Can you please post pictures of your cases? I want to determine what case looks the nicest.
I have seen a lot of cases but, without the components actually being in the case, it is difficult to determine what case is going to be best.
What are the most attractive cases in terms of being aesthetically pleasing?
What form factors?
There's a lot of really aesthetic ITX cases out there, but functionality isn't usually their strong suit.
Sorry good question.
Im looking for something ATX
Right now, my top two are:
IN-WIN 909
newegg.com
and the LIAN LI PC-011 Dynamic White
newegg.com
Fractal Design Define R6 Blackout edition.
more rgbs the better, mmhmm
I dunno, Fractal designs are too simple. It's just a box.
Im not looking for something too flashy either but, it just seems too simple.
well that's the point. Functional box to stay out of the way. If you were after tempered glass RGB gaymer cases, should have said so.
Smexy
I thought the initial pic probably gave that away.
Expensive but I always wanted one
ugh. different strokes for different folks I suppose, but those are just hideous.
These so far... they're too nice.
I really wanna see a simple build in that IN-WIN. So far, without seeing one, im favoring the LIAN LI
um, user, why are there fans against a solid piece of metal?
What you mean, you mean towards the right side of the pic?
I get it. Ive got one of those cases but don't like rainbows either, prefer setting everything to one color at a time but able to switch whenever I want.
Yeah, id be about that.
These cases look nice at first but they're a pain to keep clean, dust will get in the cracks and ruin the illusion. They are also super heavy. Cool, but not practical

I'd unironically buy that. Why are 200mm fans or larger no longer used? I'd much rather have one gigantic fucking fan spinning at sub 1000RPM moving 250CFM than a bunch of 120/140mm fans doing triple the RPM and half the CFM.
12/?
there's no industry standard mounting hole dimensions for 200mm IIRC. You could buy a "200mm fan" but the mounting holes could be 180mm, 200mm or 230mm
also the AIO watercooling cartel (Asetek) shitting up the computer business with their 120/140mm only watercoolers

Lian Li cases look the best by far
>putting a NIM-NI case upside down
This one.
I like my meshify c. Its got got the gamer window but still has a simple look to it.
Best mini case for gaming?
I can't stand the ricer trends of glass panels and glowing LED guts and fans. It's gaudy, unaesthetic, and distracting. either make it minimalist or make it industrial-chic
Just get a mac then fucktard
>if you don't like gaudy LED ricer shit then go buy overpriced fisher price toys for homosexuals
accept the fact that you have shit taste
that user has a point though. I have to pay a price premium just to get non RGB/glass window having garbage. Not only that, we're at the point where it's almost impossible to get a board with top tier hardware that isn't covered in gaudy garbage.
Fine.
whats wrong with transparent side panels? i like the convenience of being able to see that my fans are working
This comes down to personal taste. I don't mind side panels nearly as much as I hate the LED ricer shit. But still, there is only one instance where I want to be viewing inside my PC: when I'm working on something inside of it. And when I'm working on it, the side panel is going to be off anyway. I find that the side window breaks an otherwise clean aesthetic.
if you have to wonder if you fans are working, you bought garbage fans. Side windows have always been about LED/cold cathode tube/RGB lighting cancer.
Were pretending it's some kind of new idea and must trash it. I like light up window cases cause they make a nice centerpiece in the living room. Kind of like a mood light.
My camera is awful because my phone is old and sucks, but I stand by this case being absolutely AMAZING as far as aesthetics go. This video does it far better justice than my phone does:
Should have specified to skip to the 11 minute or so mark, or just watch the advertisement for it instead:
Does anyone know if it would be possible to buy a horse shaped computer case. Do any manufacturers make them? I was thinking of something like a model of John Wayne as a cowboy on the back of a horse that is rearing up and kicking its front legs in the air and the mobo etc would be inside the horse. I could modify it so the horses ass and John Waynes ass were where the keyboard and mouse could be plugged in
Wtf did I just read?
I can't unsee this
Any true computer enthusiast can't be assed to deal with led lights in their case beyond their first build because sleeping with your computer still on becomes an issue
/thread
Everyone else is a fag.
>Any true computer enthusiast
>sleeping with your computer still on
I would cream my pants if beige came back.
You're never gonna be a super 1337 hacker like lain, BPS, or Neo if ya don't sleep with your computer still on brah
Daily reminder that the main reason hardware dies is from the expansion and retraction io metals due to the vast temp changes caused by powering on and off devices.
The true pro strats is to leave you PC on at all times.
Would've been 10/10 if it didn't have the gay cooler master logo on it
found a kewl case 4u op
yeah maybe if you buy third world electronics from the poop store.
Not that user, but I thought that image was posted as a cringe or a joke or a shitpost
You know, like most things here are
> Not good at this kid. maybe try instagram or twitter.
>non ironically asks about RGay cases
>thinks someone on Jow Forums would use social media
Ask on /v/, next time
Let me break it down for you using a perspective you may not have heard before.
I've used this board to necessarily fulfill what I want out of you goons.
I've gotten the answers I needed.
I've dominated your board and your just the beta in my thread so enjoy it.
Sorry kid but that's just how it's gonna be.
Speaking of social accounts, grindr is an app you may enjoy when your parents have left the house and you wanna find someone to hang out with that spends most of their time behind gold's gym.
Use Reddit next time to vent your frustrations.
>Let me..
Stopped reading right there. I won't let you anything, faggot.
Have a nice day, dumb fuck.
How do you feel, retard, I didn't even read that post! Haha, what a fucking moron!
Used this case for my last two builds
just ordered this, I really like the straightforward design. "just give me one solid surface of one color assholes"
>your wish is granted
This one is pretty good but I like the meshify s2 more.
Zoomer trash
Glass windows and tasteful RGB is peak aesthetics. Why do I want an ugly boring box in my room when I could have something like this. I'm already paying thousands, might as well have it look cool on my desk too
I bought the O11 Dynamic but not doing the RGB thing.
I have the R5 version... I'm moving to a blackout Meshify S2 when I eventually finish my upgrade. I had to take the front cover of my R5 to get decent airflow.
I like my Corsair 300r. I'll have to dremel out the drive bay to make space for a rad though.
NZXT H500i
youtube.com
are there any good retro beige cases out there?
can someone id this case for me? It is perfection except for the light up fans
I searched for "cooler master active thermal connectivity system" and this came up
appears to be cooler master ATC-201A or some variation of it
>hotboxes with brushed plates on the front
Mirror's Edge
>not getting a domestically produced case with premium build quality for 50$
FD black boxes.
Why are white boxes so hard to find these days?
heres your aesthetic case you asked for
Bad thing about this design is that it cannot be against any wall. If you want to show off the interior you'll be cutting out it's airflow and if you want airflow you won't be seeing the interior. It's made to be in an open space so that's annoying.
Casename?
Nzxt h500 white still has glass panel though
It looks like cum
Oh boy that's a peak zoomer case if I've ever seen one
corsair 450d - couldn't find the windowless version when i bought it but it sits below my desk anyway so not really a big issue. changed out all the fans for better ones. absolutely love the magnetic dust filters.
I hope Phanteks does a refresh version of this with few fixes to make it more practical. Headphone jack next to the back corner usb ports for starters and change the front filters to big magnetic ones that would sit behind the front panel instead of the tiny ones it has now in the small front openings (would be a massive increase in surface area and thus reduce the airflow restriction).
i hope you bought it for a custom loop if you didnt youre a retard and need to kys
White R4 user here. Does everything I need, no windows with shitty rgb nonsense and looks good. Only thing I didn't like was the red led, which I replaced with a blue one.
How many 360mm fans do I realistically need to circulate air and keep the inside of a lian li case cool with the side panel closed? At the moment I have none and just keep the side panel open, but I want to close it to keep dust out.
looks like "AeroCool Aero-300 FAW" clone
