I need a new case for my pc

they're unsightly and unnecessary, kind of like lifted pickup trucks

They're a huge waste of space and look stupid.
I doubt most people are using an EATX motherboard, where a full tower might actually be necessary.
A decently sized mid tower has all of the space you actually need, usually including space for a shitload of hard drives.

I'm actually shocked that Jow Forums doesn't like full towers. You'll install gentoo but not use a real man's case?
>t. mint
What if I have plenty of space and prefer having a large spacious case? Do you prefer sitting in the back seat of a camaro or a Lincoln Towncar?

>real man's case
Extravagance in buying computer parts is associated with children spending their parents' money, not something a rational adult would do.

i won't install gentoo because it's a waste of time. full towers are a waste of space and are an exercise in hoarding shit. you can get multiple terabytes of space in a single drive bay, and it doesn't even have to be 3.5". would you rather have an ugly full tower full of old clicking hard drives or a reasonably sized case (micro atx or mini itx) with a single ssd or hard drive?

Mid towers and full towers aren't that different in price my friend. Just because your dorm room is small doesn't mean that there arent some of us who prefer the luxury of a full sized case.

Seriously though, why the hate for full towers?

realistically speaking, tower builds are the build of the gaymer faggot who has no idea what he's doing and doesn't understand static pressure vs cfm curves or basic thermodynamics

It's like watching a kid designing a gun on paper. Mo bigger is mo better right?

did you not read the text or something? they are wasteful and ugly

>luxury

I have a Corsair 750D, pic related.
It's pretty alright, lots of room but the stock fans are rather noisy.
My biggest complaint is that despite being so spacious, it doesn't offer a lot of mounting options for a reservoir and pump if you want a custom water loop. You'll have to either mount it on a radiator or a fan, or drill into one of the HDD cages to create mounting holes.

Another complaint is that the 5.25" cage is riveted onto the frame of the case. It doesn't appear to provide any structural integrity, so I don't understand why they didn't use screws to make it easily removable.

It has two USB 3 ports on the front. There are probably better options on the market at this point.

Purpose for purpose. I have a nice little micro atx for my htpc. For my desktop I want a full tower. What's the problem?

Looks nice, thanks user.

This.
I love my full tower case.

see, look at all of the wasted space in this case. all of those components could fit into a mid tower. full towers are absolutely unnecessary and ugly.

you do not need one.

We should all just buy macbooks, right?

>implying you can't get smaller than microATX
I made this list just a few hours ago for a pfSense router.
It's obviously overkill for a router but could do your plex home server shit easy.

You could get even smaller than this if you really tried. It'd probably be cheaper too.

I built my htpc years ago. It has a very old i3, 4GB of ram and an Nvidia 720. Does the trick.

How will this faggot ever recover?

Fractal Design Define Mini C without window.
Cheap, sound dampening and sleek looking.

Kinda do regret my full tower.
I had the intention of getting a second GPU to do SLI but shit happened and got in the way.
At least my messy cables fills up the empty void.
