Ok we've had the silver v black thread and for some reason the voting system seems to be broken. I mean how the hell did black win that?

Anyway...

Lovely sexy clean lines with a door on the front of the case
or
No door

How do I turn this into a vote please dons?
 
Thanks whoever made this a poll.

Personally I love the clean lines of the door. I rarely have to open it and I've also been a man of simple tastes :)
 
either is good. either can look nice, and either can look pants.

Personally, having had a door on my first (cheapy) case, and having now switched toa PC-7+ with the lian li bezels, I was almost tempted to say no door, but it all depends.
 
I prefer a case with a door, as IMO they look better, and they can help reduce noise, especially from the CD/DVD drives. However, I do like having some 5 1/4" drivebays exposed for things like LCD displays and fan controlers etc. So I think my ideal case would have a door, but 2-3 bays exposed at the top. :)
 
No door by a mile for me, although we'll just have to wait and see if I ever buy a case with a door. A silverstone sugo would look stupid with a door though, I'd actually like to see them try make one. :p

No door - the only cases that look good with a door are the Cooler Master ATC110 and ATC111

As the 110 is my fravourite case, I have to say door.

Quoted you Harib0 as I havn't been around these parts in a while and have just seen your website, excellent stuff! After the collapse of the German ATCs archive site, I've been looking for a site such as yours. :) Good luck with it.
 
I've never had a case with a door but I would probably go for one if it wasn't flimsy and easily reversible. what I would ideally like is a sliding one(top half slides to bottom half) like batmobile armour or something but alas I can't find one. The door should be perforated in case you forget to close it if it cover the fan :D . You gets me?

Yep agree with that (bit of a 110 rip off).

*Yawn* The TJ03 is not a 110 rip off, it was actually designed by the same design team and specifically designer as the 110. So believe it or not, its actually much closer to being its successor. People just believe its a rip off as Silverstone make it. :rolleyes: The ATC team chose to disband and many went to Silverstone.

I don't agree not a patch on the 110 - if it were flat maybe but otherwise i don't like it, not clean enough

I have both the CM 110 and the TJ03 and whilst I agree the TJ03 isnt as good in design as the 110, it is a patch on the 110. Design moves on, and boy would it be boring if we all had ATC's. I know many people on this forum believe that is ideal - but ATC's are now 'exclusive', like a little owners club. If everyone had one, your's would just be as boring as the next. Hence why people buy and sell at a premium - such as yourself, exclusivity.

I admit the later version of the TJ03 are not built as well, but as I have a very early example, I can tell you there are few flaws. Ok, so it isnt perfectly square (its not supposed to be!) and the front bottom door blocks some airflow - other than that, I'd go as far as to say it is equal to the 110.

Had Coolermaster built and sold Silverstones current line up, there'd be a hell of a lot less case snobbery. :)
