Our search continues for the one performance-oriented case with the highest-quality fit, finish, features, and materials. A spate of recent arrivals extend our series out into three parts, so today we see if the second round can top the first.

Answer (YMMV): Thermaltake Level 10 GT.You know the original Level 10 was probably "more elite"

There are some cases CNC made, you should talk about this indipendent manufacturers. On SweClockers I saw the best mini ITX computer ever made, with 2 ssds, 2 fans, a picopsu and a discrete graphic card with riser card.Here is a link to something similar I won at a LAN party. Comes in a badass briefcase. http://nfc-systems.com/mini/

I don't get why they even bother testing with air-cooled components. Cases that can be even considered for this article are pretty much guaranteed to be able to handle that well. It's the radiator compatibility that should be the competition here.Score

"And CaseLabs certainly has the “quality of materials” situation wrapped up with its 2.3 mm-thick aluminum chassis with 1.6 mm-thick exterior panels."
This alone (being the most premium) was enough for the In Win to win,yet the Caselabs does not? It even shares the in Win's Insane price and ridiculously poor cooling performance (unless you heavily liquid cool which it was obviously designed for) This review continues to disappoint. Stick to your guns and decide what ticks your winning boxes already. I'll definitely call bullshit if the In Win walks away with this one. Anyways,there's still Zalman,Lian Li and Phanteks possibly in the running,so lets wait and see.

You don't seem to understand that all three cases in Part 2 qualified for further consideration, but that only one of the four previous cases were even considered high-end. The In-Win case looked better in Part 1 because the other three were so cheaply made that they don't touch the "premium" market.

So Corsair are through with plastic? Bashed them pretty hard ... I'm just gonna chill for the final showdown now,too confused.

So we keep looking. Not finding anything that has the best of everything...could force us to compromise. And the point of this article was to find something that didn't force us to compromise.
Oh boy.

You sir,have opened a pandora's box. There are very few cases that even come close to what you are looking for. That said,I do hope Phanteks got a submission in with their Enthoo. Score

They all suck. Ain't none 'o them designed proper. Gotta be multi-chamber. Rads need 2B in chamber separate from MoBo. Don't wanna be sucking hot MoBo and GPU air into ur rads and don't wanna be blowing rad-heated air into the MoBo chamber but since they all designed with basically one chamber, no choice. Gotta design my own case for it 2B any good.
