The Best looking case.

[redbox]

Well, for best looking it's certainly no Thermaltake.

Hands down that award goes to the dearly departed Coolermaster ATC 111 SX1:

The closest thing to that now is the Silverstone Temjin TJ03 (used by Falcon Northwest).

that is a pretty case

Some I like ...

Silverstone TJ03 Nimiz

Coolermaster Wavemaster

Lian Li V PC-V1100B

You really don't need a alot of room to watercool - that's a myth - Most cases will allow you to put a Dual rad swifty on the top and only lose the top two 5.25" bays. This will cool GPU and CPU very well and provide excellent case ventalation at the same time. sorta like this case I built for jr.Text

Has two HDD's, floppy, and burner. I could put another HDD in and another burner.

Any of those case above you can watercool with ease. Hell people watercool SFF shuttles!

I like my Antec P160W.

Get the Cooler Master AMMO. It's is recognized as the best case money can buy. I should know since I have one.

 

[EPZ Soldier]

yeah! The Vento is a sweet case but for 130 and no p/s argggggggg!!

 

[bdww00]

thermaltake soprano have none and it runs cool as hell

 

[HybridSquirrel]

i like the x-1 looks only. tooless design i go with cm

 

[CP5670]

I like the general style of the CM Cent5 and Stacker (original) cases.

 

[djnsmith7]

The Silverstone TJ06 is truly an awesome case...

Silverstone TJ06B

 

[Elcs]

Antec SLK3000B.

Plain but not boring. Stylish but not tacky. Not expensive but not cheap.

Like an office case should look.

I vote for the Lian-Li V2000. I was able to fit a 3x120 rad on top, inside the case. Plenty of room to work!

The Silverstone TJ 07 in black does it for me. I really want that case.
Just hope it drops in price after it gets on the market.

Very nice. But keep in mind you can do same thing with any Lian Li with PSU on bottom. That's about 10-15 cases ATM. I'd prolly do the Lian Li V PC-V1100B like I linked above.

More pics please.)

dido on that price drop thing I love the way that case looks.
The way the price looks that is a different story.

I have to go with a Raidmax case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811156019

Yeah ok I know its only $30 but Ive had it for a year and still love it. And it looks alot better then you would think with some modding and a coat of paint

 

[fireontheway]

Silverstone TJ03 & Antec P150.

 

[zest]

T o answer the question , Lian Li V1000 ...very nice....Pictures are nothing until you see it for real..
Quality & class all over..If you want a full tower then there is the V1200.

 

[Fiontar]

A couple others have mentioned it, but I also love the look of the Coolermaster Wavemaster (Silver).

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119023

It's the case I own. It's even more beautiful in person.

Pros:

Great look.

Entirely Aluminum.

The entire case acts as a heat spreader.

Swap out the top I/O port for the fan mount, replace the fans with something with even more airflow and this thing has incredible cooling power.

Sliding, removable motherboard tray.

Cool Blue LEDS on the front.

Thumb Screws for left and right removable side panels, motherboard tray release and slot covers.

Optional window panels available.

Cons:

The door hides any cool external HDD bay mods you might want to install and may not close with some bay mod designs (large knobs) when installed flush.

The front two fans take some effort to access (top of the pair requires phillips and allen screw removal, bottom of the pair requires removal of the entire bottom half of the face plate which requires at least 4 more akward to remove screws).

No removable drive cages.

No front USB/Firewire/Audio etc... Add in mod cheap and easy, but need to leave the door open to use them.

*****************

Overall a solid, attractive and roomy case with good airflow. Has a couple annoyances that prevent it from being perfect, but if you are aware of the shortcomings ahead of time it's a great case and to me one of the best looking.

 

[fierydemise]

I like just about anything made by coolermaster, the wavemaster looks great and the centurion is subtle but beautiful

So did you get the Cooler Master AMMO?

um no I found that case to be rather ugly in my opinion, not to mention there isn't anything special about it in terms of air or water cooling or space. Thank you for the suggestion though.

I knew this would be an opinionated tread.
You know what they say what is one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Hope your case serves you well for several years.

I'm using a TT armor with two different W/C things, one external and one internal. The internal includes a dual 120 rad, pump, half inch, reservoir etc etc. And I still have a half decent airflow. It certainly has potential for raw air cooling too.

Close to it? You have got to be kidding. I think the point he was trying to make is that that is a $200 piece of bile. That price has to be a joke.

 

[eastvillager]

I used to have a few of the coolermaster ATC-201 series cases. I thought they looked excellent, although they were a bit small for some builds. At this point, I prefer clean lines, with little or no bling. P180 fits that bill nicely.
