Inwin full tower. I love that thing. Sturdy and well designed, with tons of room. only problem is the 1mm steel is too strong to cut with a nibbler so i used a steel cutter.
 
I am extremely happy with my 1080AMG Performance Plus case from Antec. Came with a 430watt Truepower PS and four case fans. I love this case!! I am certain there are better, but for the money I like this one.

God, these cases are the most gaudy looking things I have ever seen. Just my opinion though, and some people like gaudy.
 
lol, the only "funky" looking case i would ever get is the antec super lanparty. it looks nice, but antything els enot elegant is ugs.
 
Silver Wavemaster with a case window mod and white cold cathodes. The white light looked so nice against the silver, it looked kind of like heaven 😀

I plan on mounting my HDDs in the 5.25" bays behind my hand-built rheobus, and mounting my radiator there in the bottom.

I have to find some vinyl dye now that will match the finish on the case!!

This case is horrible!!
With my previous one, case temp was always 29-32C. This POS hangs about 32C if you have the side panel off. As soon as you put the side on, it climbs to 41C. I'm gonna see if I can find a couple good 120mm fans, cause the one that came with it along with my LED one isn't cutting it. The CPU climbs accordingly aswell. It won't matter as much when I get the water finalized and put together, but this is friggin ridiculous coming from a cheap Enlight case that only has a single 80 intake, and a single 80 exhaust.
My SLK800 is still keeping temps 5C above case at idle, and 11C at load, but when the case temp has risen as much as 11C at times that makes my CPU bake!!

That's good money shitted away that I could have bought an eheim pump with!!

You have much to learn, Grasshopper.
Cases have never come w/ Enermax, Aerocool, or Panasonic fans, and they rarely come with good ones. Every case you buy is this way--Antecs are no exception.
 
thermaltake lanfire is ok, its light, quiet, has an ok power suppliy, and is cool, comes with 2x92 and 2x 80 fans...I am gonan get another....
 
i think the thermaltake lanfires are ew so ugly! bleh. i'm really starting to like the antec sonata now though. looks pimp.
 
you'll see the weight advantages of an aluminum case when you have to lug into your nearest computer repair shop. Its a lot easier, you can really tell the difference aluminum has over steel.

What the hell are you talking about?😕

1. How many times do you take your computer in to justify the extra $$ in weight savings LOL

2. Who here builds their own computer (and pays the $$ for an aluminum case), only to pay someone else from repair it. I think not.
 
I think the Antec Super Lanboy is a really cool looking / well ventilated case, If I could have a case now, that would be it.
 
The case I have right now, Thermaltake Modern XASER Damier V.
I was iffy about the chekered pattern but it actually looks pretty pleasing!
