I've never really had much of a desire to change cases. My antec P182 still works just fine as do my almost as old Fractal cases
I still have a couple of SuperMicro 760T cases from 2001 (?) in use today. One houses an ESXi server on an x79 board and the other is Linux on a Threadripper 1900x. I really do like the old cases. I wish I had some metal working skillz to mod them into something interesting.

Good airflow is for the weak! You must cram as much stuff as possible into an impossibly small case and hope it doesn't slow down to 1000MHz under load. This is why they invented itx cases!

Real masochists prefer ITX!
my HTPC uses a Thermaltake Core V1 case.

I've been keeping it real with real talk for a long time now. The current generation of the Internet is in severe need of this it seems.

As long as it is not “Real” as in “Real Dumb” I’m good with this.

I've got one of these still kicking around. Wish my metal cutting skills were skills, not wishes. Then I'd actually have the guts to cut ventilation into the case...it needs it badly, which is why it's in a box and not being used. Otherwise, was/is a nice case.

I crammed a Corsair 250D mITX full of fullsize ATX components...first and last time for that nonsense, lol.
It worked, but...my hands ended up with plenty of knicks, cuts, scrapes, etc

Edit: did Anandtech start running an ad campaign? seems a lot of recent new accounts joining, not to mention years-old accounts with nearly no posts or activity suddenly showing back up...
