What is your favorite Case?

What is your favorite case and for what reasons?

 

[IH8U]

Now my favorite case is the Antec 900, 4x 120mm fans, 1x 240mm fan (exaust) and it fits my ZEROTherm Nirvana.

Favorite case was the Xaser series (very heavy tho)

Big, lots of air flow and almost completely tooless. I like the front panel connectors on the top or top front of the case because my case sits near the floor and this case has both. One of my favorite features is that the drive bay design allows you to configure your components any way you want with 9 slots you can have any combo of fans and drives. This is the case I am currently using and it's the best case I've ever had.

I like the high-end CoolerMaster designs myself. Also I prefer a matte black finish, minimal lights, etc. I have a few aluminum CoolerMaster cases, but I always keep my main PC enclosed in my RC-631: http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?act=detail&id=32

The "wave" style door covering the 5.25 bays can be easily reversed or removed. It also has convenient audio, firewire, and usb jacks on top of the case. As well as ample cooling and airflow.

Deciding on a case is pretty personal though. Different people have different functions they're trying to achieve, different aesthetic preferences, and different space requirements... But that's the case for me.

I have a coolermaster wavemaster, the thing is built like a tank, but the 4 8cm fans are loud, and they only do an adequate job of cooling.
I have 3 Antec Superlanboys, that are great cases for cooling.
And I have 1 Antec 900 that does an even better job when I comes to cooling.
Get an Antec 900 I believe you will be happy with it.

I use my cats skeleton to store my computer. .

I'm ordering a Antec Performance one P182, it has gotten good reviews and it seems roomy. I don't know yet cause that case would be my first high-end case, well, except ofc for my cat skeleton (also very high-end, fur you know).

cheers

I like the CM 690 for the money:

LC-16M (black). It fits:
- 6 HDDs
- 1 ODD
- 7 expansion cards, including a medium-sized GPU card.
- 4 92mm fans
- 1 80 mm CPU exhaust fan
- SoundGraph VFD media info display with IR receiver
- 3.5" panel devices (FDD bay)

It has remote power down/up with the SoundGraph, looks like a genuine piece of stereo equipment, and fits cleanly in a stereo cabinet.

Yeah, it's a pain to fill it, but the results are beautiful. Only complaint is that the ODD and GPU are tight back-to-back, which prevents use of long designs of either.

I have an antec p180 and love it, but it is heavy, not a lanparty rig. Its roomy, well ventilated and quiet. I wish it had lightpipes for power and hdd led's and an external power button though. I guess they thought it better to be able to lock it shut without power button access than have to open the door to start.

 

[PCtechie]

My favorite case thus far is my Antec 900
Reason: Awesome cooling, my 8800GTX fits perfectly and plenty of room for more upgrades in the future.

I like my Silverstone TJ09 a lot. Plenty of room, great cooling, quiet, no annoying lights. My apologies to all you fans of the Armor and Antec 900, those are very good cases but the lights make me sick

The Sonata III is very nice too - $120 buys you a quiet case and a good PSU, you just can't beat that deal.

 

[geofelt]

My favorite case is the Antec Solo.

Very quiet, has sound deadening insulation on the panels.

No fussy front doors.

No "bling" or lights.

Mid-size; holds what I need.

Very good cooling. At the same noise level, it cools as well as the Antec 900. http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=996&pageID=2739

 

[leo2kp]

I love my TT Armor. Gunna get another HDD cage for some moar intakez tho

 

[turtle1]

I agree with aevm for the same reasons. TJ-09 all the way.

 

[APieceOfCheese]

I sprung for my first high-end case, a CM Stacker 830,when it first came out a year and a half ago and I'm still in love with it. Massive, cool, the case itself is pretty dang light, mostly toolless. It is, however, a bit awkward for a completely internal watercooling loop...

 

[cnumartyr]

My Lian Li PC70B and CM 690.

 

[pongrules]

No apologies necessary, I love my Thermaltake Armor Case. So much room to work in and keeps everything nice and cool. Some people don't like the blue lights, but I think they're pretty cool.

 

[rodney_ws]

Maybe it's too old to even buy any more... but I really thought that Tai Chi watercooled case looked absolutely bad-ass.

 

[jeremyrailton]

my P182 and I love one another, but she is freakin heavy.

 

[stan116]

I just bought the new Lian Li P80 super tower.This case has excellent air flow,with 3 / 140mm fans on the front door as well as a 140mm on the top and a 120mm on thr rear. All 4 / 140mm fans are connected to a built in fan controller. This case also has 10 expansion slots instead of 7.The front also has 12 5.25 drive bays that are all mesh.There's alot of room in this case,and i think its the best case from Lian Li yet.It is expensive $399.99 but its also worth every penny.The front fans cool 6 HDDs and also push air towards your mobo and vidio cards. The CoolerMaster 830 Stacker is also a very good choice.I also own two of them.

 

[skittle]

Another vote for the antec solo. Its quieter than the p180 series (smaller, and more efficient air flow... less fans). Sound deadening panels, no funny front door, HDD suspension... and only $80

Its the perfect mid tower

Favorite to work on Gigabyte 3D Aurora (not 570) 4x120 Aerocool Turbine 2000s (1 on T.R.U.E.)

Favorite for looks ThermalRaight Eclipse (Two of the Gigabyte fans from the 3D Aurora)

Favorite for silence/cooling Antec Atlas 2x92mm tricools on low, 1x120mm Tricool on low

 

[hoxlund]

Sounds perfect for those setups with 790fx + four HD 3870X2 cards.
