Can anybody recommend a stylish black case?

Mikesoft · 4 Mar 2007 at 13:17

I currently I have some crazy light up case which I got three years ago since I thought it would be 'cool'. However now that I am getting older I would like a case that would reflect my new found maturity.

Basically can somebody recommend a stylish black case that could fit an ATX size motherboard?

Thanks,
Mike

Just done the same thing myself, for exactly the same reasons.

I went for a pc7+ and am really impressed with the finish and look.

Hehe, I cant believe I went for my current case at all. Looks like something from the 1960's!

And eclipse the only choice for the style concious mature enthusiast.
Note it's understated looks and clean lines.
Hiding it's cutting edge internal mahoosiveness and all round user friendly innards.

That not the eclipse though. .thats the mirage.

Can't believe no-one has suggested the Lian Li A10. Superb case and looks stunning! A perfect reflection of your maturity if you ask me!

Note where it say's and eclipse ? i know it's the mirage.

Pretty much any Lian Li would do you nicely(Maybe except the snail). Depending on budget, have a look at;

PC7+II
V1000+
V2000+
PC-101
PC-201
A-10
A-05

Or alternatively look at;

Akasa Eclipse 62
Silverstone TJ-09

I just got the white one and it's pretty smart. Ordered a nice widescreen monitor in black and white to go with it.

PC-A10, i just wish they were in stock (black)

Personally I really like the Lian-Lis but you have to consider the mirage, it looks damn good and performs exceptionally.

lian li at the end of the day

That mirage is fugly and the eclipse isn't much better, for true clean lines for to Lian-Li really. I do understand why the eclipse has such a high rating here even if I do want to vomit when I see the case

i love the Lian Li v1000+ so if you don't mind spending that much money
for the case i would go for it

my vote: Lian Li v1000+

but if you don't want to spend a lot my 2nd vote would be the Lian Li pc-7+
