What is your favorite Case?

Now my favorite case is the Antec 900, 4x 120mm fans, 1x 240mm fan (exaust) and it fits my ZEROTherm Nirvana.

Favorite case was the Xaser series (very heavy tho)

I like the high-end CoolerMaster designs myself. Also I prefer a matte black finish, minimal lights, etc. I have a few aluminum CoolerMaster cases, but I always keep my main PC enclosed in my RC-631: http://www.coolermaster.com/produc [...] tail&id=32

The "wave" style door covering the 5.25 bays can be easily reversed or removed. It also has convenient audio, firewire, and usb jacks on top of the case. As well as ample cooling and airflow.

Deciding on a case is pretty personal though. Different people have different functions they're trying to achieve, different aesthetic preferences, and different space requirements... But that's the case for me.

I use my cats skeleton to store my computer. .

I'm ordering a Antec Performance one P182, it has gotten good reviews and it seems roomy. I don't know yet cause that case would be my first high-end case, well, except ofc for my cat skeleton (also very high-end, fur you know).

cheers

I have an antec p180 and love it, but it is heavy, not a lanparty rig. Its roomy, well ventilated and quiet. I wish it had lightpipes for power and hdd led's and an external power button though. I guess they thought it better to be able to lock it shut without power button access than have to open the door to start.

I like my Silverstone TJ09 a lot. Plenty of room, great cooling, quiet, no annoying lights. My apologies to all you fans of the Armor and Antec 900, those are very good cases but the lights make me sick

The Sonata III is very nice too - $120 buys you a quiet case and a good PSU, you just can't beat that deal.

I love my TT Armor. Gunna get another HDD cage for some moar intakez tho

I sprung for my first high-end case, a CM Stacker 830,when it first came out a year and a half ago and I'm still in love with it. Massive, cool, the case itself is pretty dang light, mostly toolless. It is, however, a bit awkward for a completely internal watercooling loop...

No apologies necessary, I love my Thermaltake Armor Case. So much room to work in and keeps everything nice and cool. Some people don't like the blue lights, but I think they're pretty cool.

my P182 and I love one another, but she is freakin heavy.

Another vote for the antec solo. Its quieter than the p180 series (smaller, and more efficient air flow... less fans). Sound deadening panels, no funny front door, HDD suspension... and only $80

Its the perfect mid tower

my favorite case is the one i own from mountainmods.com

My favorite case would be the stacker 830 black.

I've got three computer cases, for my three computers of course.

3rd place- A Thermaltake Eureka-a good case, extra deep for those extra long video cards, and set up from the factory for easy watercooling. But its a bit plain looking, and since I don't have watercooling at present, there weren't enough fans for good air circulation. Adding fans helped. I use this mainly for a business machine. AMD/ATI inside.

2nd place- An Antec 900- a good looking case with plenty of fans and holes pre-drilled in the case for watercooling. But its very crowded inside. Intel/Nvidia inside.

1st place- A Chieftec Dragon- Ok, its an old case, seven years old now to be exact, so its certainly not in the latest style and fashion of cases. But its got lots of room inside for hard drives, long video cards and everything else I've wanted to put into it. Being a steel case, its been very durable through the years. It only had 80mm fans from the factory, but 120mm fans have been installed as the need arose. It also only cost $59, so was by far the cheapest case that I've bought. AMD/Nvidia inside.

For sure, everybody has their favorite case, for reasons that may make no sense to other people. Doesn't matter, you buy and keep what you like.

Coolermaster Stacker 830 SE w/6 120mm LED fans - very quite!

Antec Nine Hundred Gaming case

NZXT Zero. comes with 7x120mm fans, + 1x80. Using Coolermaster Gemini II, this case removes the need for a fan directly on the heatsink entirely on Q6600@3 GHz.

I've used a few different cases for my friends and for my own personal build, and really, the winner of those I've used is the P182. But, I must say that I do like my Thermaltake Tsunami. It's got enough room to work in, it's toolless, and it looks good. But, of course, it has its issues, too. Stock fans are loud, the lock likes to fall apart once or twice a year, gets scratched easily, etc. But in the end, it's all stuff that can be fixed. And, it still looks good.

I traded my Antec 900 for the Lian Li (Lancool) K7 and I'm glad I did. 3 x 120 mm fans( no leds) and lovely black aluminum finish.

Antec Solo using the HD suspension mounting. The airflow is so good that even without active HD cooling (I trashed the front fan mount unit) my Samsung HD501LJ drives never exceed 35 degrees. Cool and Silent rules.

Ohhhhhh i see a 621 sub there(or a 641 if the case is huge)

For case, 900 is good for cooling sonata or P180(the sound dampening sides work well) for silence....

This is the case I have now except mine is black instead of white...
