PC cases why are they all so ugly

[IronWarrior]

I think the better question is why is it so hard to find decent cases with lots of HDD slots.

I just want a case with like 15 HDD slots, not hotswaps, nothing fancy and nothing that costs £9000.

That inwin case would be nice if the side was glass, not just perspex.

and if it actually had some support for cooling. the thing is basically a hotbox. I was going to pick one up recently instead of a 450d but there is no room to put anything watercooling related or even air related

shame really. I wish more manufacturers went down the smoked fully transparent side panel route

Very happy with my Antec P100 - and my Silverstone SG08-E that I built Mrs. Behemoth's PC into last year

Personally I don’t like 99% of cases. They seem to be designed with a teenage boy in mind. I just bought the Inwin 904 and it’s a fabulous looking case. Looks slick and clean and its HEAVY. I think it needs a slight modification though. InWin have gone for the slick and clean look, but it still has these 4 (albeit nice) thumbscrews for taking off the glass sides which protrude so detract from the minimal look slightly. Also I think a aluminium / black glass side panel might look nicer than the all black glass.

Internals are great too and some nice neat touches like thumbscrews unscrewed but remain attached to the panel. Its not optimal for cooling though. On a side note I think there is too much scaremongering over cooling. By the time the PC packs up, it’s time to upgrade …. just my personal experience of baking PC’s over years! Anyway I think if a case is a poor design for cooling it still can be improved a lot by changing from the stock intel cooler and fan upgrade.

Actually I just sold my inwin 904 it today as I really wanted an miniITX so got the 901 instead. (Didn’t know they made a mini ITX) Lost 50 quid on the sale, shoot

Each to their own of course!

You can get a H100 in the inwin 904

I quite like the Fractal cases.

I guess it's good that there are cases for every ones taste because I'm really not into those sleek refrigerator-like cases

Personally I think all of these cases look great.

For me, the Corsair Graphite 760T is a thing of beauty. It would be my case of choice if I needed one right now.

Agreed should have put that on my list too!

As the same interior of the 750D too.

Most cheap (priced) cases are nasty looking, comparing Inwins to the likes of Lian-Li and ST is a joke.

 

[JimboTheGiant]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Parvum Cases. OP: It might be worth having a look through the Project Logs subforum

You've evidently not seen the Inwin 901 and 904, which is the Inwin case everybody on this thread is talking about.

You are right, I hadn't, plus I see that have branched out in to more expensive (and ghastly) cases in general.

I thought they were still doing stuff like CiT do.

 

[ocmanus]

I saw Parvum Cases for the first time today. Good looking and priced reasonably too.

 

[SC0TTRS]

Perfect!

What the **** am I looking at?!

I like this as a cheaper case. Antec One Gaming Case

Though I always like the desktop workstation look back in the day. Dec's and SGI's etc. The machine I always wanted was a Quadra 700

I'd like a small neat Mini ITX but it just much cheaper/easier to go with a regular case.

That inwin case would be nice if the side was glass, not just perspex.

It is glass, but would be a pain to clean with the amount of dust it would attract.

Bitfinex are ncie looking cases.

Personal preference, but they are not very nice looking at all!!

I love the Parvum. Biased, but my S2 is the best Micro ATX cases around!
