hmm doesnt look great how the skimped on painting the mobo tray ....

 

[Zefan]

Indeed it does, I have one

Very good build quality, it's a fingerprint magnet though.

This is the best case Ive ever used. Got it from a good friend, months before they arrive on the scene. Cost me £190 and worth every penny. Build quality and finish was superb!

If I was to build a desktop again, this would be my case of choice.

Best



Case



Ever!

Some of the silverstone cases are nice

I've got a LC01 for my media centre

I totally agree though

nothing comes close to my CM110 and S1000

The Hiper Osiris is indeed quite nice, but with one major flaw!

NO removable motherboard tray

That's not a case, it's optimus prime's nose

lol, im curious to whether those side intakes do anything.

The old CMs are still the best. simple design, classy. Others today look a bit cheap and tacky. I used to love my Black Widow.

why have they changed so much? were they once part of a better company or something?

 

[Acid_death69]

lol so basically it was mainly just to attract 8 year olds then im suprised the case doesnt have a spoiler. Lol remember those rustler adverts when they had pimped out microwaves and one had a spoiiler hahaha twas quality

I love the look of ATC cases; subtle and stylish, just a shame they're not up to the task of cooling todays hardware.

Personally the Lian Li PC7, or maybe even the PC8 are on equal stepping in terms of style.

Looking a little dated, imo. Much prefer my CM Stacker 810 personally.

BAN HIM

There are still some nice Lian Li's and Silverstones about, Take a look at the Lian Li A70, it has a bit of a ATC look to it imo.

In a nutshell, yea. Something to do with a 3rd party iirc.

Silverstone cases are terrible unless you spend way more than is reasonable on them. Anything in the Lian-Li price range is just an aluminium front shoved on a very generic steel chassis. Nothing special about them at all.

I reckon the Hiper Osiris is pretty lovely.

Nice looking case. Want to fit an internal triple rad to my next case. Would have considered this if it had the mounting and appropriate grills on top. Oh well, will just have to spray the HAF 932 black inside.

Lancools are very good alternatives though.

I have a black CoolerMaster Praetorian, pretty much the same as the original poster but with brushed panels.
