20 or so, I usually end up getting bored and change them almost yearly.

Same here, I think I must average somewhere around one a year. Some years I don't get a new case but others I've bought 2 or 3, crazy really but at times the search for the perfect case for that particular build took several attempts.

I`m currently on my fourth case in around eighteen years, first one came with the PC I bought from a mate, second one I can`t remember what it was, I was the first PC I built, I just remember it was gloss black. My third one was a NZXT Phantom and my current one is a Fractal Design Vision which I`ve had about three years and will be getting replaced in the coming months with a Lian Li 011d XL Evo.

Hmmm, not sure I can remember all the cases I've had, will give it a go.

Had a classic small/midi atx tower in the 90s. Obtained a Thermaltaker Xaser III at one point that served a long time (early 00s through 10s). Had a no brand full (tall) tower at around the same time (early 00s). Had another midi case as well, but don't remember much about it (no brand again in the early 00s). Then finally grabbed the Corsair Obsidian 650D Midi/Full ATX case in 2010s. Then a Corsair 300r a year later for the secondary backup system. Finally last year went with the Lian-Li Lancool III (as a different case I was after was not in stock). Next is likely that Antec Performance 1 case when I finally upgrade the secondary (backup) system later this or early next year.

So around 7-8 cases lasting from late 90s to this year.

I've only ever had two myself. HAF 932 and my latest one i can't remember the model bits it's a corsair. That's over about 15+ years

20+ Cases easily, get bored with looking at the same case, so I swap often and will often see at least three cases with any given build I have before upgrading hardware.

I have 5 or 6 in my house, i lost count

 

[Hutch]

Only about 5 or 6 I think in over 29 years. I need to look at getting a new one as it would be convenient 5o have some usb c on the case

 

[dessimpson]

I've had a dozen or so over the years. I only tend to change them if the current one won't do what I want. i.e. Went from a Corsair 4000D to a 5000D last year as I wanted to install a bigger radiator. Normally some good case bargains on the OCUK clearance section.

on my "personal" rig 4 in 20 years

 

[MouthBoy]

About 4-5.

First 2 were beige beauties of the time. Then I went to a Lian Li PC65, then a CM-690 II, now the Corsair 750D.

I really miss my PC65, but I do know that it would not be practical these days.

I've had very few cases. My current case is at least 16 years old, it's brilliant, huge 200mm fan in the top at the back, drives all sit in removal trays. It's the Antec 900, an earlier version of this one: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/antec-1200-twelve-hundred-ultimate-gaming-case-black-ca-102-an.html

Antec 900? Sounds like it, was a very popular case for it's time and was one of the last cases that Antec built well before they disappeared until last year with the Performance 1 FT.

 

[clv101]

Ha, yes, I figured that out after a little Google Image searching!

I have an old Dell, high end Xeon system, no longer in use, that'll donate its case if/when I build another PC.

Four - a very 90s blue annodized blue Lian-Li case I bought from @philstanbridge, an black anodized TJ06, and my current CaseLabs STH10. An a CM ATC201 someone else has reminded me!

 

[Jay85]

legit lost count, cant even remember some of them cos it was so long ago.

 

[IPBA]

Way too many, from budget beige cases to the good old Lian Li/Coolermaster aluminium cases to my current NR200.

 

[koolpc]

Less than a handful. Best one, for me, was the ATC 201

 

[AtreuS]

Lets just say ive got 800quid+ of old cases in my loft... really should try and sell em lol
