What computer case do you guys have? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I have a Sigma Unicorn Metal Storm case, The name is ridiculous but I like it.
longer review: Sigma Unicorn Mid-Tower ATX Case | Modders-Inc.com | Case Mods and Computer Hardware Reviews

I like the style. It's sleak but not as overpowering as some of the other cases I've owned and it has good airflow so all my requirements are filled. All my problems with the case seem to revolve around the door panel. It doesn't latch closed, It's held shut by two of the weakest magnets in existence. Not that I'd want a more power magnet attached to my case. The power button is also on TOP of the door panel. This leads to a lot of accidental pushing as you try to open the door. You can't use the USB or headphone/mic jacks in front of the computer while the door is closed. Also, the power light paints a blue bullseye on my ceiling.

Best case I've ever had.

LoganSnake · 08-31-2009, 02:42 PM

I have this one. It's all kinds of awesome.

Thermaltake Armor with the 25cm side fan. Yes, that's cm, not a typo

Best-cooling case I've ever had, and very roomy to build in.

ha, I've seen that case. That fan is huge.

I expect to see that lots of people have that Antec 900. It had so many reviews. I almost bought it but I got such a good deal on mine I couldn't pass it up.

I got the Antec 300. I like it.

Eden,

That is my case I got a month ago for my first computer build.

That was a big part of my decision: it's the number one rated case on Newegg, with a ton of reviews. Comes with lots of fans, and it's fairly roomy to build in.

BurntToast · 08-31-2009, 04:24 PM

I have the Antec 900 as well. I think it's a great case, but my Lian-Li PC-60 was my favorite.

A friend of mine used to have that Lian-Li case. He was a huge fan.

Radio Monk33 · 08-31-2009, 10:21 PM

I got the CoolerMaster 690. Not that fancy, but you can't complain for the price.

allaboutmusic · 09-01-2009, 05:28 AM

I built my PC about 10 years ago in a Supermicro SC750 case, which was the most awesome case at the time. It's still an awesome case, but I've gone Mac now. Still using it as a file server.

Dragonlich · 09-01-2009, 09:36 AM

Antec P182, with Nexus fans instead of the normal ones.
I chose it because it's very very quiet. Especially with all the quiet stuff inside.

powerclown · 09-01-2009, 10:45 AM

I paid $200 for a CoolerMaster ATC201 8 years ago (renamed Praetorian in 2006) and just keep refilling it with new hardware as needed. Removable mobo tray/ps tray, thumbscrews for everything, built-in espresso maker, built like a tank, looks great...I haven't seen any yet that I like better.

kutulu · 09-01-2009, 11:24 AM

I have the Antec 300. It is good enough but I could use some extra space. It was only $50.

Maybe someday I'll buy a nice case but the $100-150 extra could be used in much better ways.

Esoteric · 09-01-2009, 01:13 PM

NZXT Tempest.

Halx · 09-01-2009, 01:36 PM

This is mine

I've also built a computer with the case that SM70 linked.

heyal256 · 09-02-2009, 06:17 PM

I have this case. Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UB Black /Blue Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases

Martian · 09-02-2009, 08:34 PM

I chose my case for it's excellent airflow characteristics and removable wire mesh filter on the intake. I don't know what brand it is.

My boxen are all beige and ugly, as God intended.

connyosis · 09-03-2009, 09:56 AM

I have the Lian-Li PC-V1000 PLUS II. Absolutely beautiful, great airflow and easy to work with.
