Ultimate Case

This one.
A modded aluminum dragon case, very sleek and classy.

I haven't gotten anything from them myself, so I can't vouch for them, but frozencpu.com seems to have a wide variety of very cool modded (and expensive) cases.
 
I wish "people" would stop asking this genre of question... There is NO one, ultimate case - or anything else for that matter.
. So take your tiny brains outta here and lurk 'til you obtain a clue!
.bh.
:moon:
 
Every case has it's strong points. Some would argue the ultimate case must be Al for it's low density, but others would insist that it isn't as strong as steel. I guess you could custom build a titanium case or some super strong carbon fiber and it would be light and strong. I think the heatpipe case that Directron.com is about to offer seems pretty "ultimate" for a seeker of silence. Different people want different things in their case. I don't think there is one ultimate case.

What's the ultimate case, regardless the price? Opinions very much appreciated.

I took this to mean that he was just asking which case YOU would consider the ultimate case, due to the "opinions" statement. Just tell him what you like and why🙂.
 
Everyone is gonna have their own opinion on this one.
My personal fav is this one from Kingwin come complete with 3 windows, it's aluminum and slide out mobo tray with good air circutlation.

In that case, I would say... I really don't know. I would want a case about the size of a Chieftec Dragon, with the same high quality construction, but would want grommet mounted hard drive mounts, all 120mm fan mounts with grommets, a removable motherboard tray, a custom fitted duct for my heatsink to the exhausts in the back, insulated with nice sound absorbing non heat insulating foam, and other nice stuff.

I like Soldam's cases, but at about $550 a pop, they're not worth it (IMO)

Those Soldam cases are sweet (table one). What's up with the 800$ regular aluminum case though?

A solid wood case 😛, real wood. No metal whatso ever. Even wooden screws!

ahhhh, but what KIND of wood? Red Oak, Maple, walnut? How bout a nice ebony? The LAN party buffs could use a nice, lite balsa wood...
 
Thank you all for the input. There are so many considerations in choosing a case that I'm not sure where to begin. The only thing I'm sure is that I'd like to get a case that's not the usual boxy shape. I saw a review once about a PC version of a Mac G4 case but I can't find it now.

Gazza... Thanks for the link! Personally, I think that is the sweetest case I've ever laid eyes on. I gotta have it.

When the wife asks why I just bought a brand new case, I'm blaming you.🙂
 
I am particularly fond of chenbro server cases... they take a little work but if you punch fan grills, do rubber grommet mounts for fans, they become amazing 🙂
 
I like my Enlight 7237; it's a bit behind the times in terms of cases...haven't bought a new case in like ~4 years? It has some flaws though - the top panel is, or rather, was riveted on, instead of screwed. And there's "only" 4 5.25" bays and 3 3.5" bays (1 internal). For some users, this might not be enough; they're all filled on my PC. Most edges are rounded or folded over, but there's still some sharp spots. That's about it actually, at least that I can think of right now. The drive rails took some getting used to, but I love the things now - they're just incredibly handy.
There's probably something better than this out there by now though. I just don't build whole PC's often enough to need to shop for cases often.🙂

Jeff7 that was my first case when I started building a pc for myself and your right was one helluva case to begin with !
Very easy to work with and espcially love the removable mobo tray, I hate cases that don't have this feature !
 
I am still using that same Enlight too. I love it. So practical. There are a lot of newer, slicker cases out there but for $67 w/ a 300w powersupply about 3+ years ago, it was hard to beat. No telling how long I will continue to use it.
 
Chieftec Full-Tower in Black, no windows or lights or anything except for some red glo-wire behind the grill to give off a nice evil red glow....
