close to 10 years. Supermicro 760 I bought the case, because it's huge, accomodates lots of fans, and is built like a tank.
It's had lots of mobos thru it.

I think that my Add. 7896 listed in my post is the OEM for that Supermicro.

Thanks.

C2D spanks it but I can still do what I want when I want without a performance hit.

 

[vi edit]

I think I've had it since around 2003 or so. Antec Sonata.

 

[NatePo717]

Had the system in my sig for a little over a year. Close to a year and a half.

 

[cvstrat]

5-6 years I think. I bought it at a computer store for like 40 bucks. Every part in that thing has been upgraded 2-3 times by now. The case stays true

 

[A Casual Fitz]

I think 6-7 years. Its an old black Antec with the opening front door. Thing is built like a tank and I have always loved it. Think i've had 4 computers in it.

I think I've got the same case, an Antec SX1030B. Had it for at least 5 years, and I'm fixin' to replace it with an Antec Solo tomorrow. Doorless cases FTW! Hopefully this new case will be quieter and have better airflow too.

Yup thats the one. It will be a while till I build a new comp, but I don't know if i'll buy a new case.

I've had my Addtronics full sized case on wheels for at least 6 or 7 years. I've been eyeballing a big old Lian Li on wheels to replace it. Got's to have dem wheels.

 

[apex32]

1year - Lian-Li PC7BPlusII. Lian-Li for life.

 

[buzzsaw13]

I've had my Coolermaster Ammo for about a year.

I've been looking for those casters forever. LMK if you ever want to sell them. damn metric sizes.

Several years longer than I should have. I would use it for target practice when I upgrade, but I fear that would free the evil spirits that inhabit it.

I have had a Lian Li PC-70 for 6 years now.

I will never get another case as long as I can get ATX form factor. I paid $270 for it I think when it first came out, and now its still worth $170.
I love this case so much, and I remember the day I first got it, it was in a cardboard box on my steps with foam on the top and bottom so it looked about 3 feet tall, and had two hard plastic ribbons around the box. I grabbed it by the ribbon expecting it to be heavy, and when I lifted it almost flung it over my head (exaggeration but the point is it is sooooo light).

My only complaint is the aluminum is cut so sharp that after messing around in the case I often wind up with cuts on my hands. Also that I have beige drives so it looks sort of tacky.

Overall though possibly one of the best investments I've ever made in computer equipment.

About a year, Antec P150 case.

Before that , it was an Antec SX-1040 for 5 years.

 

[mrSHEiK124]

Kingwin................the last respectable case they made, forgot what it was called, 11WMBK something. This case seriously rocks, it's light as hell (all aluminum) and looks sweet. The inside of the case is painted black too, it's a fricken sweet paint job, and all of the edges are folded back, not a single cut working inside this case, EVER. I believe I've had it since March of 2004, so I've had it for almost 3 years now. :heart:

 

[fire400]

cheap and sturdy

Supermicro SC-750A, 7 years. Don't know why I would ever get rid of it.

 

[state 08]

Had my Antec Super Lanboy since May 04'

 

[judasmachine]

3 or so years. It's one of them Dragon Full Towers. I forgot the company who made them, they're almost identical to the Chenmig cases on Newegg.

Next week when I upgrade I'm moving to a GigaByte Aluminum Full Tower
