at the Fractal Design and really, really like the way it looks. Your personally testimonial on how it's worked out would be great.

I heard there were some instances of getting warped panels and such.

Depending on your budget I would suggest:
Corsair Obsidian 800 or 900
Silverstone Raven 1 or 4
NZXT Switch 810 or Phantom 820
Lian LI A76

Attractiveness is something only YOU can determine.

You might look at the lian li cases.
They have superb quality, and some are very conservative.
Here is one example, the LIAN LI PC-9F Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower :

gnomicidal :

I have the silver windowed version. I found the build quality to be excellent the side panels are rigid and have a nice sound dampening material. idk how that would even get warped. i have had people over who would take off the side panel and drop it not expecting the considerable weight. lol. Its wider than most cases so you can have all your wires easily hidden. I took out all the drive bays and mounted SSD's behind the mobo tray too, tons of room. the only thing i had a problem with really was the white expansion slot covers, so i painted them. when i get it clean and the way i like i'll be happy to provide pictures. also there are a ton of reviews on youtube. hope that helps anything else let me know.
