Choosing a new case for new build...it's just damn impossible.

After weeks of looking, choosing, looking again, choosing again, I've narrowed the choice down to..11

3 Corsair
2 Bit Fenix
2 Fractal Design
2 NZXT
1 Phanteks
1 Coolermaster

Every one of them would look so nice when built that it just seems impossible to make the final choice.

..and that's just the case design..don't get me started on deciding which colour..black, white, orange...ARRRGHHH!!!!

I've basically come to the conclusion I need a different case for each day of the week..with a few spare just for the hell of it.

Every time I think I've made my final choice, I have my head turned by another. :rolleyes:

Things were so much simpler when you didn't have to worry about bits being on show and wanting colour co-ordinated parts.

At this rate I don't think I'll ever be able to make a decision... :confused:

Am I the only one who has this difficulty deciding on the most visible part of the build?

I know what you mean I have the fractal r3 and want something new, have seen the corsair 750d and wow love it but its £125. Then there's the fractal r4 which i've seen for £48. Want something that will allow a h100i to be fitted and have some 140mm fans fitted front and rear.

The more I look the more undecided I am about changing.

In the same boat want to change my case, looked at the corsair 750d but the front 5.25 front bays put me off as I need to install a bay res. So I have decided to wait for the phantek enthoo pro it ticks all the right boxes for less then £90

Same here. I managed to narrow it down by price and CPU cooler height first.
And seeing as it lived under the desk, visuals are not that important so no window needed.
I wanted decent cooling and my missus insisted it had to be quiet.
Ended up with a Fractal R4 (black, colour wasn't an issue though)

You need to be more mercenary

Silverstone FT02 from a aesthetic point of view.

You're not alone, don't worry. I've got cases littered around my house. Ebay is your friend when it comes to cases, especially finding real cool old school models. But, on a serious note, you can't really go far wrong with Corsair. I'd grab a 750D if I were you!
