I am looking for a sturdy good quality mid ATX case. It can't have to much of the "Super-hip gamer LED" look but I want it to have some character.

However - It can't have any brand names on the outside like "Cooler Master."

It needs to have good airflow because it will house higher end parts.

The cases will be used for custom builds for customers.

Know of any??

Thanks!

I don't know of any company that would purposefully screw over their free advertisement system unless the purchaser made an OEM deal with them.

I don't want a name on the case because people who buy my custom PCs will associate their computer with "Coolermaster" or "Rosewell" and not me. Much like how Dell puts their name on their cases.

The cases need to be GOOD quality with no external names.

Rosewill might be a solution but im having a hard time finding one that has proper cooling and good build quality. All of them look so cheaply plasticly. I don't mind paying 75-100 bucks for a case!

I'm pretty sure your customers would mind paying 75-100 bucks for a case. Dell probably never spends more than 50-75 for a Case and PSU. You could get a nice budget case with branding and put a case badge looking sticker with your company name over it.

I don't see any markings on this, plus it has a place to put a sticker if you got some made for your company.

Some Lian Li cases such as this appear to just have a sticker that you could probably take off and replace with your own as well.

Most Lian-Li's have a badge that you can just pry off with a screwdriver and their build quiality is excellent.

The Antec Solo comes to mind. It looks sharp without shouting "I'm a 14 year old gamer," has great airflow, is quiet and has no branding. It's also not super common, so most people probably haven't seen one in person.

Personally, I would just buy high-quality brand name cases and add my own logo stickers to it, sort of like the Intel and AMD product stickers. Then, when I shipped the product to the customer, I'd include a list of all important materials so the customer can clearly see:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Memory: 2x1GB Corsair XMS DDR2 800, 4-4-4-12
Case: Thermaltake Armor / Antec P-180 / Lian-Li blah blah blah (you get the point)
Etc.

That way it lets the customer see that a) they're buying quality parts, if they do the research, and b) you don't make all of the parts included in their computer, so you're not 100% responsible if something happens to go wrong (there's nothing like getting a call from the customer claiming that "the cheap-case-you-made's power button broke...")

Inwins have no external branding, and are my favorite. Their Matx boxes are particularly nice. The psu's are decent, as well, if not overwhelmingly so. The newer C and Z series are a pleasure to work with, and offer very good airflow, depending on bezel choice...

The Coolermaster Mystique 631 has modest markings - easily covered if desired and can be had very cheaply from svc.com at the moment. The Rosewill R6A series and the R5600 series are far better than their average line and have modest logos that could be overpainted. See my review of the 5600 series with comments on others here: http://www.techimo.com/reviews/ in the Cases section under Yeong Yang/Rosewill.

Chances are if you're selling custom-configured computers to people, they know the difference between who makes the case (not you) and who builds/configures the computer (you). Don't treat your customers like they're stupid. Simply place your model number and branding on there somewhere prominently and they'll get it.

i think some customers actually prefer seeing Lian-Li logo, cause that way they know they're getting good quality stuff (hopefully inside too!)

Nice suggestion guys.

I like that Coolermaster Mystique 631 case! And the price!

The Antec NSK6500 looks even better built (all metal?) But its quite a bit more expensive.

The LIAN LI PC-7B plus II is an okay case - to bland i think. Their cases are so expensive ><

Any other suggestions?
