And thank goodness for that. Those HAF cases look like a Transformer that got stuck halfway through its transformation. Kid cases for those that want flashy shit.

Meh...I have the HAF 932. Fortunately, it only has one LED fan...similar to the second pic I posted. It's pretty muted since it's mounted behind the front bezel. I don't care for cases that have more lights than Times Square...but neither do I care for the plain looking cases that so many companies offer. for me, it's just a box to hold the components...I don't want/need bright and flashy, but I don't want an ugly, plain-looking thing either. The HAF cases (except the the brightly lit model in the first pic) tend to fit that...at least for me.

I hear lights and decals make your computer faster.

Hard to discuss taste. It's not bad looking, but I wouldn't trade in my Define R3 for it.

And that's really what it comes down to...personal taste in cases. I care less about how a case look than I do about it's air flow characteristic and noise transference. Noise is perhaps the only negative for me with the HAF cases. With the mesh material that they've used in some of the construction, component noise is a bit easier to hear...so, I have to have quieter components...

Looks are debatable, but I know for certainty that I won't find any Rosewill from local store. Availability is one of my criteria for a "good X".

Back in "my day" we'd say it was "cheesy". And it does look a tad D: to me too.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if this case floats someone's boat then I am happy they found it.
