Poll: What is the most important feature for you in a case?

[mc_bob]

I'm a noise freak, or a quiet freak...

I want it quiet...
It gets on my nerves when you can hear it whirring away, mines silent now

PRICE....

I always go for the cheapest ones like my shuttle sn26p..It was only £400..

Ignore price, just if two cases both cost the same, what would make you choose one over the other.

I think it have to be looks..Because i want a Silverstone Temjin TJ07 or Lian Li v1000+

But then again i wouldn't buy a good looking half mm thick steel biscuit tin.

So Build quality is right up there with the looks..

Build quality then, the cases look the way they do due to the build quality

size

Most of the time i found the layout of the inside of the case is more important then the size of it..

 

[Yewen]

Yeh but if a case is too small, not much you do to it can hide the fact

I find working on cases that are 'too' big a pain, IDE cables not reaching, front port wires not reaching etc.

Looks
Build Quality
Internal Space (usually indicates good cooling potential)

Hence my purchase of the SilverStone TJ-03 earlier on this year. Overpriced maybe; but a damn fine case.

I voted cooling by accident, i actually meant to do all of the above.

There's not just one thing that you take into consideration when you're buying a case, you'll have a look at all the aspects of it. There'll be maybe one or two which are particularly more prominent, but they all come into play.

Summed it up perfectly.

That pretty much sums up my wavemaster

The wavemaster is a 2000 case, so is getting on JUST a bit now; but still would run a SLI rig I am most certain of that

 

[gr1mey]

I will be posting pics of my setup at the weekend, yes the case is a beauty. So much so Im going to sell my old P180 lol

 

[Behemoth]

For me, it's a bit of both build quality and cooling, I hate cutting myself to bits of cheap cases

 

[Yewen]

Build quality, you use a tank for a case so that is no surprise to me

Cheers for the replies, not really too many surprises with the results, bar the amount who have opted for the 'All above' option, was expecting it to be 90% cooling 9% looks really

pics of my rig are now up at:
