I've owned many cases over the years - right now it's 2 of the same one.

Four, Define S, Define R5, FT05 still in box unused bought when reduced on OCUK, Dimastech bench still in box unused.

I'll be getting a Caselabs this year.

I have this case I'm using now which is decent, hasn't got those horrid "gaming" aesthetics which I loath but before this I had (Still have as spare) Cooler Master Elite 430 which has poor cable management and only supports 120mm fans without air filters, these are the main reasons I got rid of it. One day I will upgrade my motherboard/cpu/memory/gpu and dump it all into it.

So theres a fair few that have multiple cases.

What factors determine what case you buy? Watercooling is all the rage and it seems most cases nowadays need to accomodate dual rads and a pump to be taken seriously.

For me it comes down to silence thats what I look at first then hassle free use second. If I had the cash I'd have Parvum build me a custom air cooled case for silence.

Cooler master haf-x
And now i just got a Lian-Li D600

 

[khemist]

Cases i've thrown in the skip, (shame on me) Lian Li a77 custom case that must have cost me £400 after mods, FT03, White RV02, TJ08-E, antec P182 and old Lian li pc7.

 

[Rustyone]

I tend to change cases about 5 times a year, used to be a Lian fanatic, but I've had 5 Phanteks ones in the last changes, pretty decent for the money.

Just sell the old ones or skip them.

I don't change cases frequently. I have an Antec Plus AMG 1080 from about 2002 with a Q6600 based PC in it, that I rarely even turn on, and I've yet to find a better looking case than my CM Stacker 830 which I've had since about 2007.

Antec Plus AMG 1080

Probably the case I miss the most.

I've had the Antec, a full tower Chieftec Dragon and a TT Xaser II. I'd have another Plusview or Dragon in a heartbeak.

I even prefer them over my old Lian-Li V1000+

I've cut down massively and only got 2 cases now, a Corsair Air 540 and Silverstone TJ06. The Silverstone is a chunky thing but I don't think much of its cable management (i.e. it has none ). The Air 540 being my main rig and TJ06 being the HTPC (out of sight, out of mind).

I own 2. My main PC Corsair 500r and a Bitfenix Shinobi black with white strips and logo for my retro PC. I'm looking to replace the 500r as I just fancy a change (and maybe something slightly smaller)
