What is the maximum you are wanting to spend ? I know Silverstone makes really nice cases.

Ya best bet would be just looking around at sites and reviews, as no one can really tell you what case you will like, it's a personal preference thing.

But depending on your budget, Lian Li make some nice professional looking cases, as do Coolermaster.

I know this is an Australian site, but they have a nice selection to look through.

If you want to have a professional looking case, you should check out the SilverStone FT-02.

Lian Li also makes some nice professional looking cases like the PC-A70F

id say 200 max but if i have to go a little higher than i will go a little higher like the corsair 800D but not sure if that case is good for air since i do not plan on water cooling at all.

WOOO I like that Lian Li case it looks sexy even though it was those blue led fans. at a reasonable price also.


O another thing that i would like the case to have is good cable management.

You should check out the PC-A70F 's overview on Lian Li's site :
http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=337&cl_index=1&sc_index=25&ss_index=61

It doesn't have many cut outs for cable management, but there is a huge opening on the right side of the motherboard tray.

If you don't like the blue fans, you can change them with non LED versions.

SilverStone FT-02.

If you're sticking to air cooling, you won't do much (if at all) better than this.

i was looking at lian li cases and i was wondering what is really the difference in these 2 cases lian li a70f and the b70 case?

 

[Salatheon]

Looking quickly at the 2, apart from price the differences are mainly layout..

Good website that has alot of of pictures of both, both being the black versions.

What's wrong with the 900 O.O...

Unless you need a new look for business/professional purposes, stay with your 900. Saving money is probably more important. You could get an SSD !!!

i wanted to get a full tower case. also im kinda tired of the gaming case look i guess. also i painted my 900 orange lol but i just want a bigger case now.

hmm as i was looking through the lian li site it seems that the case only has a few fans on it. and that if i wanted to add more fans i would have to buy new side and top panel inorder for me to add more fans to the case. so im kinda back to square one.

You want big?

ATCS 840. It's a monster. I couldn't believe it when I pulled it out of the box. It's almost as big as our fridge.

P.S. Check the "Coolermaster" on-line store - they often have really good deals like free shipping and refurbished products.

Also, they have some custom painted cases at their website (not my conservative cup of tea, but if you painted your current case orange, they might appeal to you).

That's a large case......1" wider and 1" longer front-to-back than my Silverstone TJ07. (Same height.)

Still dwarfed by the Lian-Li "cube" case and Mountain Mods cubes, though.....esp. the MM Ascension with a pedestal.

(Pic is a MM Ascension Duality w/o pedestal.)

Now THAT'S a monster!

Could always go with a Cosmos in silver or black. Enough styling cues to be interesting without being over the top:

If you'd like to stay with Antec, I recommend a P193 which looks pretty sleek and professional.

Another case I would recommend is our soon to be released DF-85 (which is a gaming case). The DF-85 is very similar to the Antec 1200 but with more added features like the fleet swap drives and 2.5" sata swappable bay. It is a full tower case so it will basically fit almost all CPU coolers/video cards you put in it.

We should be releasing the DF-85 along with DF-30 (similar to Antec 900) and Lanboy Air sometime next month.
