Who is your favorite case manufacturer?

[overclockingoodness]

I personally like Silverstone because of their designs. I love them.

Who's case designs do you like the best?

 

[MrCodeDude]

The ACTS team from CoolerMaster is SilverStone. So some of the older CoolerMaster cases could be accredited to SilverStone.

you forgot lian li. :}

Oops! Is there a way I can edit the poll? Thanks for the reminder.

CoolerMaster and Lian-Li are bar none the best.

Antec is great for superior functionality and quality, but for aluminum good looks and quality, Lian-Li and CM cannot be touched.

 

[overclockingoodness]

I agree. I don't like Thermaltake as much. Their case designs are ugly.

 

[Mrvile]

Loud and gaudy.

 

[Tostada]

favorite cheap case = Apex
favorite expensive case = Cooler Master

And for everything else, Antec of course.

I never even know the brands of my favorite cheap cases
but I agree with the other choices

Antec, not flashy but practical:

Antec SLK3700AMB for a server case: good cooling, easy to work with, 5 grommeted hard drive holders, 120mm exhaust fan and holder for 120mm intake fan.

Antec Sonata for a desktop: quiet out of the box, good cooling, good power supply.

How the hell is Antec winning... that makes no sense. People that havn't used Lian Li or Coolermaster I guess.

lian li

I have never liked thermaltake before until they came out with the Tsunami Dream. Really nice looking case, 120mm fans, and plenty of room inside.

So is my Lian Li PC-61 with 4 panaflos.

Antec makes nice cases, no doubt about that but if you compare the quality of them you cannot beat LianLi/Coolermaster.

You pay for that quality though.

I like Antec: good clean design, good reliable power supplies, and good prices. My only complaint about Antec are the **LOUD** fans their cases sometimes ship with!! (But a few SilenX fans fixes that!!)

 

[Elcs]

And where is Chieftec?

Please tell me you're joking. That's gotta be one of the ugliest cases I've ever seen, and the PSU (just based on the ratings on the rails) looks to be crap.

I'm gonna go with Lian-Li. Although I haven't personally seen any of the high-end Coolermaster cases. Antec does not really impress me.

 

[Vegito]

I love my new lian li.. finally pluck the money for it.. light as hell and fits all my drives...

had a cheiftec before, it wasn't bad either, just not for server board

 

[everman]

Chenming is a major manufacturer, usually rebadged to some of those listed above actually.
Does anyone have a list of "real" manufacturers? The companies that actually make the chasis.

 

[imported_Computer MAn]

It's basically a toss up for me between Lian Li and Antec they are both great. I chose Antec though because they are cheaper.
