Just wondering what the general opinion on what makes a good choice of case is on here.

Cooling
Noise
Build Quality
Looks
Size
All of above.

I would have to admit that I am a bit of a build quality freak myself, although subtle styling makes my mouth water :p

Build Quality
Looks

You cant mod a case to look better of be better built, at least not easily :)

Size - can i fit w/cing in it :rolleyes: :D
Cooling - i generally water cool so doesnt really matter
Noise - comes down to components in the end, 80mm or 120mm, you can still get silent/quiet fans

But really it needs to have : All of above. :)
 
I guess the original noise factor of the case doesnt bother me that much considering u can replace the fans, use a controller or install water cooling.

Looks is always important, the lian li drive covers so so sweet, so another one would be 'can i get a lian li cdrom drive cover on it' :D

Cant have a plastic front besel has to be all metal surely.....
 
Looks for me is the most important thing. I will not buy a case, however good it is, if I don't like how it looks (sorry Akasa Eclipse)
However I will not buy a case with crap cooling and poor build quality just because it looks good.

Ditto. If not, forget it. Cooling and ease-of-use are paramount.

Looks aren't vital. Anyone who's seen the pictures of what I did to my PC60 in the name of cooling will testify to that :) The damn things usually sit under a desk so who cares what they look like. I have to admit that the fashion for lights and bling causes me huge amusement :p
