1.5 months - Lian-Li PC1200Plus B.

Before that, I had my Thermaltake Xaser III V2000A for about 4 years until I got sick of the horrid air flow.

Bought my Antec back in Spring of 2000 and am still using it as my main case. Also still using the same PSU which came with the case.

That's awesome. I guess they just don't build them (PSUs) like they used to.

I've had my Antec Nine Hundred for 1 month. It was $150 for the case without power supply. Worth every penny. I'll be keeping it for at least several months.

I think I've had mine for about 6 or 7 years. It's ugly but it's good quality and it's easy to open. When I go to LAN parties I usually think I'd like to replace mine. I even go to the local store and peruse the cases to consider buying one, then I think "WTF for? So it looks cooler? It's a waste of time and money."

BTW, I've had at least 4 or 5 complete new systems in that case, board and all.

Got mine in August 2002, so now ~4.5 years. I like it, its pretty light (aluminum) and I have a fancy blue neon light inside with a window. I haven't come across a need to change it, although the computer inside has been changed once.

Pretty much same here. SOHO case, I just keep updating the mobo, cpu, gfx card etc.

I intend to keep using all my cases until the standard is changed.
